Freelance Bookkeeper, Remote, c. 1 day per week flexibly spread across the week, £250 per day
The Client
Our client is a growing SaaS technology business developing intelligent communications software to help businesses manage and improve their customer conversations.
With a team of around 12, this is a small, entrepreneurial business where people work closely together and individuals have the opportunity to make a real contribution.
They are now looking for an experienced Bookkeeper to take responsibility for their day-to-day transactional finance activity.
The Role
This is a hands-on bookkeeping role covering the core transactional finance requirements of the business.
Working primarily in Xero, with some occasional Excel work, responsibilities will include:
- Accounts payable and accounts receivable
- Accruals and other month-end bookkeeping activity
- Revenue recognition
- VAT
- Payroll
- Maintaining accurate and up-to-date financial records
- Supporting the wider team with day-to-day finance queries as required
The Flexibility
This is a fully remote freelance role requiring approximately one day's work per week – but importantly, the hours do not need to be worked as one fixed day.
The client would ideally like someone who can spread the equivalent hours across the working week, dipping in and out of the finance function as required during normal office hours. For example, this might mean an hour or two on several days rather than seven hours on a Tuesday.
There is plenty of flexibility around exactly how this is structured; the important thing is that there is regular finance support and visibility across the week.
It could therefore work particularly well for an experienced freelance bookkeeper who already has a portfolio of clients and is looking to add another small business to their week.
The Person
We are looking for an experienced, self-sufficient Bookkeeper who is comfortable taking ownership of the transactional finance requirements of a small, fast-moving business.
You will ideally have:
- Strong bookkeeping experience within an SME environment
- Good working knowledge of Xero
- Experience across AP, AR, VAT, payroll and accruals
- An understanding of revenue recognition
- Good Excel skills
- The ability to work independently and manage your own workload
- A responsive, pragmatic approach and the flexibility to provide support at different points across the week
Previous experience working with SaaS or technology businesses would be useful, but isn't essential.
Salary and Benefits
- £250 per day, invoiced to the client
- Approximately one day / 7.5 hours per week, flexibly spread across the working week
- Fully remote
- Considerable autonomy over how the hours are structured
- Freelance/contract arrangement
- An excellent opportunity to add a regular, ongoing client to an existing portfolio
