WE ARE HIRING!
Company Description
MBE Accountancy Ltd is a professional accountancy practice providing bookkeeping, accounts, and advisory services to small and medium-sized businesses. We build long-term relationships with our clients through reliable, accurate, and timely support, and we pride ourselves on attention to detail and clear communication in everything we do. Our clients span a range of sectors, so no two days look quite the same.
Role Description
This is an on-site Bookkeeper / Accountant role based in Windermere, available on a full-time or part-time basis.
You'll handle bookkeeping (mainly Xero and Sage) and prepare VAT returns for a varied client base. You'll also prepare accounts for sole traders and limited companies, including personal tax returns. A real strength of our practice is that you get to see a job through from start to finish — preparing the accounts, calculating both company and personal tax, and writing the completion letter to the client.
What we're looking for
Proficiency with accounting software (Xero and Sage) and strong Excel skills for reporting and data analysis. Knowledge of IRIS is a plus but not essential.
A solid grasp of accounting principles, VAT, payroll, and UK tax, with the ability to apply them accurately.
Strong organisational and time-management skills, with careful attention to detail.
Clear communication skills for working with clients and colleagues, including explaining financial information in plain terms.
The ability to work independently, juggle multiple jobs, and meet deadlines in a busy office.
A relevant qualification (AAT, ACCA part-qualified, or equivalent) is preferred but not essential — equivalent practical experience is equally welcome.
Experience in a practice or multi-client environment is beneficial, along with a commitment to ongoing professional development.
Salary
Depending on qualification and experience £25,000 to £40,000
