Bookkeeper

Are you looking for a bookkeeping role where you can become a valued part of your clients' businesses rather than simply working through transactions? Do you enjoy variety in your day, developing strong client relationships and working within a firm that genuinely values your input? NXTGEN is exclusively partnering with a well respected and established accountancy practice to recruit an experienced Bookkeeper. This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team where your experience will be recognised and where you'll play an important role in supporting both clients and the continued expansion of the bookkeeping service. You'll take responsibility for your own portfolio of clients, working with businesses across a wide range of industries.

This opportunity offers genuine career development. As the firm's client base continues to grow, so will the bookkeeping function, creating the chance for you to broaden your responsibilities, contribute new ideas and help shape how the service develops in the years ahead.
