Job description

Our client is a well-established firm of accountants based in Fife. Due to practice development, a position has arisen for an experienced Accounts Assistant.

The role requires someone with a general practice background who enjoys handling accounts preparation (preferably to final accounts) and a variety of ad hoc assignments arising for a mixed client portfolio. There is the opportunity of dealing with MTD, if that would be of interest also. You will have experience of effective communication internally and externally and of reporting at partner level. You should enjoy client liaison and relish a challenge. Sage experience helps, but is not essential.

Candidates must have UK experience in professional accounting practice and an ability to work with minimum supervision. Although candidates from elsewhere in the UK will be considered, an understanding of small businesses in east-central Scotland, and the Central Belt will be a considerable advantage.

This position is full-time in-house with a really great team.
