Join a Modern, Cloud-Driven Practice Supporting Growing Businesses

 

Are you an experienced Cloud Bookkeeper looking to join a progressive accountancy practice where your skills will be fully utilised and developed? Our client, a forward-thinking firm based in Keighley, is seeking a detail-oriented professional to support a diverse portfolio of clients while playing a key role in their expanding digital and MTD-focused services.

This is an excellent opportunity to work closely with experienced accountants, gain exposure to varied clients, and develop your career in a technology-led environment.

 

The Role: Your Responsibilities

You will take ownership of day-to-day bookkeeping for a portfolio of clients, ensuring accurate and timely financial records while supporting wider accounting processes.

Key duties include:

  • Managing a portfolio of clients using cloud accounting software
  • Processing financial data and maintaining accurate bookkeeping records
  • Preparing and submitting VAT returns
  • Liaising with clients via email and telephone, building strong professional relationships
  • Supporting Making Tax Digital (MTD) processes and development within the firm
  • Assisting senior accountants with:
    • Posting journals and adjustments up to trial balance
    • Preparation of management accounts (where applicable)
  • Managing deadlines effectively and prioritising workload
  • Occasional travel to client sites to collect records when required

 

About You: Skills & Experience Required

We are looking for a proactive and organised individual with strong practice experience and a solid understanding of cloud bookkeeping systems.

Essential criteria:

  • Minimum 3 years’ experience within a UK accountancy practice
  • Strong experience in bookkeeping for:
    • Sole traders
    • Limited companies
    • Partnerships
  • Proficient in cloud accounting software, ideally including:
    • Xero
    • Sage Business Cloud
    • QuickBooks
    • FreeAgent
  • Solid understanding of VAT processes and compliance
  • Ability to prepare accounts data accurately to trial balance level
  • Excellent organisational and communication skills
  • High level of attention to detail and accuracy
  • Ability to manage multiple deadlines and work independently

Additional requirements:

  • Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle (for occasional client visits) - desirable but not essential

 

Salary & Benefits Package

  • £28,000 – £35,000, depending on experience
  • Structured career progression opportunities into senior-level roles
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • Exposure to a varied and growing client portfolio
  • Opportunity to develop expertise in cloud accounting and MTD systems
  • Supportive, collaborative team environment
  • Modern systems and forward-thinking approach to accountancy
  • Flexible working arrangements where appropriate

 

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Be part of a firm actively investing in digital accounting and cloud technology
  • Gain hands-on experience across a wide range of industries
  • Work in a role offering autonomy, responsibility, and progression
  • Develop both your technical and client-facing skills
