A growing bookkeeping firm in Aylesbury is looking for a part-time Practice Bookkeeper to support a varied portfolio of SME clients. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys tidy records, clear deadlines, and working across multiple businesses rather than being tied to just one.

The role You’ll support day-to-day bookkeeping and keep client records accurate and up to date.

Key duties include:

• Bookkeeping using cloud accounting software
• Bank reconciliations and maintaining clean ledgers
• Preparing and submitting VAT returns
• Handling client queries and chasing information when needed
• Supporting the team with ad-hoc bookkeeping/admin tasks during busy periods

What we’re looking for

• Practice-based or multi-client bookkeeping experience
• Comfortable using cloud accounting software and Excel
• VAT return experience
• Strong attention to detail and reliable deadline management
• Professional, clear communication with clients

What’s on offer

• 30 hours per week (part-time, permanent)
• A friendly, stable team environment
• Varied client work and consistent workload
• Opportunity to increase responsibility over time (if desired)

Led by an entrepreneurial Founder and supported by a highly experienced industry professional, the firm combines trusted relationships with a modern mindset. You’ll have the autonomy to shape client delivery, introduce improvements, and be a genuine partner to the businesses you support.

Why this opportunity stands out

• A respected, long-established firm in a growth phase with a modern, advisory-led direction
• A role built around commercial finance and client partnership, not just compliance
• Hybrid working after probation and a genuine commitment to balance and flexibility
• Direct involvement with leadership on service development and future direction
• Clear progression into a leadership pathway (Senior Manager / Client Director)

The Role You’ll take ownership of a portfolio where the focus is on supporting and elevating the client’s finance function. You’ll act as a trusted extension of their internal team — improving reporting, forecasting, controls, and decision support.

Typical responsibilities include:

• Building and delivering outsourced finance support (monthly/quarterly) tailored to each client
• Producing and reviewing management accounts, KPI packs and board-ready reporting
• Budgeting, forecasting and scenario planning (including margin analysis and cost control)
• Cashflow management: forecasting, working capital improvement, funding support
• Supporting clients with finance process improvement (month-end, controls, reporting cadence)
• Helping clients get more from their systems (Xero, add-ons, reporting tools) and improving data quality
• Acting as the senior point of contact: translating numbers into actions and recommendations
• Coaching and developing junior team members involved in delivery
• Supporting leadership with client development, onboarding and expanding service lines

There may be some liaison with year-end / tax colleagues, but the core of this role is commercial finance and advisory-led delivery.
About You

• ACA/ACCA/CIMA qualified (or equivalent); strong QBE candidates considered
• Proven experience supporting clients with management reporting, forecasting and commercial insight
• Strong systems ability (Xero essential; add-ons and reporting tools a plus)
• Confident communicator: able to challenge constructively and influence stakeholders
• Organised, proactive and comfortable owning deadlines and client relationships
• Full UK driving licence and access to own vehicle

What you’ll receive

• £55,000 – £75,000 DOE
• Hybrid working after probation and flexible working options
• Ongoing development and a clear progression route
• A supportive, high-trust culture where quality and people matter

Led by an entrepreneurial Founder and supported by a highly experienced industry professional, the practice blends traditional professionalism with a modern, progressive mindset. The result? A collaborative and trusting culture where accountants can truly thrive—both personally and professionally.

Why this opportunity stands out

• A respected, long-established firm entering an exciting growth phase
• Direct involvement with leadership on strategy and client development
• A genuine commitment to work-life balance and flexible working options
