Bookkeeper

Are you an experienced Bookkeeper looking to join a firm where modern technology, strong client relationships and continuous improvement genuinely matter?

EA First is partnering with a highly regarded independent accountancy firm in Cambridgeshire to recruit a Bookkeeper for its growing outsourced finance team.

This is an opportunity to support a varied portfolio of businesses with their day-to-day finance requirements, working as part of an established and supportive team. The firm has an excellent reputation, invests in cloud accounting technology and encourages its people to contribute ideas about how services and processes can be improved.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Processing client invoices and maintaining accurate accounting records
• Completing bank reconciliations within agreed timescales
• Managing data entry and sales and purchase ledgers
• Drafting client payment runs
• Raising sales invoices and supporting credit control
• Keeping workflow and task-management systems accurate and up to date
• Responding to client requirements professionally and promptly
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and increase efficiency
• Raising any risks or errors with the appropriate manager
• Maintaining a consistently high standard of client service

You may already be working as a Bookkeeper within an accountancy practice, outsourced finance provider or in-house finance team.

You will ideally bring:

• Practical bookkeeping and ledger-management experience
• Experience completing bank reconciliations and processing invoices
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy
• The ability to manage several priorities and meet deadlines
• Confidence using Microsoft Excel, Word and other everyday systems
• Experience with Xero or other cloud accounting software, or the willingness to develop it
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• A proactive approach to problem-solving and improving processes
• The ability to work flexibly and supportively within a busy team

This could suit an established Bookkeeper seeking a new environment or someone who has developed a solid foundation in accounting and is ready to take the next step.

You'll be joining a respected local firm with a forward-thinking approach, a broad client base and a team that values quality, collaboration and professional development.
