• Experience dealing directly with clients in a professional manner.

• The ability to work independently while contributing positively within a collaborative team.

The Opportunity

No two days are the same in this role. You'll be supporting a wide range of businesses, each with different requirements, deadlines and ways of working. Success comes from being adaptable, well organised and comfortable switching between clients without compromising accuracy.

In return, you'll become part of a supportive and approachable team that values collaboration, encourages personal development and takes pride in delivering an excellent service to its clients.

If you're an experienced Bookkeeper with strong Xero skills and enjoy the variety that comes with working across multiple businesses, we'd be delighted to hear from you.
