Permanent Join a friendly and growing accountancy practice We are looking for an experienced Practice Accountant to join our team on a part-time basis in our Cottingham office. This is primarily a year-end accounts preparation role. You'll spend most of your time preparing accounts and supporting working papers for review, rather than managing a large portfolio of clients. The role is office-based in Cottingham, working approximately 20–25 hours per week. We can consider different working patterns, including school hours. If you are good at preparing accounts, enjoy getting the detail right and want a role where you can focus on doing good-quality accounts work, we'd like to hear from you.

Assisting with monthly or quarterly management accounts where required. Keeping jobs and internal workflows up to date as work progresses. The role is focused on accounts production. It is not primarily a bookkeeping, payroll or client-management position. What we're looking for Previous UK accountancy practice experience is essential. Ideally, you'll be comfortable taking a job from the underlying bookkeeping records through to a well-organised draft set of accounts for review. You'll be able to spot when something doesn't look right, identify missing information and work through routine issues rather than simply passing them on. You may be: AAT qualified (Level 4); part-qualified ACCA or ACA; or qualified by experience with solid UK practice experience. We're more interested in your practical ability and experience than the letters after your name. You'll also need: Good experience preparing year-end accounts for UK businesses.

A reliable and organised approach to managing your workload. A practical, common-sense approach to resolving problems. Good communication skills when dealing with colleagues and clients.
