Are you an experienced Senior Accountant looking for a new opportunity within a flexible and supportive accountancy practice?
Castle Employment is working with an established and forward-thinking accountancy practice that is looking to recruit a Senior Accountant to join its growing accounts team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys preparing and finalising year-end accounts, managing client relationships and taking ownership of their workload.
The firm offers a genuinely flexible working environment, with remote working available for experienced candidates. With approachable Partners, a relaxed culture and a strong focus on work-life balance, this could be a great next step for someone looking for more independence in their career.

The RoleAs a Senior Accountant, your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing, reviewing and finalising year-end accounts for a varied portfolio of clients, including limited companies, sole traders and partnerships.
• Managing accounts preparation from trial balance through to completion.
• Preparing and reviewing corporation tax computations, ensuring compliance with HMRC requirements.
• Managing client queries and providing accounting and tax-related guidance.
• Taking ownership of accounts production, ensuring work is completed accurately and within deadlines.
• Reviewing work completed by junior accountants and providing support where required.
• Liaising directly with clients and building strong, long-term working relationships.
