Part way through your exams and ready for more responsibility? This Haywards Heath role gives you your own clients, a real variety of work and a firm that takes your development seriously.
ABOUT THE FIRM
My client is a well-established local practice that's part of a large UK and Ireland accountancy and business advisory group. It's a friendly, close-knit office, but you've got the training, resources and specialist colleagues of a much bigger organisation behind you, which is a great setup when you're still building your skills.
THE ROLE
You'll prepare year-end accounts and tax computations for a portfolio of sole traders, partnerships and limited companies, working closely with the seniors and managers. There's also some audit fieldwork, so you get a broader grounding than a pure accounts role. As you grow, you'll start helping the juniors too.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
- Preparing year-end accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
- Preparing personal and corporation tax computations
- Helping with corporation tax and VAT returns
- Supporting audit engagements, including fieldwork
- Dealing directly with clients by phone and email
- Helping and guiding junior team members
WHO THIS WILL SUIT
- Part-qualified AAT, ACA or ACCA, or actively studying
- Previous experience in an accountancy practice
- Confident with Excel and Microsoft Office
- Organised, accurate and happy juggling deadlines
- Friendly and comfortable talking to clients
WHAT'S ON OFFER
- Hybrid working
- Genuine scope for career growth as you progress through your exams
- Mixed accounts, tax and audit experience
- 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to buy up to 5 more
- Office closure over Christmas
- Life assurance at 4x salary, pension, and enhanced family leave and sick pay
