JOB OVERVIEW

I run a UK-based strategic finance consultancy working primarily with e-commerce businesses across both the UK and US. I am looking for an experienced and reliable bookkeeper to support several client accounts.

This is initially a part-time role of approximately 8 hours per week, with the opportunity for additional hours as the role develops.

Responsibilities

* Bookkeeping across Xero and QuickBooks Online
* Bank and credit card reconciliations
* Transaction coding and review
* Accounts payable and accounts receivable
* Month-end reconciliations
* Accruals and prepayments
* Balance sheet reconciliations and review
* Supporting VAT preparation where applicable
* Working with e-commerce platforms and payment providers
* Identifying unusual transactions, errors or areas requiring further investigation

Experience required

E-commerce bookkeeping experience is essential.

You should also have:

* At least 3 years of professional bookkeeping experience
* Strong hands-on Xero experience
* Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks Online
* Experience managing multiple businesses or client accounts
* Strong understanding of bookkeeping and accounting principles
* Excellent attention to detail
* Good written and spoken English
* Ability to work independently and raise questions when something does not look right

Experience with the following would be particularly useful:

* UK and US businesses
* Amazon
* Shopify
* Stripe and PayPal
* UK VAT
* Multi-currency accounts
* E-commerce settlement reconciliations

I am looking for someone who understands the accounting behind the transactions rather than simply processing them. Good judgement and the ability to identify issues are important.

Hours and pay

Approximately 8 hours per week initially.

Pay range: $4-$6 per hour depending on experience.

There is potential for the role and number of hours to increase over time for the right person.

How to apply

Please include the following in your application:

1. How many years of professional bookkeeping experience do you have?
2. How many years have you used Xero professionally?
3. How many years have you used QuickBooks Online professionally?
4. Which system are you strongest in - Xero or QuickBooks Online?
5. What e-commerce businesses or platforms have you previously worked with?
6. Do you have experience working with UK businesses?
7. Do you have experience working with US businesses?
8. What experience do you have with UK VAT?
9. How many client accounts or businesses have you managed simultaneously?
10. What is your current availability?

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a short video interview and asked to complete a brief 20-minute bookkeeping assessment.
