Bookkeeper | Central Southampton | Office-based | Competitive salary free parking
About the company: This well-established and highly reputable organisation, based in Central Southampton, is looking to appoint a Bookkeeper to join its close-knit finance team. The business operates across two complementary entities – leasing and maintenance – and offers a supportive, friendly working environment where finance is valued and well-structured. This is a fully office-based role, ideal for someone who enjoys being part of a small, collaborative team.
The role
This is a hands‑on, end-to-end bookkeeping role, offering variety and exposure rather than a narrow transactional remit. Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, you will play a key role in the day-to-day running of the finance function, supporting both entities across a broad and varied workload.
Key responsibilities include:
* Bank and account reconciliations
* Purchase ledger management and creditor control
* General financial reporting and reconciliations
* CIS allocation and reverse‑charge processing
* Supporting VAT processes
* Running a small payroll
* Ad‑hoc finance support as required
What you’ll need to succeed
To be successful in this role, you will:
* Have previous experience in a similar bookkeeping position
* Have exposure to payroll
* Be organised, detail-focused and able to prioritise effectively
* Be confident, proactive and comfortable working independently
* Have strong IT skills and clear communication
* Experience using Xero would be advantageous, but not essential
What you’ll get in return
* Competitive salary
* Free on-site parking
* A varied and interesting role
* Supportive Financial Controller and friendly team environment
* Long-term stability within a successful business
