As a Financial Accountant, you'll be supporting clients with everything from daily banking to year-end accounts and management reports. You'll act as a trusted partner, helping creative and sporting professionals stay on top of their finances while you continue to grow your own career prospects in a supportive, forward-looking environment, offering fully funded study support.

If you're a practice professional that is AAT qualified or working towards ACCA or ACA (ICAEW), this could be the perfect place to level up your skills, gain exposure to fascinating clients, and enjoy a workplace that genuinely invests in you.

• Preparation of consolidated accounts for small, medium and Ltd companies

• Handle VAT and corporation tax returns with accuracy and insight

The Ideal Candidate

• AAT qualified or studying towards ACCA or ACA with previous experience of Financial Accounts / Year-end Accounts from within practice
• Confident using accounting software such as Xero, Sage, or QuickBooks
• Naturally organised with strong communication skills
• Curious, proactive, and eager to build long-term client relationships
