UK Accounts Prep—Xero & QuickBooks
Budget: £5 – £10 GBP
I run a growing UK-based accountancy practice and need a fully qualified accountant to step in and complete several assignments end-to-end.
Software
Software will be Both Xero and QuickBooks; you should feel equally comfortable navigating each platform and switching between them as the files dictate.
Scope of work
The immediate workload centres on a full set of year-end accounts for multiple small companies. Source records, bank feeds, and prior-year working papers are already organised in cloud folders. Your job is to transform those raw records into fully reconciled, submission-ready figures.
Core deliverables
• Control account schedules covering Debtors, Creditors, and Prepayment balances, each tied back to the ledgers
• An Extended Trial Balance (ETB) with all year-end journals posted and clearly referenced
• Posting of sales and purchase invoices, plus bank, payroll, and other journals directly into Xero and QuickBooks as applicable
• Maintenance of the fixed asset register with depreciation journals
• Payroll summaries re-reconciled to RTI filings
• Quarterly and annual VAT workings, plus corporation tax computation and draft CT600 figures
Acceptance criteria
A job is considered complete when the ETB and control schedules agree to the closing balances in Both softwares, every reconciliation item is cleared or explained, and working papers are neat enough for direct review by our senior partner.
Timeline & workflow
Assignments come in batches; I will upload the first client file immediately, with others following once the quality of the initial set is confirmed. Communication will be via Slack and weekly check-ins on Zoom.
Only qualified ACCA or Chartered Accountant can be considered.
If you have UK practice experience and can deliver the above accurately and on time, let’s get started right away.
