Finance & AccountingAccountant

We are seeking an experienced UK Accountant to manage bookkeeping and accounting activities for a portfolio of UK-based clients. In this remote, part-time opportunity, you will be responsible for maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring compliance with established UK accounting practices. You will handle daily bookkeeping, bank and ledger reconciliations, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and year-end accounts preparation. Using Xero as your primary accounting platform, you will independently manage client accounts while maintaining high standards of accuracy and organization. You will also communicate with clients and internal stakeholders in English to resolve discrepancies, provide updates, and ensure timely financial reporting. This opportunity is ideal for an accounting professional with practical UK accounting experience who can work independently and deliver reliable results with minimal supervision.

Bank and Ledger Reconciliations: Perform regular bank reconciliations and general ledger reconciliations. Investigate discrepancies, identify inconsistencies, and implement appropriate corrections to maintain accurate financial records.

Accounts Payable Management: Handle supplier-related accounting activities, including processing purchase invoices, reconciling supplier accounts, maintaining payment records, and preparing payment runs.

Accounts Receivable Management: Manage customer invoicing and incoming payments by raising sales invoices, recording receipts, monitoring outstanding balances, and following up on overdue payments.

Year-End Accounts Preparation: Prepare and maintain financial records, supporting schedules, and relevant documentation required for year-end accounts preparation.

UK Accounting Compliance: Ensure bookkeeping and accounting records are accurate, complete, and maintained in accordance with applicable UK accounting practices and financial record-keeping standards.

Client Communication and Coordination: Communicate professionally in written and spoken English with clients and internal stakeholders to address accounting queries, provide progress updates, and follow up on outstanding information.

Independent Client Account Management: Take ownership of assigned client files, organize daily accounting activities, prioritize workloads, and consistently meet agreed deadlines with minimal supervision.

Issue Resolution and Quality Control: Identify and resolve routine accounting discrepancies, maintain strong quality standards, and escalate complex accounting matters when necessary.
