Accounts Semi Senior, Charities in Taunton

We are looking for a colleague to join our growing Charities team, ideally to be based in our largest office in Taunton, however we are open to discussions around location. We have a specific expertise in the charity/not-for-profit sector and are increasing an already large client base in this area. We are therefore looking for a part-qualified Accounts Semi Senior to join us on either a full or part time basis. Our clients range from air ambulance charities to zoos, to small charities working in eliminating ocean waste – from large trading charities generating income in excess of £15m, to small charities just starting up needing our advice and help. The range is huge, but they all have one thing in common – they are driven to provide the best for their beneficiaries, and we get to be part of that.

Responsibilities

• Assisting in the preparation of accounts for our charity clients.
• Leading on small or medium sized assignments and assisting on larger ones.
• Providing a friendly and professional service.

It is the ideal role for those looking for progression, who want to enjoy their job in a bright and challenging environment! You’ll get a variety of work, development opportunities, and above all the chance to build relationships with clients who truly care about what they do. Working with charities means you’re working with cause driven individuals and can really make a difference.

What we need from you

• Be ACA or ACCA qualified, or AAT qualified as a minimum.
• Have an interest in the charities sector and ideally experience of working with them.
• Be a confident and collaborative team player with experience of coaching or leading others.
• Have a record of delivering outstanding customer service to clients and inspiring others to do the same.
• Have the drive and ambition to grow and succeed.

We understand that not everyone will come with these exact requirements. If your experience isn’t a complete match but you feel you could bring a lot to AG, we’d still encourage you to apply so that we can learn more about you!

What we can give you in return

• A minimum of 25 days holiday which increases with length of service. Plus the option to buy and sell holiday.
• An annual salary review.
• Payment of any professional subscriptions relevant to your role.
• Life assurance, which includes access to a smart health app.
• An employee assistance programme for you and your family.
• One volunteering day per year.
• Cinema Society discounts.
• GymFlex discounts.
