Looking for a role where your progression is genuinely planned, not just promised?

Imagine joining a firm where audit and accounts are properly balanced, your development is actively supported, and long hours are not worn as a badge of honour.

This growing practice is led by two approachable, hands-on Directors and has built a culture that truly puts people first. Careers are developed steadily, clients are well cared for, and work-life balance is taken seriously.

Due to continued growth, they re now looking to welcome an Audit & Accounts Semi Senior into their collaborative and supportive team.

This is a true 50/50 Audit & Accounts position, perfect for someone who enjoys variety and wants to continue developing across both disciplines.

• Preparing year-end statutory accounts under UK GAAP
• Producing management accounts, including journals, accruals and prepayments
