Bookkeeper and Charity Accounts Preparer

£4,000 annual contract  |  Remote with Brighton local preferred

Trans Pride Brighton is looking for an experienced self-employed bookkeeper or small business to take us on as a client. The contract covers routine bookkeeping, annual charity accounts, support through independent examination, the trustees’ annual report and most of the Charity Commission annual return.

Our bookkeeping is light for most of the year, from September to May, then ramps up significantly during our busy summer. We use FreeAgent but are open to changing systems. There is no payroll, pension administration or VAT work, and the contractor will not make payments or issue invoices.

We are looking for

• Charity bookkeeping and annual accounts experience.
• AML supervision, professional indemnity insurance and client references.
• Experience with CIOs, restricted funds and Charity Commission reporting is strongly preferred.

Applications are open to everyone, and we especially welcome applications from trans and non-binary bookkeepers. Brighton-based applicants are preferred, although the work can be completed remotely.

To apply, send a short introduction, relevant experience and your proposed approach to [email protected] by 31st October 2026.

GOOD TRANS NEWS ALERT! 

We have secured the future of the Trans Pride Centre! Thanks to the National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund, we have been awarded a grant of £121,278! This money is ringfenced to keep the rent paid, the lights on, and training for new volunteers covered for the next five years.

This is hugely positive news for Brighton, especially, which is losing our vital LGBTQ+ venues at an alarming rate. The Trans Pride Centre means everything to us. More than just being our home base and storage for our many, many gazebos, flags, and merch, this space is a beacon of visibility for the trans and non-binary people of Brighton.

Knowing that the basics are taken care of until 2031 is such a relief for our volunteer committee and will transform how the charity plans for future stability. We’re so excited to bring back regular opening times and to finally provide our community with the radical, grassroots support we dreamed of when we first signed the lease almost five years ago. 

This good news is an important reminder that even in dark times, there is always support, there is always community, and there is always a glimmer of hope.
