This is a great opportunity to join a well-established, people-focused accountancy firm that genuinely values its team.

You’ll be stepping into a varied and hands-on role that offers exposure to accounts, tax, VAT and client advisory, with support to continue developing your skills and career.

What the role looks like:

Preparing year-end financial statements for a wide range of clients

Completing corporation tax, personal tax, partnership tax and VAT returns

Reviewing bookkeeping and supporting clients with day-to-day queries

Advising clients on accounting software including Xero, Quick Books and Sage

Liaising with HMRC and helping ensure clients stay compliant

Getting involved in ad hoc projects and assisting on more complex work

Helping manage workflow and keeping filing deadlines on track

What we’re looking for:

AAT qualified or ACA or ACCA part-qualified

At least two years’ experience in an accountancy practice environment

A solid understanding of financial reporting standards and tax

Good time management and communication skills

Comfortable with cloud-based bookkeeping software

Someone proactive, detail-focused and happy working in a team

What’s in it for you:

22 days holiday plus bank holidays, increasing with service

Access to a flexible benefits scheme

Hybrid working with Wednesdays from home

Supportive and down-to-earth working culture

Training, CPD and development opportunities

Exposure to a varied client base and clear room to progress

This would suit someone who’s looking for that next step in a firm that does things the right way and values its people.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you
