What's it like?

As an assistant bookkeeper, you will be required to work with our current bookkeeper to help input our transactions into our bookkeeping software. Alongside this, there will be aspects of balancing and reconciling the various accounts to make sure everything adds up correctly.
 
Once your training has been completed, it is then up to you which accounts you do in which order. As long as you keep up with the deadlines, we’ll basically leave you to manage yourself.
 
You will receive full training in all aspects of the role.
 
As a part of this role, you also help with some other of the tasks to help the team alongside our current Sixth Form weekend team.
 

What are we looking for?

As for qualities we’re looking for, being an individual who is hard-working and has excellent mathematical skills. Ideally, you’ll be taking maths at A-level. A lot of our previous bookkeepers have gone onto top universities, e.g. Oxford. As you’ll have a lot of autonomy over your daily tasks, we need someone who is trustworthy.

We are looking for someone who can deal with different situations, even unexpected ones, and handle such moments in a constructive and helpful manner. However, despite any challenges you may face, we want to operate in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and assistance/support will always be offered from other team members, or from our in-house training system, TeamHCO. Additionally, our office is fitted with high-end speakers capable of AirPlay, perfect for Apple Music or Spotify, contributing to the laid back atmosphere.

  • Uploading statements to Xero, our bookkeeping software
  • Co-ordination with the senior bookkeeper for troubleshooting or assistance if needed
  • Recording transactions in Xero
  • Balancing the accounts
