Bookkeeper

We are looking to expand our team with an AAT Qualified Bookkeeper or similar to join our accountancy practice in Bedlington.

Working primarily with Pet Professionals throughout the UK, our practice supports hundreds of clients from small sole traders to larger limited companies with a variety of tax and payroll services whilst delivering a quality, professional yet friendly and approachable service. Trading as The Pet Accountant, we are the go-to accountancy firm for all pet professionals from pet stores to dog boarders, trainers, walkers and groomers.

We are not like your typical accountancy firm and that's why our clients like us so much. From our casual dress to our engagement with our clients at events such as Crufts and the Pet Industry Federation awards our close-knit team with a family feel really shines through. So whilst your skills are important - so is your personality.

If you are an AAT Level 3 AATQB or similarly qualified bookkeeper and you want to feel valued, an integral part of a team, want your own portfolio of clients to manage and enjoy working with all aspects of bookkeeping then we would like to hear from you.

In return we offer a competitive salary, additional annual leave for years of service up to 38 days per year starting at 33 days holiday, bonuses based on the practice achievements and sign-on bonus for any clients you bring on board.

Progression will be supported and actively encouraged as well as the opportunity to join us on marketing events which could include attendance at trade shows throughout the UK.

- Managing a portfolio of between 50-70 clients
- Monthly reconciliation of bank statments
- Processing of purchase Invoices into the accounting system
