About the Role
We are recruiting on behalf of our client, a well-established business based in Cork City, for an experienced and reliable Bookkeeper. This is a hands-on role with full responsibility for the day-to-day financial records of the business.

- Minimum 2–3 years of bookkeeping experience in a similar role
- Proficient in at least one accounting software package (BrightBooks, Xero, Sage, or QuickBooks preferred)
- Strong working knowledge of Irish VAT rules and Revenue Online Service (ROS)
- Accounting Technician qualification (ATI or equivalent) preferred but not essential where experience is strong
- High level of accuracy and attention to detail
- Ability to manage own workload, prioritise effectively and meet deadlines without close supervision
- Discreet, professional and trustworthy — comfortable handling confidential financial information

- Genuine flexibility — part-time, full-time or flexi-time arrangement available
- Convenient Cork City location
