The role of Senior Bookkeeper at PBS

n

As a Senior Bookkeeper at PBS, you will take responsibility for delivering high-quality bookkeeping, payroll and compliance services across a portfolio of clients.

n

You will work closely with clients and the broader PBS team to resolve complex bookkeeping matters, maintain accurate financial records and ensure client work is completed correctly and on time.

n

This is a senior technical and client-facing position. It does not involve managing team members.

The essence of the role is simple –

- 10+ years of experience delivering end-to-end bookkeeping and payroll services
n
- Experience managing a portfolio of clients within a bookkeeping or accounting practice
