The Role

VANRATH are delighted to be partnering with a well-established and rapidly growing independent accountancy practice in Bangor to recruit a Part-Time Senior Accounts Professional.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced practice professional who is looking for a flexible, part-time position within a genuinely supportive and close-knit team.
While a full professional qualification would be welcomed, our client is equally happy to consider a highly experienced part-qualified accountant or senior accounts technician who has strong practice experience and, importantly, the ability to independently review accounts.

The successful candidate will join a growing business where culture is incredibly important, with a friendly, family-like environment and a strong focus on supporting its people.

What You Will Do

• Prepare and review year-end accounts for a varied portfolio of SME clients.
• Independently review accounts prepared by colleagues, ensuring accuracy and quality.
• Identify and resolve accounting issues before accounts are finalised.
• Prepare accounts from incomplete or client-generated records where required.
• Manage a portfolio of clients and build strong, long-term relationships.
• Deal with client queries and provide practical accounting advice.
• Support colleagues with more technical accounting matters.
• Contribute to the continued growth and development of the practice.

What's in It for You?

• Part-time working hours to suit your circumstances.
• Competitive and generous salary package.
• Company sick pay.
• Modern offices in Bangor town centre.
• Friendly, supportive and family-like working environment.
• Excellent work-life balance.
• Opportunity to join a practice experiencing significant month-on-month growth.
• A role where your experience and judgement will genuinely be valued.

Requirements

• Qualified, part-qualified or an experienced AAT/IATI-level accounts professional.
• Strong previous experience within an accountancy practice.
• Significant experience preparing accounts for a portfolio of SME clients.
• Proven ability to review accounts independently is essential.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge and attention to detail.
• Confident dealing directly with clients.
• Ability to work independently while also contributing positively to a close-knit team.
• A professional qualification is desirable but is not essential for the right candidate.
• Experience supervising or reviewing the work of others would be advantageous.
