Job description

Senior Accountant – Fully Remote

Up to £40,000 DOE | Fully Remote | Permanent | Full-Time

Are you an experienced Senior Accountant looking for a fully remote opportunity with a friendly, forward-thinking accountancy practice?

Castle Employment are working with an established, independent accountancy practice in Yorkshire who are looking to recruit a Senior Accountant to join their accounts team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with previous accountancy practice experience who enjoys managing their own workload, preparing year end accounts and working in a genuinely flexible environment where you’re trusted to get on with your job.

The Role

As a Senior Accountant, you'll be responsible for managing and progressing year end accounts for a varied portfolio of clients, working closely with the wider accounts team and Partners.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing, reviewing and finalising year-end accounts for limited companies, sole traders and partnerships.
• Preparing and reviewing corporation tax computations.
• Managing your own workload and ensuring accounts are completed within agreed deadlines.
• Acting as a point of contact for clients, handling queries and providing advice where required.
• Supporting and reviewing the work of more junior team members.
• Working closely with Partners and colleagues to ensure a high standard of client service.

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience working within an accountancy practice, ideally at Senior Accountant level.
• Strong experience preparing and finalising year-end accounts.
• Confidence working independently and managing multiple client deadlines.
• Good technical accounting knowledge and attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills and a proactive approach to client relationships.
• A willingness to support and develop junior colleagues.

Qualifications aren't essential! Whether you're AAT qualified, ACA/ACCA qualified, part-qualified or qualified by experience, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on Offer?

• Salary up to £40,000, depending on experience.
• Fully remote working with genuine flexibility.
• Standard hours of 9am-5pm Monday to Thursday and 8am-4pm Friday.
• Approximately 25 days' annual leave, subject to confirmation.
• Bonus scheme.
• Potential study support for those looking to continue their qualifications.
• A relaxed, supportive working environment with approachable Partners.
• Opportunities to get involved in team social events.

Why Join?

This isn't your typical traditional accountancy practice.

You'll be joining a business that genuinely values flexibility, autonomy and work-life balance. With approachable Partners, a relaxed culture and a supportive team, you'll have the freedom to manage your own workload without being micromanaged.

Despite being fully remote, you'll still feel part of the team, with regular communication and opportunities to get involved in company activities.

If you're an experienced practice accountant looking for a fully remote position where you can continue developing your career, we'd love to hear from you.
