A fantastic opportunity for an experienced and highly capable Bookkeeper to join an established firm of Chartered Accountants based in beautiful Mayfair offices, working with a portfolio of private clients and family offices.

We are looking for someone with a strong bookkeeping background, ideally gained within an accountancy practice, family office or professional services environment, who enjoys taking ownership of their work and managing a varied workload.

This is an interesting and responsible position combining multi-client bookkeeping, payroll management and wider financial administration. You will be working closely with a small professional team and dealing with confidential financial matters where accuracy, discretion and attention to detail are paramount.

The role will include:

• Managing day-to-day bookkeeping for multiple clients, maintaining accurate financial records.

A good understanding of payroll processes is important, although further training will be provided. Knowledge of Xero, Sage, IRIS or Sage Payroll would be advantageous, along with strong Excel skills.

We are looking for someone bright, switched-on and technically confident who enjoys getting things right. You will be proactive, exceptionally organised and comfortable dealing with clients and sensitive financial information.

AAT or CIPP qualifications would be welcomed but are not essential. Your practical experience, approach and ability to take ownership will be equally important.

The package includes:

• £60,000 - £70,000 depending on experience.
• Flexible working hours.
• 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays.
• Enhanced pension scheme.
• Private healthcare.
