JOB OVERVIEW

UK Accounts Preparation Specialist (NOT Bookkeeping) | Php 60K to 75K | UK Clients | Xero Required

*** Read This First — This Is NOT a Bookkeeping Role***

We are a UK-based firm of accountants supporting hundreds of clients across multiple industries. We are specifically hiring an Accounts Preparation Specialist with real UK statutory accounts experience.
-If your background is mainly bookkeeping, invoicing, or data entry - this role is NOT suitable.
-If you have hands-on experience preparing year-end statutory accounts for UK companies, keep reading.

About the Role
-You will be responsible for preparing complete, accurate, and compliant UK statutory accounts — not just maintaining books.
-You will handle multiple client files each month, working closely with UK managers and accountants to deliver audit-ready financials.
-This role requires someone who understands the full accounting cycle, not just parts of it.

What You’ll Be Doing
-Prepare year-end statutory accounts for UK clients (primarily using Xero)
-Build and maintain detailed Excel working papers for all balances
-Post and review journals (accruals, prepayments, depreciation, reclassifications)
-Perform full balance sheet reconciliations with proper supporting schedules
-Review and adjust Profit & Loss accounts
-Handle VAT reconciliations and reviews
-Support PAYE and payroll reconciliations where needed
-Calculate loan interest and related entries
-Prepare audit-ready working papers and schedules
-Work directly with UK accountants to resolve queries
-Assist in file handovers and review processes
-Prepare management accounts when required

What We’re Looking For (Strict Requirements)
-Proven UK accounts preparation experience (statutory year-end work is essential)
-Minimum 3+ years accounting experience with UK clients
-Strong understanding of:
-Balance sheet reconciliations
-Accruals & prepayments
-VAT & PAYE
-Statutory reporting
-Xero experience is required (Sage or QuickBooks is a plus)
-Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, reconciliations, variance analysis)
-Experience with Dext / Hubdoc is a bonus
-Ability to manage multiple deadlines and client files
-Strong written and spoken English
-Reliable internet + professional home office setup

Compensation & Benefits
Php 60,000 to Php75,000/month (depending on experience)
HMO (via Intellicare) after 3 months
13th Month Pay
Paid Philippine Holidays
Work aligned with UK business hours

We are looking for professionals who can confidently handle full accounts preparation from trial balance through to final accounts. If you’re looking for long-term, stable work with a UK firm that values precision and expertise, this is an excellent opportunity.
