Whyfield: 4-day week employer
We are looking for an engaging and supportive bookkeeper to join our entrepreneurial and independent firm, in Truro, with an existing high calibre of experienced staff members and fantastic clients both regionally and nationally.
We offer a huge range of support to businesses of all sizes including sole traders, partnerships, charitable organisations and limited companies. The turnover of these businesses can range from several hundred to several millions of pounds.
While working alongside our fantastic team of friendly, enthusiastic and ambitious professionals, you will have the opportunity to develop your practical, technical and personal skills by carrying out a wide variety of tasks including:
- Bookkeeping - reviewing and reconciling business transactions, so that clients can benefit from the ability to budget, forecast and plan for the future.
- Creation and presentation of management accounts for clients.
- VAT calculations and returns.
- Using cloud software, such as Xero & QuickBooks.
- Attending and contributing to team meetings.
- Engaging in regular communication with internal and external stakeholders using telephone, email and face-to- face meetings.
