Job description

Variety is the spice of life, and that certainly applies to this busy role in a rapidly growing accountancy practice. Working in modern offices, you will work with a diverse set of clients with a remit to include client payroll, bookkeeping, administration, and whatever else needs doing...

Your key duties will include:

• End to end management of the payroll bureau, to include year end responsibilities, RTI reporting and auto enrolment
• Bookkeeping and management accounting for a varied portfolio of clients
• VAT return preparation
• Liaising with HMRC
• Extensive client contact
• General administration as required

This role would suit a candidate with a very strong background in payroll and bookkeeping, ideally with prior experience in a multiple client environment. AAT qualifications would be beneficial but are less important than the experience that you can bring to the role.

In exchange my client offers a professional and modern working environment, flexible working options, opportunities for personal and career development, and a competitive salary and benefits package.

If this sounds like the role for you, I want to hear from you. Please call Jay Vilarrubi-Smithfor further details or apply quoting job reference JVS10584.
