Practice Accountant / Accounts Senior
£35,000–£45,000 | North Derbyshire | 35-hour week | 4 or 5 days
Looking for a role in practice where you can enjoy work life balance and be part of a genuinely friendly, close-knit team?
Eaton Syalon are working with a small, independent, owner managed accountancy practice based in North Derbyshire to recruit an experienced Accounts Senior.
This is a lovely opportunity for someone who enjoys working in practice but perhaps wants something a little different from a larger firm. Somewhere you can take ownership of your work, make a real contribution and enjoy a good work-life balance along the way.
The practice supports a well established portfolio of predominantly sole traders and limited companies, providing a personal, hands on service to its clients.
With a small, supportive team and an approachable working environment, this is a business where everyone plays an important part. There isn't a culture of long hours or unnecessary pressure, and the owners are keen to find someone who will enjoy being part of the team for the longer term.
The role offers a 35 hour working week, with the option to work four days (28 hours) for someone looking for a little more flexibility.
The Role
Working closely with the practice owners and wider team, you'll take responsibility for a varied workload across accounts preparation, tax and client support.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Preparing year-end accounts for sole traders and limited companies.
- Preparing self-assessment tax returns and supporting tax computations.
- Preparing and submitting VAT returns.
- Managing your own portfolio of work, ensuring deadlines are met and jobs are progressed through to completion.
- Liaising directly with clients, answering queries and gathering information.
- Using Xero and other accounting software to prepare and maintain accurate financial records.
- Supporting colleagues and contributing to the smooth day-to-day running of the practice.
It's a hands-on, varied role, ideally suited to someone who enjoys the practical side of accountancy and takes pride in delivering a good service to their clients.
