Description

Bookkeeping is the foundation of good financial management and getting it right first time matters. If it matters to you, then read on.

We are working with an exciting accountancy practice, based in Kidderminster, with high growth plans who are investing for a long-term future.

They are definitely not your traditional, stuffy practice but pride themselves on partnering with their growing local client base.

The Company
A relatively young firm, they have grown consistently over the last three years and have expanded the team accordingly.

With a managing director who is leading the business forward but still wants it to be a fun place to work.

They have a solid local client base, who share the same values as this business. They are setting the foundations for their long-term future with a recent acquisition of office space. They are a digitally focused practice.

A flexible attitude and hybrid working highlight the work ethic and trust they put into their engaged employees.

This is an inclusive business, sharing in successes and strategic planning for the future. You will be a piece of the jigsaw, not just a number. They promote and are active in their charity work, giving back to the local community.

The Role
This Bookkeeper role is a key part of the business, and we are looking for someone with 2 years of bookkeeping experience, who can hit the ground running

Responsibilities will include:

Ideally, you will have a driving license and be mobile as there will be some onsite work at client's premises.

Be highly attentive and have a detailed and analytical personality. You should be organised and able to manage your own workflow and daily tasks and therefore meet ongoing deadlines.
