Job description

You’ll prepare accounts and tax work independently, working across a portfolio of clients with support from senior colleagues. This is a great next step for someone with 2–5 years’ experience looking to build genuine ownership over client work while continuing to develop towards leading a team and a portfolio of clients.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• A natural communicator – comfortable explaining financial information clearly to clients and colleagues alike, and building the kind of rapport that turns routine contact into real client confidence
• Analytically sharp – able to interpret statutory accounts and business data and turn them into concise, informative management accounts that clients can act on
• A rounded adviser – capable of looking beyond a single return to a client’s whole financial and tax position (corporate, personal, and family) and advising accordingly
• Quick to adopt new technology – genuinely curious about technical innovation in accountancy and comfortable bringing new tools and accounting practices into everyday work

What You’ll Be Doing

• Preparing statutory accounts to a standard level, and interpreting them to produce concise, informative management accounts
• Preparing corporation tax and personal tax returns
• Preparing VAT returns
• Reviewing bookkeeping and payroll work
• Advising clients across their whole financial and tax position – corporate, personal, and family
• Assisting with client relationships and, occasionally, leading client meetings
• Supporting the team with delegated work and occasional training of junior staff
• Contributing to AML/compliance administration and process improvement, including adopting new technical tools and cloud accounting practices

About You

Experience: 2–5 years in a similar accountancy practice role

Qualifications: AAT qualified, or ACA/ACCA part-qualified

Skills & knowledge

• Competent in financial statements, management accounts, corporation tax, personal tax, VAT, and tax advisory
• Competent in bookkeeping, audit support, and corporate finance/business advisory work
• Understanding of payroll and company secretarial work, with compliance services experience
• Intermediate Excel skills and confidence with cloud accounting software, with a genuine interest in adopting new technical tools

You’ll thrive here if you have:

• Excellent communication skills and a natural ability to build client confidence
• Strong attention to detail
• A collaborative approach and the initiative to take on more responsibility over time
• A methodical, analytical approach to problem-solving, with an eye for the bigger picture across a client’s business and finances
