Role: Bookkeeper: UK based clients

Bookkeeper / Accounts Assistant (Remote)

LDM Accounting Services Ltd is a growing UK accountancy firm established in 2025. We’re looking for an organised, reliable bookkeeper who can take ownership of day-to-day work for a portfolio of small business clients and grow with the firm.
Most of our bookkeeping is completed in Xero, with occasional work in Excel. We mainly use Xero Tax for accounts, corporation tax and self-assessment returns, and sometimes use TaxCalc. You’ll work directly with Luke, so clear communication, attention to detail and the ability to manage deadlines independently are essential.

Key responsibilities

• Maintain accurate bookkeeping records for a portfolio of UK clients in Xero.
• Process and reconcile bank transactions, invoices, receipts and other supporting documents using Xero Documents and Hubdoc.
• Identify missing information, unusual transactions and reconciliation differences, and raise queries clearly.
• Prepare bookkeeping records for quarterly VAT returns and assist with VAT return preparation.
• Use Excel where needed to analyse transactions, reconcile balances or prepare supporting schedules.
• Keep client work up to date and communicate progress and outstanding queries.

Depending on your experience, the role may also include preparing draft year-end accounts, corporation tax returns and self-assessment returns using Xero Tax or TaxCalc, as well as assisting with payroll journals and confirmation statements.

Essential experience and skills

• At least 5 years’ UK bookkeeping experience, including at least 3 years using Xero.
• Confident using Xero Documents or Hubdoc to process invoices and receipts.
• Sound understanding of UK VAT and the ability to recognise when a transaction needs further review.
• Strong reconciliation skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Clear written and verbal English, including the ability to explain client queries simply.
• Ability to organise your own workload, meet deadlines and work independently from home.
• Reliable internet connection and a suitable home office setup.

Experience preparing accounts or tax returns in Xero Tax or TaxCalc would be an advantage, but is not essential if your bookkeeping experience is strong.

To apply

Please submit:

1. A personalised message describing your UK bookkeeping experience, the types of clients you’ve worked with and your experience using Xero.
2. A short video introducing yourself.
3. Your availability for an interview over the next seven days.
