Job description

Are you an experienced bookkeeper with a passion for cloud accounting and VAT compliance?

THE ORGANISATION

The organisation is an established, award-winning accountancy practice based in central Edinburgh.

  • A well-respected firm with a strong local reputation
  • Focus on quality, process improvement, and client satisfaction
  • Hybrid working model offering flexibility between home and office

THE ROLE

This is a hands-on bookkeeping position with a focus on VAT. You will manage client records, prepare VAT returns, and support system automation within a busy practice environment. The role involves helping clients optimise their records through cloud platforms, particularly Xero, and participating in process improvements. Responsibilities include:

  • Managing and accurately posting client transactions using Xero and related tools such as Dext and other integrations
  • Preparing and submitting VAT returns, ensuring correct VAT coding and allocations across different industries
  • Organising and controlling client records, performing quality checks with checklists, and suggesting efficiencies without compromising quality
  • Responding promptly to client queries and chasing answers to ensure smooth communication
  • Assisting with Xero onboarding, setup, and delivering basic training to clients
  • Identifying opportunities for process automation and workflow enhancement
  • Supporting senior staff with audits and regulatory compliance

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

This role is suited to someone with practical experience working in an accountancy firm, who is keen to challenge the status quo and improve existing systems. You will need a good grasp of Xero, VAT regulations, and excellent client-facing skills.

Mandatory:

  • At least 2 years’ experience in bookkeeping within an accountancy practice
  • Proven skills in Xero, including cloud-based record management and transaction posting
  • Strong knowledge of VAT rules and compliance, with experience preparing VAT returns
  • AAT qualification or equivalent experience
  • Ability to communicate clearly and build relationships with clients and colleagues
  • Proactive mindset with enthusiasm for process improvement
  • Preferred:
  • Experience with QuickBooks and FreeAgent
  • Knowledge of industry-specific VAT rules and regulations
  • Exposure to automation tools and reporting software like Power BI
  • Experience in small-to-medium practice environments

ON OFFER

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing firm that values innovation and employee input. The practice offers flexible working arrangements, early finish Fridays, and a supportive team environment. You’ll gain exposure to diverse clients and industry sectors while working in a role that encourages improvement and professional growth. Benefits include:

  • Competitive salary (negotiable based on experience)
  • Hybrid working model with flexible days
  • Early finish on Fridays
  • Supportive team culture with opportunities to influence processes
  • Exposure to varied client industries, enhancing your skills and career trajectory
