About Us :

A fantastic opportunity for a qualified chartered / certified accountant or someone qualified by experience with drive and enthusiasm to join a team that is dedicated to helping clients achieve their personal and business objectives.

Townends is a long established Yorkshire firm that specialises in providing everything that the owner managed business needs. We have a full range of services aimed at such businesses, including Wealth Management.

About the Role :

This is a senior role in the accounts department based in Goole, managing a portfolio of clients and working closely with team members to manage the department generally. The work primarily involves the delivery of a wide range of timely, high quality accounts and tax compliance assignments for clients (including a significant number within the farming industry). The role also requires supervision and mentoring of trainees.

Whilst the focus is on compliance, there are also many opportunities to significantly expand the range and breadth of experience through direct engagement with clients, attending and leading meetings, adhoc projects and working as part of a team to deliver a proactive service. No two days are the same.

• Competitive salary - depending on skills and experience

• Modern and friendly working environment
• Convenient office location with easily accessible car parking nearby (currently free of charge)
