Remote Bookkeeper; UK Accounts

Remote Bookkeeper (UK Accounts) required in Cape Town

You’ll be the financial backbone of a rapidly expanding professional services firm, managing bookkeeping for a diverse portfolio of UK-based clients from the comfort of your South African home.

Supporting corporate, legal, and tax & accountancy advisory work premium-level stuff that punches well above what you’d expect from a firm of this size.

Salary: R40 000 per month.

• Recording financial transactions, reconciling bank accounts, posting journals, and keeping financial records accurate and current
• Managing VAT returns with confidence in UK VAT rules and compliance requirements
• Building strong client relationships as the main point of contact for your portfolio, meeting deadlines and advising on record keeping
• Working with cloud accounting tools like Dext and Xero to streamline processes and maintain best practice
• Preparing clean year-end files and supporting the accountants with accounts preparation, ensuring everything meets UK compliance and quality standards
• Collaborating across the wider team to deliver a seamless, high-quality client experience

You’ll have proven bookkeeping experience in an accountancy practice environment with strong UK expertise—particularly VAT preparation and compliance. Daily hands-on experience with Dext and Xero is essential, and you’ll need relevant bookkeeping qualifications.

You’re detail-oriented, organised, and a confident communicator who builds genuine relationships with clients and colleagues. You’re proactive, eager to develop your skills, and genuinely committed to doing the right thing and celebrating the differences in your team.

You’re joining an award-winning firm that’s been recognised as a Top 1% Employer and named Service Provider of the Year twice. They’re the fastest-growing company in their sector (2025) and listed in the FT’s 1000 Fastest Growing Companies in Europe. But here’s the real win: they actively discourage evening and weekend working, and you’ll work remotely from South Africa supporting UK clients during UK hours—no commute, genuine flexibility, and a culture that respects work-life balance.

You’ll earn a competitive salary with bonus and commission opportunities, clear career progression, and genuine support from Directors, Associate Directors, Managers and Associates who’ll help you learn and grow.
