Senior Bookkeeper

About the company

THE FIRM An independent, cloud-based accountancy practice in Norwich with a clear purpose: to make accounting a genuine partnership for small businesses, not a black box. The client base is varied and interesting, from owner-managed businesses and entrepreneurs to charities and social enterprises.

They use AI tools properly (with a human always checking the output), the leadership team are serious about training and technical standards, and the culture puts wellbeing and development front and centre.

Your tasks

This is a senior bookkeeping and management accounts role with a modern Norwich practice. You'll keep the bookkeeping running smoothly, review other people's work and produce VAT, MTD and management accounts, with AI tools to help you work faster.

• Running the day-to-day bookkeeping and reporting planner, so work flows and deadlines are hit
• Reviewing junior colleagues' bookkeeping, spotting patterns and training errors out rather than quietly fixing them
• Preparing and submitting VAT and MTD returns
• Preparing monthly management accounts, with variance analysis and commentary
• Processing and reviewing bookkeeping in Dext, FreeAgent, Xero and QuickBooks
• Using AI to speed up file reviews, draft client queries and pull insight from the numbers
• Spotting bottlenecks and clearing them, rather than letting queries sit

Requirements

If you're the bookkeeper people come to when something doesn't add up, and you'd rather build smarter ways of working than do things the way they've always been done, read on.

• AAT Level 4, ICB qualified (MICB or FICB), or strong QBE
• At least 3 years' multi-client experience in UK accountancy practice
• Confident with VAT, MTD and management accounts
