We are looking for a bookkeeper - finance assistance to join our finance team in a fully remote, online role for a Company based in the UK.
This is a transactional, process-driven position focused on day-to-day finance operations. The work is repetitive by nature and requires strong attention to detail, accuracy, and comfort working to regular deadlines — particularly around month-end.
This role does not include management accounts, financial analysis, or reporting ownership. It is ideal for someone who enjoys structured work, following clear processes, and seeing tasks completed correctly.
Key responsibilities:
Processing supplier and customer invoices accurately using online finance system
Maintaining purchase and sales ledgers remotely
Managing a shared finance inbox and responding to queries via email and internal tools
Performing regular bank and account reconciliations
Posting payments and allocating receipts
Assisting with credit control and chasing outstanding balances
Supporting month-end processes through reconciliations and checks
Maintaining accurate digital records and audit trails
All work is completed online, using cloud-based systems and remote collaboration tools.
What we’re looking for:
Previous experience in a finance assistant, accounts assistant, or similar transactional role
Comfortable carrying out repetitive, process-based finance tasks
Strong attention to detail and accuracy when working independently
Able to manage deadlines in a remote working environment
Confident using cloud-based accounting systems (Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, or similar)
Good written communication skills for handling queries remotely
Remote working expectations
Able to work independently and reliably without constant supervision
Comfortable communicating via email, google meets, and task management tools
Organized and disciplined when working from home
Able to ask questions appropriately and flag issues in a timely manner
What this role is (and isn’t)
This role is:
Fully remote and online
Transactional and operational
Process-driven and structured
Focused on accuracy and consistency
This role is not:
A management accounting role
An FP&A or analytical position
A stepping stone into strategy, investment, or advisory work
We are looking for someone who is happy to build reliability, ownership, and trust in core finance operations.
Why join us:
Fully remote role with clear expectations
Supportive and structured finance team
Opportunity to develop strong foundational finance skills
Long-term role with increasing ownership over time
