Junior Practice Accountant

Are you in the early stages of your accountancy career with 1–2 years’ experience in practice and a real interest in developing your bookkeeping and client skills?

If you’ve started building your grounding in bookkeeping and VAT and are now looking for a supportive accountancy firm where you can grow, this could be a great next step.

Why this Junior Practice Accountant role is different

You’ll be joining a well-established, traditional, and highly respected local accountancy practice in Beverley with a long-standing, loyal client base. You’ll be part of a small, close-knit, and supportive team, working for a business that prides itself on personal, professional service.

Our client is creating an n environment where you’re encouraged to learn, ask questions, and build confidence.

This is not a high-pressure, corporate environment. It’s somewhere you can:

Get to know clients over time and understand how their businesses work

Build your skills on a steady but varied portfolio

Work closely with experienced colleagues who can support your development

What the Junior Practice Accountant job involves

Assist with bookkeeping for a variety of clients (sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies)

Help prepare VAT returns and management accounts

Reconcile accounts and maintain accurate financial records

Liaise with clients by email and phone to request information and answer straightforward queries

Support the wider team with ad-hoc accounting and administrative duties

You’ll start with tasks that match your current level of experience, with the opportunity to take on more responsibility as your confidence grows.
