Bookkeeper
London, West End
Permanent | On-site

Overview
We are seeking an experienced Bookkeeper to join a fast-growing luxury retail business in Central London. Reporting directly to the Founder, this is a hands-on role managing the day-to-day finances in a detail-driven environment.

This is not a high-volume invoicing role — each transaction is complex, involving international shipping, customs, and tax considerations. Strong expertise in Xero and confidence handling multi-layered financial processes are essential.

The position is initially fully office-based, with potential for hybrid working over time.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of day-to-day financial operations
• Manage invoicing and payments across multiple currencies
• Raise and issue detailed customer invoices for international orders, ensuring VAT and customs compliance
• Perform bank and account reconciliations, maintaining accurate records
• Oversee VAT processes, including preparation and submission of VAT returns
• Work closely with operations and logistics teams on documentation and distribution workflows
• Support budgeting, cash flow forecasting, accruals, and prepayments
• Manage credit control and ensure timely collection of payments
• Liaise with external auditors and support internal compliance

Candidate Profile

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in a similar role
• Strong working knowledge of Xero is essential
• Experience with international trade, logistics, or import/export processes highly desirable
• Proven ability to manage complex invoicing rather than high-volume processing
• High attention to detail with strong organisational and problem-solving skills
• Confident communicator, comfortable working cross-functionally
