Success Guide
Senior bookkeeping roles at this level are usually filled quickly, so make sure your CV clearly shows the full cycle you have owned before, from source documents through to balance sheet. Recruiters will want to see your experience with debtors, creditors, VAT submissions and payroll spelled out. Be ready to discuss specific accounting software you have used and how you keep reconciliations accurate and on time. Double check that your contact details, availability and salary expectation are current before you send anything off. If you have examples of audit support or management accounts assistance, mention them.
