NXTGEN is delighted to be partnering with a well established and growing independent accountancy practice to recruit a Bookkeeper into their friendly and supportive team. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a firm that genuinely values its people, offering plenty of autonomy, strong client relationships, and the chance to become a key part of a growing business. This role is ideal for an experienced Bookkeeper who enjoys taking ownership of their work, building long term client relationships, and working as part of a close knit team. You'll manage your own portfolio of clients while supporting the wider team and playing an important part in the continued growth of the practice. Unlike larger firms where roles can become quite specialised, this position offers real variety. You'll work closely with a broad range of owner managed businesses, providing hands on support and becoming a trusted point of contact for your clients. As the practice continues to grow, you'll also have the opportunity to contribute ideas, improve processes, and get involved in different areas of the business.
