Job Description:
About the company
This well-established and highly reputable organisation, based in Central Southampton, is looking to appoint a Bookkeeper to join its close-knit finance team. The business operates across two complementary entities-leasing and maintenance-and offers a supportive, friendly working environment where finance is valued and well-structured.
This is a fully office-based role, ideal for someone who enjoys being part of a small, collaborative team.

The role
This is a hands-on, end-to-end bookkeeping role, offering variety and exposure rather than a narrow transactional remit. Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, you will play a key role in the day-to-day running of the finance function, supporting both entities across a broad and varied workload.

Key responsibilities include:
*Bank and account reconciliations
*Purchase ledger management and creditor control
*General financial reporting and reconciliations
*CIS allocation and reverse-charge processing
*Supporting VAT processes
*Running a small payroll
*Ad-hoc finance support as required

What you’ll need to succeed
To be successful in this role, you will:
*Have previous experience in a similar bookkeeping position
*Have exposure to payroll
*Be organised, detail-focused and able to prioritise effectively.
*Be confident, proactive and comfortable working independently.
*Have strong IT skills and clear communication
*Experience using Xero would be advantageous, but not essential.
What you’ll get in return
*Competitive salary
*Free on-site parking
*A varied and interesting role
*Supportive Financial Controller and friendly team environment
*Long-term stability within a successful business
