Client Bookkeeper Fully remote Must be Kent based £28,000 - £34,000 Role Client Bookkeeper Location Fully remote, Kent based Salary £28,000 - £34,000 Hours Full-time, Monday to Friday Consultant Lydia Sinclair, ProTalent Limited The short version A fully remote bookkeeping job, with a small independent practice, for someone who lives in Kent. Own portfolio, real client contact, and a team small enough that you won't be a number. About the firm A small independent accountancy practice in Kent, led by a Chartered Accountant who built it from scratch and still works closely with every client. They look after small and medium-sized businesses across the full range, from bookkeeping and payroll through to management accounts, tax and advisory work. So the bookkeeping sits next to the advisory side rather than being processed off in a corner. Their reputation is built on communication. They are not the accountants you only hear from in January, and they aim to answer client queries the same working day. That is the standard the whole team works to. The role You would look after your own portfolio of SME clients and be the person they come to, rather than passing work up a chain. Day to day bookkeeping for a portfolio of SME clients VAT returns, start to finish Bank reconciliations and keeping the ledgers clean Incomplete records through to trial balance Supporting monthly and quarterly management accounts Helping with payroll where it is needed Talking to clients directly about records, queries and deadlines Getting clients comfortable with their accounting software Remote, but Kent based. Here's why The remote set-up is the norm here, not a temporary arrangement or a two-days-from-home compromise. You would genuinely work from home. The reason they need you in Kent is so you can get to the office or to a client when it is actually useful. In practice that means occasional team days and the odd client visit, not a commute. If you live in Kent and want to stop commuting, this is a good one. Who this will suit An experienced bookkeeper, ideally from practice or another multi-client setting AAT qualified, part qualified, or qualified by experience Confident taking incomplete records through to trial balance Good VAT knowledge Comfortable on cloud software such as Xero, QuickBooks or Sage A good communicator, because that is what this firm is known for Organised and self-managing, since remote here means real autonomy Living in Kent and able to travel occasionally What's on offer £28,000 to £34,000, depending on experience Fully remote working, properly set up A varied client base with exposure to advisory work, not just compliance A small team where your view actually counts Direct access to the firm's owner, a Chartered Accountant Room to grow as the practice grows Interested? Get in touch for a confidential chat and I'll tell you who the firm is and what they're like before you decide whether to apply. Nothing goes anywhere without your say so.

Account Manager (Accounts Production) Norwich (Hybrid) £30,000 to £38,000 FTE If you trained in practice, still love getting the books right, and want to work somewhere that actually stands for something this one is worth reading. About the firm This is a hugely successful accountancy practice based in Norwich, serving around 600 clients across the UK. Their client base reads differently to most - owner-managed SMEs, entrepreneurs, charities, CICs, and mission-driven organisations who care about more than just the numbers. The service offer goes beyond core compliance into R&D tax, carbon accounting, ESG reporting, and fractional CFO work. They are also genuinely forward-thinking about how they work. AI tooling is embedded into day-to-day practice. An offshore delivery partnership handles bookkeeping and accounts production for part of the portfolio. And the leadership has serious professional depth. The role This is a hands-on practice role. Bookkeeping and VAT sit at the heart of it - not as a stepping stone to something else, but as the foundation everything else is built on. In practice, that means three things: bookkeeping you do yourself for clients where complexity calls for it; bookkeeping done with AI tools that you review, correct, and stand behind; and bookkeeping done by the offshore team that you supervise, quality-check, and own the outcome of. The standard is the same whichever route it takes. Beyond bookkeeping, the role covers: VAT compliance under MTD: standard scheme, flat rate, partial exemption, and OSS where applicable Year-end accounts to review-ready standard (FRS 102 1A and FRS 105) Corporation tax computations and CT600 returns Straightforward personal self-assessment returns (SA100) for directors and individuals Account management for your own client portfolio - meetings, deadlines, correspondence, and upsell referrals Supervision and quality control of offshore bookkeeping delivery Who this will suit You have trained in accountancy practice and are still doing the work. You do not see bookkeeping as something you have moved past, you see it as the thing that makes everything else possible. Specifically: Confident working knowledge of UK VAT, FRS 102/105, and corporation tax built in practice, not industry MAAT qualified, or part-ACCA/ACA with active study underway Still delivering bookkeeping directly, through AI tools, or by supervising an offshore team Able to prepare review-ready limited company accounts and CT returns independently Client-facing by nature comfortable on camera, professional, and able to lead a meeting without backup Experienced at supervising others and managing rework constructively Fluent in cloud accounting: Xero, FreeAgent, or QuickBooks What's on offer £30,000 to £38,000 FTE, dependent on experience and qualifications Fully funded BUPA healthcare insurance Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme Profit-sharing bonus scheme 30 to 33 days' holiday inclusive of bank holidays (pro-rata, based on working pattern effective 1 July 2026) Study support for ongoing ACCA/ACA qualifications Hybrid and flexible working post probation Workplace pension Cycle to work scheme Beautiful office with great transport links A clear progression pathway into a fully autonomous account management role How to apply Get in touch with Lydia at ProTalent.

A B Corp certified accountancy practice in Norwich is looking for an HR & Sustainability Lead to own the people function and the firm's B Corp and sustainability commitments.

The HR function is already built, the B Corp framework is in place. What this role does is keep both running properly and tell the story externally.
