A modern, dynamic accountancy practice is recruiting for a Senior Accountant to join its growing team.

This role is predominantly office based; however, an element of hybrid and flexible working will be available once settled in.

As Senior Accountant your responsibilities will include:
- Portfolio Management: Manage files from start to finish, preparing and reviewing statutory accounts (FRS 102 Section 1A) for limited companies, sole traders, and partnerships.
- Taxation: Prepare corporation tax computations, self-assessment tax returns, and handle VAT returns/advisory.
- Client Relations: Build strong, proactive relationships and manage expectations seamlessly.
- Team Leadership: Mentor and support the development of junior team members, leading by example on quality and service.
- Practice Growth: Stay ahead of regulatory changes (including MTD for Income Tax) and identify value-add opportunities for clients.
Requirements:
- Be a fully qualified member ACCA, ACA, or CIMA.
- Minimum of 5 years experience within a UK accountancy practice.
- Strong year-end accounts preparation and confident handling of corporation tax, self-assessment, and VAT.
- Ability to manage a portfolio with minimal supervision and deliver files ready for partner review.
- Clear, professional communication skills with both clients and colleagues.
- Experience with cloud-based accounting packages and ideally, practice management software.
- Familiarity with MTD for Income Tax.
- Exposure to SEIS/EIS, director loan accounts, and s455 tax.

This includes those currently on a student or graduate visa. Additionally, candidates must have experience gained within UK accountancy practice. We stipulate these criteria due to the high volume of applications from outside of the UK.
Due to the high volume of applications we receive it is not always possible to respond to unsuccessful applicants. Therefore, if we have not responded to your application within five days please assume that on this occasion your application has not been successful.
