Job description

Audit & Accounts Senior - Hybrid - £40,000-£60,000 (Essex)

Join a genuinely supportive, down-to-earth firm where you can grow your career without losing your sanity.

Are you an Audit & Accounts Senior who enjoys a proper mix of work, wants flexibility without the corporate nonsense, and likes being part of a happy, supportive team? This could be exactly what you're after.

The Role

You'll work across a 50/50 blend of audit and accounts, covering a wonderfully varied portfolio across many industries. Most audits are straightforward, with the occasional group thrown in for good measure. On the accounts side, you'll handle some of the more interesting and complex jobs, including a couple of consolidated sets that will keep things nicely challenging.

You'll use CCH for accounts production and MyWorkpapers for audit, working closely with Managers and Directors who are approachable, hands-on, and keen to help you progress.

The firm has two opportunities available:

• A progressive route; perfect for someone who's hungry for development and wants to push toward management and beyond.
• A stable, rewarding career-senior role, ideal if you enjoy the senior level and want to keep doing what you do best in a supportive, relaxed environment.

Why You'll Love Working Here

This firm is refreshingly normal: no egos, no office politics, no stuffy rules. Just good people doing good work. They're known for being flexible, friendly, and genuinely supportive. The team is around 45 strong, close-knit, and full of people who actually enjoy working together.

You'll get:

• A hybrid setup: typically 2-3 days in the office each week
• Flexible working within the standard Mon-Fri, 9am-5.30pm structure
• Exposure to a broad, varied and interesting client base
• A happy, welcoming team culture where people look out for each other
• The chance to shape your career in the direction that suits you

What You'll Need

• Ideally ACA or ACCA qualified, but finalists and strong QBE candidates are absolutely welcome
• Solid experience across both audit and accounts
• Confidence in working directly with clients and supporting juniors where needed
• A collaborative mindset, they're not a big-ego environment

Some travel to client sites is part of the role, but nothing excessive or soul-crushing.

Interested?

If you're looking for a firm that's relaxed but professional, ambitious but supportive, and genuinely prioritises its people, you're in the right place. Whether you want a stepping stone into management or a stable, enjoyable senior role, both paths are open here.
