JOB OVERVIEW

Overview:

We run a busy martial arts fitness business in the UK with two limited companies.

I’m looking for someone organised and reliable to:

keep Xero accurate and up to date
handle journals between the two companies properly
and help me stay on top of our VAT position (Flat Rate Scheme)

This is a small role, but it’s important. I’m not looking for someone I need to chase, I’m looking for someone who stays on top of things and flags issues early.

What You’ll Do
Weekly / Ongoing
Reconcile bank transactions in Xero
Reconcile Stripe / PayPal / GoCardless payouts
Match receipts using Dext
Keep both Xero accounts clean and up to date
Monthly

1. Intercompany Journals (Important)

Post journals between the two companies
Follow simple allocation rules we provide
Make sure both companies align properly

2. VAT Tracker (Key Responsibility)

Maintain a simple Google Sheet showing:
Rolling 12-month turnover
% of VAT threshold used
Monthly trend
Clearly highlight if we are getting close to the VAT threshold

???? I need to be able to glance at this and know where we are immediately

3. Monthly Summary
Send a short update:

What changed this month
Anything unusual
Any risks or actions needed (especially VAT-related)
Fortnightly (Every 2 Weeks)
15-minute video call (UK morning time)

We will review:

VAT tracker
current position vs threshold
anything that needs attention
How We Work
You stay on top of your work without needing to be chased
You communicate early if something is unclear or delayed
You attend scheduled calls on time
If something can’t be done on time, you let me know early
Requirements
2+ years hands-on Xero experience
Confident posting journal entries (not just categorising)
Understanding of UK VAT basics
Experience reconciling Stripe or similar systems
Good written and spoken English
Organised and proactive
Hours & Pay
8–10 hours per month
Long-term role
$8–$12/hour depending on experience

???? To Apply (Important)

Please record a short 1-minute video answering:

If one company pays for something that belongs to another company, how would you record it in Xero?
How would you track if a business is close to the VAT threshold?

Keep your answers simple and clear.

You can send your video via:

Loom
Google Drive (please make sure access is enabled)

Also include:

Your hourly rate
A brief example of a time you spotted a financial issue

Applications without a video will not be considered.

?? Final Note

If you are not confident with journal entries or VAT tracking, this role is probably not the right fit.
