Job description

Are you an up-and-coming finance professional with recent experience in an accountancy practice? And would you fit well into a friendly, professional, and sociable team environment? This could be just the role for you…

1. Working with a client portfolio of sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies
2. Year-end accounts preparation
3. Tax return preparation
4. VAT and bookkeeping

This role would suit an AAT qualified candidate or similar, though my client is happy to consider applicants without formal qualifications.
