Job Summary

We’re partnering with a specialist UK food‑service supplier who are looking for an experienced Bookkeeper to join their friendly and expanding team. This is a great opportunity to play a key role as the company continues to grow its presence across the UK.

This role is ideal for someone who is confident managing day-to-day accounts and enjoys taking ownership of bookkeeping tasks in a busy, hands-on environment. As this is a brand-new position within a small but growing business, it will initially be a stand-alone role, liaising closely with external accountants, so candidates should be comfortable working independently.

• Manage accounts payable: process supplier invoices, match to POs/delivery notes (where applicable), reconcile supplier statements, and prepare weekly payment runs.
• Process staff expenses and company purchases, ensuring valid VAT documentation.
• Process and log supplier invoices, and company purchases.
• Maintain organised digital and physical filing systems for financial records.
• Support management with financial reporting (aged debtors/creditors, cash flow updates, invoice status etc.)
• Liaise with suppliers, customers, and accountants to resolve any finance-related queries.
• General office administration where required.

About you

• Experience in a bookkeeping or finance assistant role
• Strong understanding of accounts payable/receivable and credit control
• You will have hands-on experience with accounting software, ideally QuickBooks
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel and Outlook
• Excellent attention to detail and numerical accuracy
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• Ability to work independently and prioritise tasks in a small team environment

Nice to have (not essential)

• Experience in the wholesale, distribution, or food service sector
• QuickBooks Online experience
