Bookkeeper

Bookkeepers are responsible for recording and maintaining a business's financial transactions, such as sales, purchases, receipts, and payments. They ensure that records are accurate and up to date, which is crucial for preparing accounts, tax returns, and financial statements. Bookkeeping can be done manually or using specialised accounting software. Bookkeepers often work for small businesses, charities, or as part of larger finance teams. The role requires attention to detail, good organisational skills, and a solid understanding of basic accounting principles. Some bookkeepers work independently, offering their services to a range of clients.
