If you're a qualified practice accountant who enjoys variety, client contact and having genuine ownership of your work, this could be a strong next step.
We're recruiting for an Accounts & Audit Senior to join a well-established accountancy practice supporting a diverse portfolio of SME clients. Based in Basildon, with occasional work from a nearby office and travel to client sites, this is a predominantly office-based opportunity offering a varied mix of accounts, tax and audit.
With around 70% of the role focused on accounts and tax and 30% on audit, you'll have the opportunity to build strong client relationships while continuing to develop your audit expertise and supervisory experience.
The Opportunity
As an Accounts & Audit Senior, you'll take responsibility for your own portfolio, managing assignments with a high degree of independence while working closely with senior colleagues on more complex matters. You'll have regular exposure to clients, giving you the opportunity to understand their businesses rather than simply processing figures. There's also scope to increase your responsibilities over time, including taking on more complex clients, greater audit involvement and further responsibility for junior team members.
This role would suit someone with a solid practice background who is technically confident, commercially aware and ready to take more ownership.
What You'll Be Doing
- Preparing year-end statutory accounts for a portfolio of SME clients
- Completing corporation tax returns, including CT600s
- Preparing personal and self-assessment tax returns
- Reviewing accounting records and investigating potential accounting or tax issues
- Managing your own workload against internal and statutory deadlines
- Communicating directly with clients to obtain information and resolve queries
- Developing a strong understanding of clients and their wider financial needs
- Working alongside Directors on more complex accounts and tax assignments
- Planning and carrying out audit fieldwork
- Preparing clear, well-organised audit working papers and files
