About the Role

Hybrid Working | Free Onsite Parking | Progression Opportunity

We’re working with a growing, forward-thinking accountancy practice based near Reading who are looking to add a Bookkeeper / Management Accountant to their team.

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a role where you’ll be more than just processing numbers – you’ll become a key part of your clients’ finance function, building relationships and adding real value.

Why this role stands out:

  • Hybrid working and flexible hours (including early finish Fridays)
  • Free onsite parking
  • Clear progression as the firm continues to grow
  • Supportive, collaborative team environment
  • Study support available if desired
  • Regular socials and a people-first culture

The Role:

  • Day-to-day bookkeeping using Xero (invoicing, bank recs, control accounts)
  • Preparing monthly/quarterly management accounts
  • VAT returns across various schemes
  • CIS returns and payroll journals
  • Reviewing work completed by junior team members
  • Liaising directly with clients and supporting queries
  • Providing Xero training and occasional client visits

What we’re looking for:

  • Bookkeeping experience within a UK accountancy practice
  • AAT qualified (or similar)
  • Confident using Xero
  • Strong attention to detail and client communication skills

This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys client interaction and wants to grow into a more senior, advisory-focused position over time.

Even if you don’t meet every requirement, we’d still encourage you to apply – we’re working on a range of opportunities across the region.

Apply now or get in touch for a confidential chat – we’ll always speak with you before sending your CV anywhere.
