Senior Accountant | Manchester or Liverpool based (Hybrid – 2+ days office) | Up to £36,000

Are you the kind of accountant who loves helping their clients and watching their business grow?

At Accounts and Legal, we’re focused on what it means to be an accountant in a competitive business environment. We don’t just do end of year accounts, we help business owners understand their numbers, make smart decisions, and grow with confidence.

We’re looking for a Senior Accountant to join our Manchester or Liverpool team – someone who’s commercially sharp, emotionally intelligent, and thrives on helping clients succeed.

What You’ll Do

• Prepare year-end accounts for review
• Prepare VAT returns and send Loom videos to clients to explain them
• Contribute to client quarterly catch-up calls
• Proactively monitor client performance and stay in regular contact to offer forward-looking advice, not just reactive support
• Prepare/contribute to management account prep.
• Act as the primary advisor to a portfolio of clients — understanding their goals, challenges, and delivering tailored solutions
• Report to an Assistant Manager and have involvement in team profitability
• Identify new opportunities for clients to improve efficiency, increase profitability, and reduce risk — and guide them through implementation
• Answer technical bookkeeping questions from both clients and other members of staff

What You’ll Bring

• ACA/ACCA qualified, part-qualified, or QBE with solid practice experience (at least 4 years)
• A commercial mindset and great communication skills
• The ability to turn financial data into business advice clients actually understand
• Experience using Xero, Dext (and love for all things cloud-based, we embrace technology that makes our clients lives easier as we understand the time pressures of running a business)

Why Join Us

• Hybrid working (min. 2 days in our Manchester or Liverpool office)
• 4.5 day working week (Friday 1pm finish every week!)
• Salary up to £36,000 DOE
• Career growth in a firm that values personality as much as professionalism
• Supportive, forward-thinking culture where your ideas make an impact
• Weekly firm led training sessions to help you grow and progress in your role and develop to the next role within the firm

We’re not your typical accountants — and we’re proud of that.
