## About this task

This energy services company in EV charging (51–200 employees) is looking for a specialist Bookkeeper for a monthly bundle of recurring tasks, 12–30 h a month. Brings late books up to date and ready for the accountant.

A named list of recurring items keeps the month predictable for both sides. It is an energy business with strict compliance and reporting cycles.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United Kingdom works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (UK time).

## What you deliver

- Clean up six months of unposted transactions for a retail LLC and deliver reconciled accounts and a trial balance.

- A month-end summary with hours used against the cap

- A running log of open questions, reviewed at the start of each week

- The monthly list of items completed, each with a link to the result

## What a month looks like

- Start of month: the company shares the items and the priorities

- Mid-month: progress check of 15 minutes

- Month end: hours used against the cap, results and open items

**Duration:** 12 weeks, with a monthly hours cap. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.

## Tools

QuickBooks Online Xero Excel

## Who fits

- 2-5 years of hands-on work as a Bookkeeper, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in QuickBooks Online, Xero and Excel

- Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate

### Nice to have

- Experience in a similar industry

- Comfortable explaining numbers or decisions to a non-specialist reader

## Not included

- Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

- Managing other contractors or employees

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in GBP after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.
