Overview

The firm has been at the forefront of cloud-based accountancy technology and has partnered with Xero from the early stages, serving a client base that includes national and international businesses.

As part of an ambitious expansion program, the firm is seeking to recruit a new team of driven, career-focused Semi Seniors/ Assistant Client Managers to work closely with diverse client portfolios. In this role you will be much more than an accountant, acting as a trusted advisor to clients and getting involved in commercial and financial aspects at a granular level.

You will gain experience beyond traditional accounting, including business management and operations, working cohesively with clients to help them achieve short- and long-term business aims.

Responsibilities

• Act as a trusted advisor to clients and engage in commercial and financial aspects at a granular level.
• Work closely with diverse client portfolios as part of an expanding team.
• Contribute to the firm’s growth and client service through hands-on involvement in business management and operations.

Qualifications

You will likely be currently employed at a traditional accountancy practice with sound knowledge and experience in:

• General bookkeeping, final accounts preparation, VAT returns, tax returns, and management accounts.
• Experience with Sage Line 50, Iris, and ideally cloud-based systems such as Xero.

Rewards

You will gain exceptional accountancy and business knowledge in a financially rewarding and progressive career within a company that values its people. Benefits include flexible working hours, study support, mentoring and coaching, bonus structures, and other rewards and perks, making this a compelling opportunity in the Essex/London area.
