A Practice Accountant is needed to join Torevell Dent, a well-established and highly respected accountancy firm based in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Whether you're fully qualified, part-qualified, or have strong hands-on experience from a practice environment, this is a brilliant opportunity to step into a long-term role with great variety, support, and stability.

With over 40 years of experience and a loyal client base across a range of sectors, Torevell Dent has built a reputation for personalised service, quality advice, and a genuinely friendly approach. If you’re an Accountant looking to grow your career in a supportive, down-to-earth team, this could be the ideal next step.

As an Accountant in this small but busy practice, you’ll take responsibility for a broad portfolio of SME clients. Depending on your experience, you’ll be given autonomy to handle everything from accounts prep and tax returns, to building direct client relationships and contributing to audit work (if relevant).

What you’ll be doing:

• Preparing year-end statutory accounts and management accounts
• Handling VAT returns, corporation tax, and personal tax computations
• Supporting clients directly – answering queries, offering advice, and building rapport
• Contributing to audit assignments if experienced/interested
• Reviewing junior team members’ work and providing guidance (depending on level)
• Managing your own workflow and deadlines independently

What we’re looking for:

You might be an experienced Semi Senior Accountant, a developing Accounts Assistant ready for a step up, or a steady Senior Accountant looking for a more personal working environment. Either way, you should bring:

• At least 5 years' experience working in a UK accountancy practice
• Strong knowledge of accounts preparation and tax
• Audit experience – beneficial, but not essential
• Part-qualified, fully qualified, or qualified by experience – all welcome
• A confident, personable manner and a positive, proactive approach
• Great time management and attention to detail
• Familiarity with accountancy software such as QuickBooks, Sage, or CCH
• Driving Licence (for client meetings etc.)

Naturally, you’ll be provided with all the tools to succeed, along with support from an amazing team delivering a first class service to a diverse collection of SME clients.
