Job description

Semi-Senior Accountant | Dunstable | £30,000 – £40,000 | Permanent, Full-Time

Ready for a practice role with genuine variety—where no two jobs look quite the same and you're trusted to get stuck in across the board?

We're recruiting a Semi-Senior Accountant for a friendly, well-established accountancy practice in Dunstable. This is a broad, hands-on seat working across a mixed client base — accounts, tax and everything in between — so it'll suit someone who likes variety rather than being boxed into one discipline. You'll have an experienced team around you and real study support to keep progressing.

If you enjoy switching between the numbers and the detail, building relationships with clients, and picking up new things as you go, you'll do well here.

What you'll be doing

• Preparing year-end accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
• Preparing personal and corporate tax computations and returns
• Handling VAT returns and general compliance across your clients
• Getting involved in bookkeeping and management information where needed
• Being a helpful, day-to-day point of contact for clients and their queries
• Keeping your jobs on track against deadlines and budgets

What you'll bring

• Practice experience across accounts and tax — variety is the point
• Studying towards ATT, AAT, ACCA or ACA (or ready to start) — full study support provided
• A solid grounding in compliance and a keen eye for detail
• Confident on cloud accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks or Sage)
• Well-organised, accurate and happy juggling a mixed workload

What's on offer

£30,000 – £40,000 depending on experience, plus full study support, 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, a company pension and a good benefits scheme — in a practice that will give you real breadth rather than pushing you down one route.
