About Us

BW Trophies is a well-established Walthamstow-based supplier of trophies, medals, glass awards, and bespoke engraving services. Operating both a busy London showroom and multi-channel online stores, we supply schools, sports clubs, charities, and corporate clients across the UK with fast-turnaround, personalised awards.

We are looking for an organised, tech-savvy Part-Time Bookkeeper to join our team for 3 days a week to take full ownership of our Xero accounts and multi-channel sales reconciliations.

Key Responsibilities

Multi-Channel Bank & Merchant Reconciliations: Performing regular bank reconciliations in Xero, accurately matching daily payouts, refunds, and processing fees from Shopify, Amazon, Stripe, and our in-store card terminal against bank deposits. Sales Ledger: Raising customer invoices for schools, sports clubs, and corporate trade accounts, tracking BACS payments, and managing light credit control. Purchase Ledger: Processing supplier invoices, matching purchase orders with delivery notes, verifying VAT treatment, and preparing weekly/monthly supplier payment runs. Record Keeping & Month-End Prep: Keeping digital receipts and records tidy in Xero, resolving occasional payment discrepancies, and preparing clean books for our external accountant at quarter/year-end.

What We Are Looking For

Qualifications: AAT Level 2 Certificate in Accounting/Bookkeeping (or equivalent practical experience). Software & Platform Experience: Confident using Xero and Microsoft Excel & Gmail. Hands-on experience reconciling Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, or Stripe payouts (including handling merchant fees and clearing accounts) is a major advantage. Core Bookkeeping Skills: Proven track record managing sales ledger, purchase ledger, and multi-account bank reconciliations in a retail or e-commerce business. Personal Qualities: Detail-oriented, methodical, proactive, and comfortable working independently in a friendly, fast-paced small business.

Who This Role Would Suit

An AAT Level 2 (or Level 3) graduate or student looking for a hands-on, real-world bookkeeping role to build practical experience alongside their studies. A returning parent or career-breaker who already knows Xero and wants genuine 3-day flexibility (9:00 am – 5:00 pm) without taking work home at the end of the day. A local Walthamstow-area bookkeeper who prefers a short commute and thrives in a friendly, down-to-earth business where you work directly with the owners. An e-commerce-savvy accounts assistant who gets genuine satisfaction from ticking off multi-channel reconciliations (Shopify, Amazon, Stripe) and keeping digital records spotless.

Why Join BW Trophies?

Flexible Working Pattern: Choose which 3 weekdays suit you best within our 9:00 am – 5:00 pm showroom hours. Direct Impact: Work closely with the business owners in a supportive, established local company. Competitive Package: £15.00 per hour, pro-rata paid holiday, and workplace pension scheme.
