Edinburgh, United Kingdom TaxAssist Accountants Full time

Fancy working for an employer who offers clear career progression opportunities, study support and unlimited paid annual leave?

TaxAssist Accountants Edinburgh East are looking for a bookkeeper to join our team and help our clients.

Our franchise is one of the biggest and most successful in the TaxAssist network, which supports over 70,000 small businesses and individual taxpayers. We have over 1100 clients of different sizes in various industries and we support them with compliance services including payroll, bookkeeping, VAT, accounts, and tax preparation. But what really matters is adding value to our clients and their businesses, and ensuring we provide them with the best possible Customer Experience.

The other thing that really matters to us is providing opportunities for everyone in the team to progress in their careers, and everyone is offered support through internal training, professional qualifications, and mentoring. It is a busy and a fast-paced working environment, but we try to balance this out wherever possible and we don’t take ourselves too seriously. You can check out our Halloween efforts on Instagram for proof of this

When we are not busy with client work you can find our team volunteering and fundraising for Cash for Kids, and there are lots of opportunities to get involved with this throughout the year.

Being a small team means everyone can make an impact on the overall success and growth of the business and we’re really looking for someone who wants to take this opportunity and really step into the role and make it their own. New ideas and suggestions will be welcomed and taken seriously.

Joining TaxAssist means you can:

- Be part of a recognised national accountancy network while also working in a friendly, small business environment.
- Receive support from the TaxAssist network and Support Centre for technical queries as well as professional development and training.
- Benefit from access to training, CPD, guidance, tools and videos to expand your soft skills and technical knowledge.
- Join a team that is quick to adapt, are advocates of cloud bookkeeping and other time-saving products - we take innovation seriously and are often involved in piloting and testing new products for the wider TaxAssist network
- Be part of a company that focuses on more than just filing tax returns and meeting deadlines. We want to provide excellent customer service to our clients and play an active role in supporting our local community.
- Have the chance to attend the TaxAssist Annual Conference, which normally takes place at the five start Celtic Manor resort in Wales.

We also offer:

- Unlimited paid annual leave
- Team away days and meals
- Employee wellbeing assistance
- Support with personal and professional development
- Study support (financial assistance and study leave)

**The Role**

The role includes the following duties so we are looking for people who have experience in:

- Bookkeeping for VAT return purposes using software such as Dext, QuickBooks and Xero.
- Managing a portfolio of client work and deadlines.
- Unpicking existing records to resolve and reconcile.
- Liaising with HMRC.
- Cloud Bookkeeping.

Being a small team, if there’s something else you have an interest in that you’d like to be involved in, the answer will probably be yes if you are managing your existing workload. We are always happy to get people involved in new areas they want to learn more about, or just enjoy doing.

Training will be provided on all software and systems used in the practice. We use a range of software including TaxCalc, QuickBooks and Dext and do also work with both Xero and FreeAgent. Our firm is a platinum partner of QuickBooks as well as being Dext Pioneers. You will receive training to QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor Advanced Online level as well as Xero and FreeAgent Certifications.

You must be used to managing your own time and working on your own initiative whilst following established processes. Strong IT and problem-solving skills are also essential.
