Bookkeeping Manager
£35,000 - £40,000 | Full-time or Part-time | Hybrid & Flexible Working
Are you an experienced Bookkeeper looking for a role where you can take real ownership of your client portfolio while benefiting from genuine flexibility around how and when you work?
We're working with a progressive and growing accountancy practice looking to appoint an experienced Bookkeeping Manager to take responsibility for a varied portfolio of clients. This is an excellent opportunity for a confident, technically strong bookkeeper who enjoys client contact and wants the autonomy to manage their own workload.
With both full-time and part-time options available, alongside hybrid working and flexibility, the firm is particularly keen to speak with experienced candidates looking for a role that offers a better balance without compromising on responsibility or career satisfaction.
The Opportunity
As a Bookkeeping Manager, you'll manage a portfolio of clients across all aspects of their day-to-day bookkeeping requirements. You'll become a trusted point of contact, ensuring records are accurate, deadlines are met and clients receive a responsive, high-quality service.
This is a hands-on portfolio management role rather than a purely transactional bookkeeping position. You'll work closely with a variety of businesses, helping them maintain effective financial records and supporting them with their wider accounting requirements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

What you'll be doing
- Managing your own portfolio of bookkeeping clients
- Maintaining accurate financial records for a range of businesses

- Preparing and reviewing VAT returns
- Managing bank reconciliations and control accounts
- Processing and reviewing sales and purchase ledger information
- Supporting clients with day-to-day bookkeeping queries
- Working with cloud accounting software and helping clients get the most from their systems
- Liaising directly with business owners and finance contacts
- Identifying and resolving bookkeeping issues efficiently
- Ensuring work is completed accurately and in line with relevant requirements
- Working closely with the wider accountancy team to ensure a seamless service for clients
What we're looking for
We're keen to speak with highly experienced bookkeepers who have previously managed a portfolio of clients, ideally within an accountancy practice or professional services environment.
You'll be confident managing your own workload and comfortable being the main point of contact for your clients.
You'll ideally bring:
- Significant experience across all aspects of bookkeeping
- Experience managing a portfolio of multiple clients
- Strong VAT knowledge and experience preparing VAT returns
- Excellent reconciliation and transactional accounting skills
- Strong experience with cloud accounting software, ideally including Xero
- Excellent organisation and time management skills
- Strong client communication skills
- A proactive and solutions-focused approach
- The ability to work independently while remaining part of a collaborative team
