Accounts Assistant
Location: West of Bristol (easy drive from the city)
Salary: From £25,000 (DOE) | Full-time or Part-time | Hybrid working available
Are you someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced, friendly environment where no two days are quite the same? A well-established accountancy firm just outside Bristol is looking for a confident and proactive Accounts Assistant to join their sociable, supportive team.
This is more than just a back-office role, you'll be hands-on with clients, part of a genuinely fun and collaborative workplace, and trusted to take ownership of your work.
What you'll be doing:
You'll manage a varied portfolio of clients, mostly small businesses and sole traders, using Xero and other cloud-based tools. Day-to-day tasks will include:
Bookkeeping and maintaining accurate financial records
Bank reconciliations and VAT returns
Handling client queries with a helpful, solution-focused approach
Collaborating closely with your team and supporting wider client needs
What we're looking for:
A people-person who enjoys working with others and brings positive energy to the team
3+ years' experience in a bookkeeping role (ideally within an accountancy practice but not essential)
Comfortable using Xero and Microsoft Office
Well-organised, accurate and able to manage their own time
Confident communicator - written and verbal
A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle (essential due to location)
AAT qualified would be great, but not a deal-breaker
What's in it for you?
Salary starting from £25,000 depending on experience
Flexible working hours
Hybrid working once settled in
Free on-site parking
Additional annual leave
Company pension
A genuinely sociable team who enjoy working together and celebrating wins
You'll be joining a firm where personality is just as important as experience. If you're someone who takes pride in their work and enjoys being part of a lively team, we'd love to hear from you.
