Senior Accountant / Senior Payroll – Practice

Location:

Stoke On Trent

Salary: upto £35,000

Looking for a senior role where your expertise is valued, your work makes a real impact, and your life outside the office matters? This could be the one.

I’m working exclusively with a well-established national accountancy practice that has grown without losing its family-focused, supportive culture. They’re looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant / Senior Payroll professional to join a team that genuinely cares about its people and clients.

Why this role is exciting:

* You’ll take the lead on payroll (around 75% of the role) and support local clients who value face-to-face relationships.

* Work across SAGE Payroll, CIS, pensions, VAT, and accounts prep for sole traders & Ltd companies. (No corporates. No faceless work.)

* Enjoy a proper handover from the outgoing team member—the firm prefers the right person over a rushed hire.

* Experience a culture that truly values work-life balance—flexible working arrangements, including remote working when needed, are supported.

What they’re looking for:

* Senior-level practice experience, with the confidence to work independently

* Strong SAGE Payroll skills (essential), with CIS and pensions experience

* Someone who wants a long-term role in a stable, people-focused practice

This isn’t just another job, it’s a role where stability, flexibility, and a human approach to work are real.
