Job Title: Senior Accountant

Salary: £31,000 £ 36,000 (pro-rata)

Location: Sheffield

We're looking for an experienced accountant who enjoys working closely with clients and genuinely influencing how their businesses run. If you prefer real conversations over generic reporting, and you want to carve out a part‑time role with purpose, this one is worth your attention.

You’ll take ownership of a portion of the firm’s portfolio, handling everything from bookkeeping oversight through to management accounts, VAT and corporation tax work. This isn’t a box‑ticking position; your input will directly shape the quality of service clients receive. You’ll be speaking with business owners, helping them understand their numbers, and offering sensible, practical guidance. You’ll also work alongside a small, supportive team who value clear communication and steady, reliable work.

Our client is a modern, friendly accountancy firm based in Sheffield. They keep things straightforward for their clients, offering tailored support rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. Their team is tight‑knit, down‑to‑earth, and committed to giving each client consistent, year‑round attention—not just the usual once‑a‑year contact. It’s a place where your ideas are listened to and your experience is genuinely valued.

• Part‑time
• 18 hours a week
• Flexible days and hours

• Managing bookkeeping accuracy and maintaining strong financial records
• Preparing monthly or quarterly management accounts
• Completing VAT returns, corporation tax work and self‑assessments where needed
• Speaking directly with clients to explain financial information clearly
• Suggesting ways to improve internal processes and client experience
• Ensuring compliance deadlines are met without last‑minute rushes

• Minimum AAT Level 4 qualified
• UK accountancy practice background
• Confident communicating with clients and explaining figures in plain language
• Good organisational skills with the ability to manage your own workload
• Comfortable using accounting software
