JOB OVERVIEW

Hi, I’m Fiona.

I run a small UK accountancy practice, and I’m looking for one exceptional person to work closely with me long term.

This is not an entry-level role.
This is not a bookkeeping-only role.
This is not a role for someone who needs constant hand-holding.

I need someone who can take work from bookkeeping right through to completed year-end accounts for:

- sole traders
- partnerships
- limited companies

You must already have real UK accounting experience.
That part is non-negotiable.

Please do not apply unless you already have genuine UK accounting experience.

WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR

You will likely be a strong fit if:

- you already understand UK accounting work in practice, not just in theory
- you can prepare a full set of accounts
- you are strong in Xero
- you are comfortable in Excel
- you are organised, accurate, and proactive
- you are happy being back-end, with minimal client contact
- you take pride in clean, tidy, correct work
- you can hit the ground running

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

- full Xero bookkeeping
- bank and balance sheet reconciliations
- preparing sole trader accounts
- preparing partnership accounts
- preparing limited company year-end accounts
- supporting tax return preparation
- preparing and supporting VAT returns
- preparing and supporting payroll
- keeping ledgers, working papers, and files clean and accurate
- catching errors early and fixing them properly
- taking ownership of work and seeing it through

MUST-HAVES

- strong senior-level accounting experience
- real UK accounting experience
- proven ability to prepare year-end accounts for sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies
- strong Xero proficiency — you will be tested on this
- comfortable in Excel
- good written English
- able to work independently without micromanagement
- reliable laptop or PC, strong internet, and quiet work setup
- a second screen is strongly preferred
- professionalism, maturity, and pride in your work

HOW WE WILL ASSESS YOU

This role is for a serious candidate, so we will assess properly.

You will be tested on:

- your UK accounting knowledge
- your ability to handle full sets of accounts
- your Xero proficiency
- how you think and solve problems

Please only apply if you are confident in these areas.

WHO YOU’LL BE WORKING WITH

This is a small, heart-led team — just me, Fiona, and my husband Rudi, who helps with systems and tech behind the scenes.

We both work from home.
It’s personal.
It’s hands-on.
It’s real.

You won’t be just a number here.
We’re not a big agency.
We care deeply about the people who work with us.

WORKING STYLE

We do not use invasive screen-tracking software.

We manage by trust, communication, and output.

HOURS

This is a full-time remote role.

We need reliable overlap with UK time, usually during:

8:00am–12:00 noon UK time

That means a late afternoon / evening shift in the Philippines, depending on the time of year.

PAY

Php 80,000 to Php 120,000 per month for the right candidate.

This is a long-term independent contractor role, not employment.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

In the Philippines, family matters.
It matters to me too.

I built this business so I could be there for my daughters. I want the right person in this role to have that same dignity:

- work from home
- be trusted
- do meaningful work
- be part of something real

We are prepared to wait for the right person.
We care more about finding an A+ long-term fit than hiring fast.

HOW TO APPLY

Apply here:

----------

Use access code:

FJ2026

The application includes a few short questions and a voice recording.

Please complete the application properly, as that is part of how we assess fit for the role.
