Senior Accountant/Assistant Manager; Join a firm where technical expertise matter in Bury St Edmunds

Are you a Senior Accountant/ Assistant Manager from practice ready to leave routine compliance behind? Do you thrive on tackling complex accounting challenges rather than ticking boxes? Do you enjoy getting into the detail of financial reporting, consolidations, corporation tax and specialist projects? Have you worked with medium sized companies including cash flow statement and disclosures as well as consolidations?

Reed Practice is partnering with a well-respected, independent accounting firm who are looking for a technically strong Senior Accountant or Assistant Manager to join their ever-expanding team. This is a fantastic opportunity to work with at least medium-sized businesses, advising clients on complex financial matters while enjoying the flexibility of hybrid or fully remote working. If you're looking for a firm where your expertise is valued, your development is supported, and no two days are quite the same, then this is the next career move for you!

As Senior Accountant/ Assistant Manager you'll be part of a collaborative, supportive team that genuinely enjoys working together, sharing knowledge, and who take pride in developing their people and providing opportunities to grow professionally. This is ideal for someone who enjoys technical accounting, problem-solving and advisory work. You'll support a portfolio of larger corporate clients and group structures, providing high-quality financial reporting and compliance services.

Your role will include:

• Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts for medium-sized companies, larger entities and groups

• Researching & resolving technical accounting issues, documenting findings and advice
• Manage corporate tax & VAT compliance, supported by specialist colleagues
• Building strong client relationships through regular communication and consulting ideas
• Reviewing work prepared by junior team members and helping develop their skills

Audit experience would be beneficial, it is not essential. This role can be fully remote or hybrid, so you'll need to be comfortable managing relationships through virtual meetings, phone calls and regular correspondence.

• ACA / ACCA qualification, with post-qualified experience (or newly qualified with strong relevant experience)
