• Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts for limited companies.
• Preparing and reviewing corporation tax returns.
• Acting as the main point of contact for clients, providing practical commercial advice.
• Reviewing the work of junior team members and supporting their technical development.
• Identifying opportunities to improve client service and deliver additional advisory support.

What's on Offer

• £72,000 - £78,000 depending on experience.
• Hybrid and flexible working.
• Genuine opportunities for progression as the firm continues to expand.
• Direct access to the Partners and involvement in strategic decision-making.
• A varied and loyal client portfolio with plenty of autonomy.
• A supportive, collaborative culture where high performance is recognised and rewarded.
• Long-term career prospects within a successful and growing independent practice.
