Senior Bookkeeper & Client Manager | WorkFin | UK Remote | Dental Sector Fintech

Senior Bookkeeper & Client Manager | WorkFin | UK Remote | Dental Sector Fintech

We're WorkFin, a UK fintech building a modern finance platform for dental practices. We handle the full finance function for our clients: bookkeeping, payroll, pensions, management accounts, and prep through to final accounts. Our delivery team in India does the heavy lifting day-to-day. We're looking for an experienced UK bookkeeper to be the bridge: reviewing their work, supporting them, and being the trusted point of contact for our UK clients.

This is a hands-on role for someone who's done the full bookkeeping job, not a management role above the work. We're a fully remote team.

Who we think you are

You've been doing bookkeeping for years, probably for several small businesses at once. Maybe as a self-employed bookkeeper juggling 5 to 10 clients, or at a small accountancy practice. You've handled the lot: bank recs, payroll runs, pension auto-enrolment, basic HR admin, monthly management accounts, and prep right through to year-end and final accounts. You know your way around Xero and Sage like the back of your hand. You're tired of juggling clients and want a stable, full-time role with one team, but you still want variety and client contact.

You're a confident communicator. You can sit on a call with a practice owner and explain why their numbers look the way they do. You can also send a clear, kind message to a colleague in India explaining what needs fixing and why.

What you'll actually do day-to-day

Review and quality-check the work coming from our bookkeeping team in India: reconciliations, journals, ledgers, management accounts. Catch the mistakes before clients see them.

Support and coach the India team. Answer their questions, explain UK-specific quirks (HMRC, payroll rules, pension rules, dental sector nuances), help them get better.

Run point with UK clients. Onboarding new dental practices, getting their books set up cleanly, being their go-to contact alongside our Ops Director.

Liaise with external accountants and auditors at year-end. Answer queries, pull reports, make sure handovers are smooth.

Own the tricky stuff that needs a UK bookkeeper's eye: payroll reviews, pension submissions, management accounts sign-off, draft year-end packs.

Onboard new clients with our Ops Director. Data migration, opening balances, getting Xero or Sage set up properly.

The experience we're looking for

5+ years hands-on UK bookkeeping, ideally across multiple clients (practice background or multi-client self-employed both great).

Confident running the full cycle: bank recs, payroll, pensions, management accounts, trial balance, final accounts prep.

Solid Xero and/or Sage experience (QuickBooks a bonus).

Comfortable with UK payroll software (BrightPay, Sage Payroll, Xero Payroll, etc.) and pension portals (NEST, Smart, People's Pension).

Good written English. You'll be sending a lot of clear, friendly messages to the India team and to clients.

Comfortable working fully remotely. Self-starter, good at managing your own time, happy collaborating over Microsoft Teams and video calls.

AAT Level 3 or 4, or ICB qualified is great but not essential. Experience matters more.

Dental sector experience a bonus, not required.

What we're not looking for

Qualified accountants (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) looking for an ops role. This isn't that.

Pure management accountants who haven't touched bookkeeping in years.

Anyone who hasn't run payroll themselves.

Why this might suit you

One employer, steady income, no chasing invoices from your own clients.

Fully remote. Work from anywhere in the UK.

Real variety. Every dental practice is a bit different.

You'll be the senior UK voice in the team. Your judgement matters.

Modern tech stack, no paper, no faff.

Genuine path to grow as we scale.

Package

Competitive salary based on experience (happy to discuss range early).

Pension, bonus, generous holiday.

Fully remote (UK-based).

Occasional travel to meet clients and the India team.

• If you've been running the books for a handful of small businesses and want to bring that experience into a growing fintech where your work is properly valued, we'd love to hear from you.
