BOOKKEEPER - NOT-FOR-PROFIT SERVICES
SURREY - PART TIME – PERMANENT - MULTI-ENTITY ROLE IN A SMALL, HANDS-ON FINANCE TEAM
£35,000-£38,000 + bonus
Are you a Bookkeeper/Assistant Accountant who likes owning the detail across more than one set of books?
Do you thrive in a small finance team where people pitch in rather than stick to job titles?
We Do Group are hiring a Bookkeeper for a growing services business working in the not-for-profit sector. The finance function looks after eight limited companies that operate together, and this role takes ownership of the books for four of them.
It is a genuinely hands-on role with real ownership of the detail. You will run the day-to-day processing, keep on top of partially exempt VAT, and review the nominal ledger at each period end so the numbers are clean before they go across for management accounts. The finance team is small, experienced and collaborative - if one person is under pressure, the others step in.

WISH LIST
- Solid transactional accounting experience across more than one entity - purchase ledger, bank, expenses and VAT
- Working knowledge of Xero (or an equivalent package) and confident in Excel

THE ROLE
- Own the books for four of the eight limited companies
- Process and post daily transactions accurately across multiple entities
- Review, approve and export weekly expense claims from around 100 field-based employees
- Manage the expenses platform and its integration into the accounting system
- Record and reconcile bank transactions across multiple bank accounts
- Process supplier invoices, manage the approval process and run payments
- Prepare and file quarterly VAT returns, including partially exempt treatment
- Query anything where the VAT position is not clear rather than guessing at it
- Review the nominal ledger at the end of each four-weekly period
- Identify and correct mispostings, and sign off your own postings before handover for management accounts
- Support the finance team through period-end close and reporting
- Support the four-weekly payroll where needed, including RTI submissions, pension uploads and BACS payments
