Jaffe & Company is looking for an experienced part-time Bookkeeper to take ownership of our day-to-day internal bookkeeping, reconciliations and payment processes.
We use Xero and Hubdoc, so you will need practical experience of both, together with a good working knowledge of Excel.
This is a flexible part-time role of approximately 15–20 hours per week. Ideally, the hours will be spread across several days, working around 3–4 hours per day between 9am and 3pm. The role is hybrid, with at least one day per week in the office.

- Completing bank and credit card reconciliations
- Preparing and processing regular payment runs and supplier payments
- Preparing monthly payroll journals
- Reconciling outstanding client balances between Xero and our client management system
- Drafting quarterly VAT returns for Director review
- Reviewing and correctly categorising transactions and resolving discrepancies
- Keeping financial records and supporting documentation organised and complete
- Identifying anything unusual and raising it promptly
- Looking for sensible ways to make our finance processes simpler and more efficient
What we're looking for
You will need:
- Previous bookkeeping experience using Xero and Hubdoc
- A strong understanding of bookkeeping and reconciliations
- A good working knowledge of Excel
- Experience preparing payment runs
- The ability to work independently and manage regular deadlines
Formal bookkeeping or accounting qualifications are useful, but strong practical experience is more important to us. Experience in professional services would be helpful but is not essential.
About you
We're looking for someone who is organised, dependable and accurate. You should be comfortable taking ownership of your work without close supervision and willing to investigate when something doesn't look right.
You'll also be reasonably tech-savvy and inquisitive. We want someone who is comfortable learning new systems and interested in finding better and more efficient ways of doing things.
