Looking for a good bookkeeper

(Posted by: Henry Warren)

I’ve just lost my bookkeeper so I’m looking for a new one. Anyone got any ideas?

I need 1/2 a day a fortnight, just basic invoicing and management accounts (not payroll). They don’t need to be able to sign off the accounts at the year end - I already have guys for that. I’m just looking for the day to day really.

Ideally it’d be a small outfit who has some experience of charities and companies (we’re a charity who owns a holding company). They also need to be able to get to Aldgate (London) pretty easily.

    I will have a look at these. Planning to make a decision by Christmas with a view to the new guys starting in April.

    Any other introductions though - keep ‘em coming. The more the merrier.

    Thanks once again

    yup still weighing up my options at the moment. Have a few candidates now (thank you everyone!)Do you have someone in mind? Oh yes and we are a small business (well a charity actually - but most of money comes through social enterprises).
