Job description

Not all accountancy practice roles offer the same client exposure, variety or opportunity to progress. This one is a little different.

Imagine working with a portfolio that includes successful businesses, high-value clients and complex group structures, alongside exposure to some very well-known names.

As an Accounts Senior or Supervisor, you'll have the opportunity to put your technical skills to good use, take ownership of your work and help develop less experienced colleagues, all within a progressive accountancy practice that genuinely invests in its people.

Whether you're an experienced Senior Associate ready for more responsibility or already operating at Supervisor level, there's flexibility to shape this opportunity around your experience and ambitions.

You'll be trusted to prepare complete sets of accounts independently, work with interesting and sometimes complex client structures and develop your supervisory skills in a supportive environment.

If you're looking for an Accounts Senior or Supervisor opportunity that offers more than the usual year-end accounts routine, this could be a career move worth exploring.

Role Overview

• Prepare full sets of statutory accounts independently for a varied portfolio of clients
• Work with high-value businesses and complex group structures, including groups with up to 20 companies
• Review accounts prepared by junior colleagues, providing guidance and support
• Prepare consolidated accounts, management accounts and corporation tax returns
• Build relationships with clients, understanding their businesses and financial requirements
• Work closely with Managers and Directors, with exposure to wider advisory and specialist services.

The Ideal Candidate

• Experience within an accountancy practice, confidently preparing complete sets of accounts without supervision
• Part-qualified, finalist or qualified ACA / ACCA, whether recently qualified or with several years' post-qualification experience.
• Comfortable reviewing the work of junior colleagues and helping them develop
• Experience with limited company accounts and an understanding of group accounting
• Familiarity with accounting software such as Xero, Sage, QuickBooks or IRIS
• A proactive approach, good communication skills and an interest in progressing your career.

What's on Offer

• £38,000 - £46,000 salary, dependent upon your qualifications and experience
• Fully funded ACA / ACCA study support, where required
• Hybrid working arrangements
• 24 days annual leave plus bank holidays, with additional leave for length of service
• Clear opportunities for career progression into management and beyond
• Enhanced pension contributions and healthcare benefits
• Ongoing professional training and development
• Relaxed dress code and parking available in Bromsgrove.
