Bookkeeper

About the role

We’re working with a small, growing business backed by private investment. Our Dublin finance team has four accountants and supports operations across Ireland, the UK, the Isle of Man, Australia, and Japan. We’re looking for someone to join the team and take ownership of the day-to-day ledger work that keeps everything accurate. The role starts hands-on and, over time, grows into account preparation and reconciliation ownership, taking more work off the Accountant Manager.

What you’ll do

• Complete bank reconciliations across thousands of bank accounts in Xero, and investigate and clear differences at volume.
• Prepare and post manual journal entries, with clear supporting documentation.
• Review bank statements and transactions for accuracy and completeness.
• Perform balance sheet reconciliations and keep supporting schedules up to date.
• Support month-end and year-end processes by keeping the ledger clean and on time.
• Identify errors, gaps and process improvements, and raise them early.
• As you gain experience, take ownership of account preparation and reconciliation areas.

What we’re looking for

• Hands-on experience with Xero, ideally on a multi-entity or high-volume bank reconciliation process. This is a key requirement.
• Experience in bookkeeping, accounts assistance or a similar finance support role. Accounting training or a qualification in progress (such as AAT, ACCA or similar) is welcome, and a degree in a related subject is a plus.
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to reconciling and checking work at volume.
• Confident Excel skills.
• Some exposure to multi-currency transactions is helpful, given our international operations.
• Good judgement and comfort working independently, taking responsibility for your own work and asking the right questions.
• A willingness to learn, and a desire to build a long-term career in finance.

Profile

You’re someone who takes ownership, enjoys getting stuck in, and wants to build a solid foundation in finance. You may be early in your accountancy journey, or have technical skills and experience you’re ready to use more fully. You’re reliable, thorough and happy to work autonomously once you know the processes.

How we work

• Hybrid working, with one to two days a week in our Dublin office.
• Flexible hours and a strong focus on work-life balance.
• A small, supportive team of accountants where your work has a visible impact.
