Job description

If you're ready for a role that finally gives you room to grow, this Accounts Semi-Senior opportunity in Milton Keynes could be the step forward you've been waiting for. Here, you'll join a friendly, supportive environment where your ideas matter and your work makes a real difference to the clients you look after.

Maybe you've gained solid experience preparing accounts and tax returns, but you want more variety, more trust, and more genuine progression than your current role offers. Or perhaps you're studying and eager to be somewhere that backs your development, rather than simply expecting you to get on with it.

As an Accounts Semi-Senior, you'll build relationships, gain exposure to a wide mix of assignments, and enjoy the flexibility to balance work and life in a way that feels sustainable. If you're looking for a place where you can develop your skills, strengthen your advisory capabilities, and progress with confidence, this could be an ideal next move.

Responsibilities

• Prepare statutory accounts, corporation tax returns, self-assessment returns and P11Ds.
• Produce monthly and quarterly management accounts.
• Prepare real-time capital gains tax reports.
• Meet with clients regularly and identify tax planning opportunities.
• Manage multiple assignments and ensure deadlines are met.
• Support managers with ad hoc work that enhances client value.

What we are looking for

• AAT qualified and studying towards ACCA or ACA.
• Experience within a UK accountancy practice.
• Confident using Xero or similar cloud-based systems.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• Comfortable communicating with clients and developing long-term relationships.
• Accurate, proactive and able to work with minimal supervision.

What's on Offer

• Salary £38,000 to £42,000.
• Hybrid working with 3 days in the office and 2 from home.
• Flexitime and a supportive, people-focused culture.
• Private medical insurance, pension and free parking.
• Health Assured programme, sick pay and enhanced maternity leave.
• Bonus scheme and genuine scope for progression.
• Study support package provided upon completion of probation.
