Senior Accountant\n Cardiff £55,000-£65,000 \n Some firms talk endlessly about career development while quietly hoping nobody above you ever leaves. This one is actively creating room. A successful independent accountancy firm is expanding following further investment into an already highly profitable business. Growth has been consistent, client retention is strong and many employees have spent more than a decade with the firm. The Senior Accountant appointment is aimed at somebody who has developed solid technical experience but now wants broader responsibility and a genuine route into client management. Based in Cardiff, you'll work closely with experienced managers and directors across a portfolio of privately owned businesses. The role\n\n • Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts\n, • Taking greater ownership of jobs from start to finish\n, • Supporting corporation tax and wider compliance work\n, • Reviewing work produced by less experienced colleagues\n, • Dealing directly with business owners and finance teams\n, • Joining client meetings and building your own relationships\n, • Helping identify issues before they become problems\n, • Supporting managers across larger or more involved clients\n\n The firm is relationship-driven and intentionally operates through face-to-face contact with clients. That gives the Senior Accountant considerably more exposure than roles where most client interaction has gradually become a chain of emails and Teams calls. You'll need recent experience from a UK accountancy practice, with a strong grounding in accounts preparation and ideally some reviewing or supervisory exposure. ACA or ACCA qualification would be useful, although strong qualified-by-experience candidates will also be considered. Where it can lead\n The intention isn't to recruit someone simply to produce more accounts. As you prove yourself, the Senior Accountant will take on greater portfolio ownership, more client meetings and increasing responsibility for reviewing and developing others. The Cardiff team has a strong record of retaining people and creating progression internally, and continued investment is opening further opportunities at manager level and above. Package\n\n • £55,000-£65,000\n, • Strong route into client management\n, • High-quality SME and owner-managed business portfolio\n, • Direct access to senior people\n, • Increasing review and advisory exposure\n, • Stable and experienced team\n, • Investment behind the next stage of growth\n\n For a Senior Accountant who likes the stability of an established firm but doesn't want their career to become too comfortable, this is a particularly strong opportunity within accountancy.

Experienced Senior Accountant \n Cardiff £50,000-£60,000 Hybrid Working Permanent \n There are plenty of Senior Accountant roles that offer more of the same. This one has been created because a successful independent firm is actively building its next generation of managers. \n The business is profitable, growing and investing in its people, with succession planning already creating opportunities for ambitious staff to take on more responsibility. It also has unusually strong retention, with a number of people having built careers of ten years or more within the firm. \n The Experienced Senior Accountant will join an established Cardiff team working with owner-managed businesses across a broad range of sectors. \n Hybrid working is available, alongside regular face-to-face client exposure. The balance is designed to give people flexibility without losing the relationships and development that come from actually spending time with clients and senior colleagues. \n What you'll be doing \n\n • Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts\n, • Taking ownership of assignments from start to finish\n, • Working directly with business owners and finance teams\n, • Supporting corporation tax compliance\n, • Preparing management accounts where required\n, • Reviewing work completed by trainees and junior staff\n, • Resolving accounting queries with clients\n, • Attending client meetings alongside Managers and Directors\n, • Gradually taking greater responsibility for your own portfolio\n\n The Experienced Senior Accountant should already have solid experience within a UK accountancy environment and be comfortable preparing accounts with limited supervision. \n ACA or ACCA qualification would be useful, although strong part-qualified and qualified-by-experience candidates will also be considered. \n Why consider it? \n The firm is not recruiting because of staff turnover. Continued growth and succession planning mean it needs more people capable of progressing through the business. \n That creates genuine headroom. \n The Experienced Senior Accountant can develop towards Client Manager and beyond, supported by experienced senior people who are actively looking to delegate responsibility rather than protect their territory until retirement. \n What's on offer \n\n • £50,000-£60,000\n, • Hybrid working\n, • Strong progression towards Manager\n, • Established owner-managed business portfolio\n, • Regular client exposure\n, • Direct access to Managers and Directors\n, • Investment in training and development\n, • Long-serving, experienced team\n, • Genuine succession opportunities\n\n For somebody looking to build a longer-term career in Cardiff rather than make another sideways move within accountancy, this offers a strong combination of flexibility, responsibility and progression.

Senior Accountant - Accountancy Practice \n Cardiff \n £52,000-£62,000 \n Hybrid Working Permanent \n What would make your next move genuinely worthwhile? \n More client responsibility? A clearer route into management? Better exposure to senior people? Enough flexibility to still have a life outside work? \n A successful independent firm is looking for a Senior Accountant - Accountancy Practice as part of a wider investment into its future leadership team. \n This is an established, profitable business rather than a start-up dressed in expensive language about "growth". It already has strong clients, experienced people and excellent staff retention. The investment now is about adding capacity and making sure there is a proper succession plan beneath the existing leadership team. \n Based in Cardiff, you'll work with entrepreneurial businesses ranging from start-ups through to established owner-managed companies. \n The role \n The Senior Accountant - Accountancy Practice will have considerably more client exposure than a traditional accounts-production position. \n You'll be involved in: \n\n • Preparing statutory accounts and associated working papers\n, • Reviewing straightforward accounts prepared by junior colleagues\n, • Managing jobs and keeping clients updated\n, • Handling day-to-day accounting queries\n, • Supporting year-end tax work\n, • Attending meetings with business owners\n, • Developing an understanding of clients beyond their year-end numbers\n, • Supporting Managers across larger portfolios\n, • Taking increasing ownership as your experience develops\n\n Hybrid working forms part of the proposition, while maintaining the regular face-to-face contact that has helped the firm build particularly strong client relationships. \n What they're looking for \n You'll need recent experience within a UK firm and a solid grounding in accounts preparation. \n You may already be ACA or ACCA qualified, approaching qualification or have developed equivalent experience without following the traditional qualification route. \n More important is the ability to communicate properly with clients. \n The firm wants someone who can eventually sit opposite a business owner, understand the issue they are raising and explain the answer without disappearing behind technical jargon. \n What's on offer \n\n • £52,000-£62,000\n, • Clear progression into client management\n, • Broad owner-managed business exposure\n, • Increasing portfolio responsibility\n, • Support from experienced senior professionals\n, • Strong client-facing development\n, • Highly profitable independent business\n, • Genuine long-term career opportunity\n\n For an ambitious Senior Accountant looking for more than another year of producing accounts, this is a chance to join a progressive Cardiff firm at a point where growth and succession are creating real opportunities.
