Business Services Senior Salary: £35,000 Location: Borehamwood Hours: 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday Working pattern: Flexible, hybrid working Holiday: 20 days plus bank holidays Employment type: Permanent, full time Bookkeeping, VAT, management accounts — and clients who actually need your advice. Some bookkeeping roles are exactly that: processing, reconciling, filing VAT returns, repeat. This one has a bit more about it. You’ll be joining the Borehamwood office of a fast-growing Top 20 accountancy firm, working with ambitious business owners who need proper day-to-day finance support, not just someone to tidy up the records once a quarter. The role sits within Business Services, so you’ll be close to the practical side of client work: management accounts, VAT, CIS, ledgers, reconciliations, prepayments, accruals and statutory accounts preparation. But there’s also a more advisory side to it, particularly around apps, Xero, software support and helping clients improve the way they manage their records. That’s the interesting bit. If you enjoy being useful to clients, sorting out messy records, explaining things clearly and becoming the person they trust on their bookkeeping and VAT matters, this role should suit you well.

Finance & Office Administrator Watford Predominantly office-based, with potential for some flexibility I’m working with a growing business based in Watford that is looking to recruit a capable and proactive Finance & Office Administrator.

Alongside accounts and finance administration, you will also be involved in supporting the wider running of the office and helping with general administrative tasks where needed. For the right person, this could be a really good opportunity to join a growing business, take on a broad role, and gradually build more finance exposure over time. The role will include: • Processing supplier invoices and helping with payment runs, • Raising sales invoices and supporting customer account reconciliations, • Assisting with bank reconciliations and cash postings, • Helping with month-end tasks, including journals, accruals, prepayments and reconciliations, • Processing expenses and comp...
