The Opportunity

Looking for an accountancy role where you can build your skills, develop genuine client relationships and take the next step in your career?

We’re delighted to be supporting a long establish Sheffield firm in their search for a Semi-Senior Accountant to join their friendly and supportive team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with around 2–5 years’ experience in accountancy practice who is ready for more responsibility, the opportunity to manage their own portfolio of clients and the chance to continue developing their technical skills.

You’ll work with a varied client portfolio, building relationships with the businesses you support and becoming a trusted point of contact as you help them manage their accounting requirements.

And here's the important bit: this isn’t about having experience in one particular industry. We are looking for someone whose personality, approach to clients and way of working will complement the existing team.

If you're personable, curious, organised and enjoy working with people as much as you enjoy the numbers, this could be a great next move.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Managing your own portfolio of clients, building strong working relationships and understanding their individual requirements.
• Preparing management and year-end accounts and supporting statutory accounts work for a range of businesses.
• Assisting with VAT returns and other accounting and compliance requirements.
• Responding to client queries and providing a helpful, professional service.
• Managing deadlines and ensuring work is completed accurately and efficiently.
• Working closely with colleagues and senior team members to review work, resolve queries and deliver the best outcomes for clients.
• Developing your technical knowledge and taking on increasing responsibility as your experience grows.
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and making the most of the systems and support available to you.

What We’re Looking For

• Around 2–5 years’ experience working within an accountancy practice.
• AAT qualified or part-qualified, ideally studying towards ACCA.
• Practical experience of accounts preparation and a good understanding of accounting principles.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing deadlines.
• Excellent communication skills and a genuine enjoyment of working with clients.
• A proactive, conscientious approach, with good attention to detail.
• Someone who is keen to learn, develop and build their career.

Your personality matters. We’re looking for someone who will fit naturally into the team, build rapport with clients and take pride in the quality of their work. Experience with a particular client industry is less important than your approach, attitude and willingness to develop.

The Rewards & Benefits

Alongside joining a lovely, supportive team, you’ll benefit from:

• A competitive salary, depending on experience.
• Flexible working hours to help you balance work and life outside the office.
• Free parking.
• Hybrid working opportunities after six months.
• Study support to help you progress with your professional qualifications.
• Genuine opportunities for career progression and development.
• The opportunity to manage your own client portfolio and develop lasting relationships.
• A friendly, collaborative working environment where you’ll feel supported as you grow.

Interested?

If you're looking for a role where you can develop your accounting career, build strong client relationships and be part of a team that values the person behind the qualification, we’d love to hear from you.
