Job description

Our excellent client local to Stroud is currently looking for a Senior Tax Accountant to join their friendly team on a permanent basis as they experience growth. The company provides regular and monthly accounting, payroll, and tax services to a variety of clients from small sole traders through to large international companies.

Hours: Monday – Friday – Full or part time available and flexibility on start/finish times

Salary: £45,000 - £65,000 per annum + benefits including:

• BUPA Healthcare (private medical insurance)
• 28 days holiday (increasing by 1 day per year)
• Opportunity to progress up to board/director level if desired

Exciting new opportunity for a long-established, highly respected accountancy practice based near Stroud. This is a friendly, close-knit team where you’ll be supported by the Directors and your colleagues, while having the autonomy to develop your skills, manage your own clients and take ownership of projects.

The Director also operates additional businesses that you can get involved with if you’re keen to broaden your experience but absolutely no pressure if you’d prefer to stay focused on core practice work. As you grow, the Director is more than happy to hand over project responsibilities (with pay increases to match), and longer-term progression right up to Director/board level is very much on the table for those who want it.

The practice is committed to rewarding people properly for their contribution. You can expect fair, regular pay reviews, long term bonus opportunities and genuine investment in your development, including support for further finance qualifications.

The team primarily works from the office to maintain strong collaboration, especially in a small practice environment. However, once you’re settled and confident in your role, there is scope for occasional work-from-home flexibility where it makes sense.

Benefits include free parking, flexible hours, BUPA, 28 days’ holiday (rising by one day per year to 31), and clear pathways to progression – whether that’s stepping into wider business projects or working towards Director level. Both full-time and part-time applicants will be considered.

Responsibilities

• Prepare year end statutory accounts for review, including all reconciliations/returns (non-audit).
• Offer tax advice to partnerships/companies/individuals including year-end computations and returns.
• Charity accounts & returns.
• Capital gains support.
• Review of management and statutory accounts produced by other team members.
• Maintain regular contact with clients over the phone, email and face-to-face when necessary.
• Prepare traditional accounts (e.g. incomplete records or “shoebox” jobs).
• General management tasks alongside senior colleagues.
• New business development & maintenance of customer relations.
• Prepare ongoing management and financial accounts, including VAT and standard reconciliations for a select number of Clients.

Key Attributes

• Strong accounts experience including knowledge of sole trader and personal tax.
• ACCA or equivalent accounting qualification.
• Friendly, team player.
• Computer literate with good Excel skills.
