Book Keeper

The Opportunity

Delighted to be supporting a fast-growing and people-focused Hospitality company based in the City of London recruit for a Book-keeper. This is a newly created role to support the growth of the business.

You'll maintain the ledgers for a portfolio of hospitality businesses, from restaurant groups, pubs and bars to cafés, live venues, caterers and events. Accurate, on time processing is the heart of the role, and you'll build working relationships with suppliers and business teams along the way.

You'll work alongside a Senior Bookkeeper and a Management Accountant on each business, with support on more complex work and room to take on more as you grow.

If you are looking to join a firm that genuinely values its people, encourages professional growth, and offers long-term career opportunities, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

Key Responsibilities

• You'll manage accounts inboxes, so queries and invoices are picked up and dealt with promptly.
• Purchase posting and supplier statement reconciliations will be yours, done accurately and on time each month.
• You'll prepare payment runs and handle supplier remittances and queries.
• Bank reconciliations across the businesses you look after will be kept up to date by you.
• You'll support operational reporting and stock or inventory processes where a business needs it.
• Day to day administration of Xero and connected apps such as Dext will sit with you.
• You'll help with balance sheet reconciliations, accruals, prepayments and VAT preparation.
• Payroll processing support will build your experience on one of our core services.
• Holiday and sickness cover for colleagues is shared across the team, and you'll play your part.

The successful candidate will possess:

• You have bookkeeping experience, ideally with hospitality businesses.
• You're confident in Xero and comfortable with Excel.
• Your attention to detail holds up when several businesses have deadlines in the same week.
• You communicate clearly with suppliers, founders and colleagues.
• AAT or ICB Level 2, or working towards it, would help, though it isn't required.
• Experience of hospitality systems such as EPOS, purchasing platforms or stock apps would be useful
