As we continue to grow, we're looking for another talented Accountant who shares that approach. The Opportunity This is an all-round practice role with plenty of variety and ownership. You'll manage a portfolio of clients across different sectors and business structures, preparing accounts and supporting their tax and wider accounting requirements while developing strong, trusted relationships. We'd particularly like to hear from Accountants currently working within a small or medium-sized practice, where you've gained broad exposure rather than being restricted to one narrow area. And if you're ambitious, there's scope to go further. We want someone who can increasingly take ownership of their client base, welcome new clients into the practice from their initial enquiry and help develop those relationships over the longer term. It's an opportunity to become a genuine part of the continued growth of the practice rather than simply inherit a list of accounts to process. What You'll Be Doing • Prepare and finalise FRS 105 and FRS 102 accounts. • Manage accounting requirements across a varied portfolio of individuals, partnerships and limited companies. • Support corporate and personal taxation requirements. • Work confidently across VAT, CIS and PAYE. • Build strong relationships and become a trusted point of contact for your clients. • Use financial information to provide useful, practical support and guidance. • Work across systems including QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, FreeAgent and Digita. • Maintain accurate client records and ensure deadlines and compliance requirements are met. • Take increasing ownership of new clients from initial contact and onboarding through to ongoing account management. • Identify opportunities to strengthen and expand client relationships as your portfolio develops. About You You'll already understand life within an accountancy practice and enjoy the breadth and client contact that comes with working in a smaller firm. You're technically capable, but you don't want your career to be limited to sitting behind a spreadsheet. You enjoy getting to know clients, understanding their businesses and taking responsibility for delivering a great service. You'll ideally bring: • At least 3 years' current/recent accountancy practice experience in an Accountant role. • Broad, all-round experience gained within a small or medium-sized accountancy practice. • AAT Level 4, or be currently studying towards ACCA. • QBE candidates will also be considered where you can demonstrate the required technical knowledge and experience. • Experience producing finalised FRS 102 and FRS 105 accounts. • Good knowledge of corporate and personal taxation. • Working knowledge of VAT, CIS and PAYE. • Confidence managing and developing client relationships. • Experience with accounting platforms such as Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, FreeAgent or Digita. • Strong organisation, accuracy and attention to detail. • The ambition to take greater ownership of a client portfolio and contribute to the growth of the practice. Advanced Excel and previous Digita experience would be advantageous. Why Join Us? This is a chance to build your career within a successful independent accountancy practice where you'll be known by your clients and have genuine ownership of the work you do. You'll enjoy: • Salary of £42,000 - £48,000 DOE. • Hybrid working with a 60/40 office-to-home split. • 33 days' holiday. • Company pension. • Onsite parking. • A varied portfolio of owner-managed businesses and individual clients. • Genuine client ownership rather than a narrowly defined accounts role. • The opportunity to develop alongside a growing practice. • Scope to become increasingly involved in new client relationships and portfolio growth. Your Experience / Background / Previous Roles May Include Practice Accountant, Accounts Senior, Senior Accountant, Client Accountant, Portfolio Accountant, Accounts & Tax Senior, Semi Senior Accountant, ACCA Trainee, AAT Accountant, Client Manager or Practice Accounts Senior. Ready for More Ownership? If you're an experienced Practice Accountant looking for the opportunity to combine technical accounting, client relationships and genuine portfolio ownership, we'd love to hear from you. Bring your practice experience, your ambition and your ability to build trusted client relationships, and grow your career within a successful independent accountancy practice. Apply now.
