We are a UK-based firm of accountants supporting hundreds of clients across multiple industries.

-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 55,000 to Php70,000/month (depending on experience)
HMO (via Intellicare) after 3 months
13th Month Pay
Paid Philippine Holidays
Work aligned with UK business hours

To be considered, follow these steps exactly:
3 Use 5 Apply Points

Submit ALL of the following:

-Updated Resume
-Cover Letter (must clearly demonstrate your UK accounts experience)
-Short video (REQUIRED) explaining your experience in accounts preparation and how you handle full sets of accounts

* Applications that do not follow instructions will be automatically rejected.

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.
