We’re working with a well-established and growing firm of chartered accountants in Cheltenham who are looking to recruit an Audit Senior / Experienced Accountant to join their friendly team. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified, nearly qualified, or QBE accountant with solid audit experience who’s ready to take on more responsibility and lead client assignments. You’ll take a hands‑on role across a mixed portfolio of clients, handling both audit and accounts work.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading around 8 audits per year, usually on-site with one or two team members.
  • Preparing and reviewing accounts and tax returns for a range of clients.
  • Taking a lead role with certain clients, ensuring deadlines and quality standards are met.
  • Assisting and developing junior team members while maintaining strong client relationships.
  • You’ll have plenty of support from senior staff when needed, but we’re looking for someone confident enough to manage the basics independently — someone who can complete a set of accounts or lead an audit with minimal supervision.

About You

  • ACA / ACCA qualified, nearly qualified, or QBE with relevant practice experience.
  • Recent audit experience is essential.
  • Strong understanding of accounting and tax fundamentals.
  • Confident communicator with a proactive, professional approach.
  • Enjoys working both independently and as part of a team.

The Firm Offers

  • A supportive and collaborative working environment.
  • Exposure to a broad client base across multiple industries.
  • Ongoing professional development and study support (if applicable).
  • Competitive salary and flexible working arrangements.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a respected Cheltenham firm where you can take ownership of your work, progress your career, and enjoy a healthy work‑life balance.
