Job description

Senior Accountant - Confidential Opportunity - £42,000 - £50,000

ACA/ACCA qualified and considering your next move in practice?

I'm currently recruiting for a Senior Accountant position with a growing mid-tier accountancy and business advisory firm.

This is a role for someone who wants to move beyond simply preparing accounts and become a trusted adviser to their clients. You'll work with a varied portfolio of businesses, build meaningful client relationships and have the opportunity to develop your commercial and leadership skills.

The opportunity

You’ll work closely with Managers and Directors, taking responsibility for a broad range of client work, including:

• Preparing year-end financial statements
• Calculating corporation and personal tax liabilities
• Identifying tax planning opportunities
• Advising clients on accounting processes and ways to improve efficiency
• Managing and developing long-term client relationships
• Working collaboratively with colleagues across the wider business
• Coaching and supporting accounts trainees

The variety of the client base means you'll get exposure to different businesses and challenges, making this a great opportunity for someone who enjoys understanding how businesses operate rather than simply completing the numbers.

Who would suit this role?

The ideal candidate will be:

• ACA or ACCA qualified
• Experienced within an accountancy practice
• Comfortable working with a varied portfolio, including owner-managed businesses
• Confident communicating directly with clients
• Commercially minded and interested in providing advice, not just compliance
• Keen to develop their leadership skills and support more junior colleagues
• Technically strong and comfortable with accounting technology; CCH experience would be beneficial

The culture

One of the key attractions of this opportunity is the culture.

The firm has built a collaborative environment where people are encouraged to share ideas, develop their skills and build strong relationships with both colleagues and clients. There is a genuine emphasis on learning and development, alongside a busy social and wellbeing calendar.

It's a good fit for someone who wants to work somewhere that combines the professionalism and client exposure of a rapidly growing firm with a friendly, sociable and people-focused environment.

The package also includes:

• Hybrid working
• Competitive salary
• Generous holiday allowance
• Learning and development opportunities
• Wellbeing support
• Volunteer day

If you're an experienced practice accountant looking for a role where you can strengthen your advisory skills, develop your leadership experience and build a long-term career.
