We’re working with a well-established and growing business in Edinburgh that's looking to bring a capable and detail-driven Bookkeeper into their team. This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a flexible working environment and knows their way around a VAT return like the back of their hand.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Managing day-to-day bookkeeping tasks across multiple accounts
* Preparing and submitting VAT returns (you’ll need to be comfortable doing this independently)
* Handling bank reconciliations, accounts payable/receivable, and cash flow management
* Supporting with month-end processes and liaising with the external accountant when needed
* Potential for involvement in payroll or management accounts depending on experience
What We’re Looking For:
* Proven bookkeeping experience (either in-house or within a practice setting)
* Solid working knowledge of Xero – ideally with certification
* Confident in preparing VAT returns independently and accurately
* Someone who’s organised, proactive, and comfortable juggling a varied workload
* A strong communicator who can work well both remotely and in-office when needed
Why This Role?
* Hybrid working – typically 2–3 days in the office (central Edinburgh), rest from home
* Supportive and down-to-earth team culture
* Flexible hours and real autonomy in the role
* Scope to grow your responsibilities if that’s what you’re after
