???? Who We Are
We’re Sinclair Day Accountancy, a modern, people-first UK accountancy practice that believes work should feel meaningful and fun. We help businesses grow confidently, and we build lasting partnerships with the people who help us do it.
Now we’re looking for a Bookkeeper/Payroll Assistant in the Philippines — someone talented, proactive, and genuinely committed to being part of our close-knit family.
At Sinclair Day, you’re not “just another remote worker.” You’re a trusted member of our team. We celebrate reliability, loyalty, and integrity above everything else.
?
???? What You’ll Be Doing
• Providing excellent bookkeeping support to our UK clients
• Processing purchase invoices & managing bank reconciliations
• Reconciling control accounts
• Running smooth and accurate payroll
• Supporting UK VAT compliance (a solid grasp of VAT is a must!)
?
???? What We’re Looking For
• Strong knowledge of UK bookkeeping practices, especially VAT
• Experience with Xero and ideally Dext (we’ll train the right fast learner!)
• A self-starter who manages time well and takes initiative
• A team player with exceptional attention to detail
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Someone who takes real pride in doing things properly
?
???? Our Promise — and What We Expect in Return
We’ve built a culture of trust. Everyone on our team relies on one another to be honest, accountable, and open — even when things go wrong.
We understand that life happens. Wi-Fi drops. Deadlines move. Mistakes occur.
What matters to us is communication. Tell us the truth, early and clearly, and we’ll always have your back.
But if work isn’t being done or we’re not getting honest updates, that trust breaks — and trust is the foundation of everything we do.
So if you’re someone who values honesty as much as excellence, you’ll fit right in here.
?
???? Why You’ll Love Working With Us
• 100% remote — do your best work wherever you are
• Friendly, supportive UK team that treats you with respect
• Fast-growing firm where your work matters
• Opportunities to grow your skills and career with us
• A no-drama, no-micromanagement culture — built on teamwork and trust
?
???? How to Apply
Send us your CV and tell us:
• Why you’d be a great fit for our team
• Your experience with bookkeeping software (QuickBooks, Xero, etc.)
• Your experience processing UK Payroll — and which payroll systems you’ve used
• Your experience with UK tax types (and examples if possible)
?
???? Portfolio
If you’ve supported international clients or projects before, we’d love to see examples!
?
?? Final Note
We’re not just hiring for a position — we’re welcoming another member of the Sinclair Day family. We’ll train you, support you, and celebrate your wins… as long as you bring honesty, consistency, and heart.
If you’re ready to grow long-term with a team that genuinely values integrity and connection — welcome home. ????
