We’re looking for someone who is:
- A natural communicator – comfortable explaining financial information clearly to clients and colleagues alike, and building the kind of rapport that turns routine contact into real client confidence
- Analytically sharp – able to interpret statutory accounts and business data and turn them into concise, informative management accounts that clients can act on
- A rounded adviser – capable of looking beyond a single return to a client’s whole financial and tax position (corporate, personal, and family) and advising accordingly
- Quick to adopt new technology – genuinely curious about technical innovation in accountancy and comfortable bringing new tools and accounting practices into everyday work
What You’ll Be Doing
- Preparing statutory accounts to a standard level, and interpreting them to produce concise, informative management accounts
- Preparing corporation tax and personal tax returns
- Preparing VAT returns
- Reviewing bookkeeping and payroll work
- Advising clients across their whole financial and tax position – corporate, personal, and family
- Assisting with client relationships and, occasionally, leading client meetings
- Supporting the team with delegated work and occasional training of junior staff
- Contributing to AML/compliance administration and process improvement, including adopting new technical tools and cloud accounting practices

Qualifications: AAT qualified, or ACA/ACCA part-qualified
Skills & knowledge

- Competent in bookkeeping, audit support, and corporate finance/business advisory work
- Understanding of payroll and company secretarial work, with compliance services experience
