Bookkeeper

About The Role

Love a tidy reconciliation? Get a little thrill when the bank balances to the penny?

At Fresh Clarity, we help business owners swap financial fog for clarity, confidence and control. We’re a small, friendly, cloud-based practice who work with business owners who want more than just accounts and tax returns. We become part of their support network, helping them understand their numbers and make informed decisions for the future.

We’re looking for a Bookkeeper who’s more than a number-cruncher. You’ll be someone who enjoys getting to know clients, spotting ways to help them, and telling us when there’s a better way to do things.

A week in the life might include…

  • Looking after the bookkeeping for your own portfolio of clients
  • Bank and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Preparing and submitting VAT returns, on time and stress-free
  • Getting records shipshape for year end
  • Being the friendly voice clients turn to with their questions
  • Helping clients get the most out of Xero, QuickBooks and other cloud apps
  • Sharing ideas to make our processes slicker and our client experience even better

You’ll fit right in if you…

You’ll fit in well if you:

  • Have solid bookkeeping experience
  • Are confident with Xero, QuickBooks or Sage
  • Have an eye for detail that woudl impress a hawk
  • Can juggle deadlines without breaking a sweat
  • Enjoy chatting with clients and building relationships
  • Like taking ownership and seeing things through
  • Get excited about tech that makes life easier

We’re particularly interested in people who are proactive rather than reactive.

The sort of person who sees a potential bottleneck developing and speaks up early.

The sort of person who takes pride in meeting deadlines comfortably rather than at the last minute.

Bonus points (not essential) for…

  • AAT Qualified, or working towards it
  • Experience working in a finance team in industry
  • Payroll experience

What we Offer

  • Part-time or full-time role to fit around your life (min 20 hours)

  • Flexible working

  • Ongoing training and development

  • A small supportive team where your ideas actually get used

  • Real responsibility and variety

A note on settling in: Because relationships matter to us, we’d like you to spend your first few weeks mainly in our Wem office, getting to know the team, how we work and our clients.

Salary & Location

Our Office is based in the market town of Wem, Shropshire.  We love to work together in the office, knowing there is the flexibility to work remotely.

Salary: £27,000 – £30,000 FTE (depending on experience)
