This is an exciting opportunity for you to play a vital part in supporting residential landlords across the UK by ensuring financial data is accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with all relevant regulations.

. You will be joining a knowledgeable and supportive team that values your attention to detail and commitment to maintaining high standards in financial administration. The organisation offers flexible working opportunities, allowing you to balance your professional responsibilities with your personal life while contributing meaningfully to the success of both small-scale landlords and large commercial portfolios.

• Be part of a collaborative environment where your expertise in bookkeeping and finance administration supports both individual landlords and large organisations.
• Work alongside experienced professionals who are committed to delivering excellent service and fostering growth through dependable teamwork and shared knowledge.

What you'll do

As a Bookkeeper within this respected property management organisation, you will be responsible for managing day-to-day financial operations that underpin the company’s ability to support its clients effectively. Your role will involve processing invoices, reconciling bank accounts—including those involving multiple currencies—and maintaining accurate ledgers for both payables and receivables.

You will also play an important part in preparing VAT returns, supporting month-end processes such as journal postings and accruals, and keeping meticulous records through well-organised filing systems.

• Process sales invoices and purchase invoices efficiently, ensuring all payments and receipts are managed accurately and on time.
• Perform daily or weekly bank reconciliations, including handling multicurrency transactions when required, to maintain precise financial records.
• Maintain detailed accounts payable and receivable sub-ledgers, ensuring all entries are current and discrepancies are promptly addressed.
• Reconcile supplier statements regularly, investigating and resolving any invoice differences or issues that arise.
• Assist with VAT preparation and submission schedules, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and deadlines.
• Support month-end close activities by posting journals, preparing accruals, prepayments, and other necessary adjustments.
• Keep digital and paper filing systems organised so that all financial documentation is easily accessible for audits or reviews.
• Collaborate closely with the Managing Director, external accountants, and other internal teams to ensure smooth financial operations across departments.
• Assist with ad hoc tasks such as conducting customer credit checks, preparing expense reports, and logging benefits-in-kind items as needed.

What you bring

To excel as a Bookkeeper in this role, you will bring proven experience from previous positions where you have managed key aspects of finance administration. Your background should include hands-on use of accounting software—such as Xero or QuickBooks—and demonstrate your comfort with complex reconciliations.

• Demonstrated experience in bookkeeping or finance administration roles for at least two years, ideally within a property or service-based environment.
• Proficiency with accounting software such as Xero or QuickBooks—or similar platforms—allowing you to manage transactions efficiently.
• Strong numerical aptitude paired with exceptional attention to detail ensures accuracy in all aspects of financial record-keeping.
• Comfortable performing reconciliations of bank accounts (including multicurrency) as well as supporting month-end closing activities.
• Good command of Microsoft Excel functions such as pivot tables and VLOOKUPs enhances your ability to analyse data effectively.
