Accounts Senior | Uckfield, East Sussex | Up to £45,000 | Hybrid
Want your own client portfolio, partners who know you by name, and a firm that doesn't expect you at your desk at 8pm?
A well-established firm of Chartered Accountants in Uckfield is looking for an Accounts Senior to join its accounts team. It still has the personal feel of a long-standing independent practice, but it's now part of a larger, growing group. That means real investment, specialists to lean on and more room to progress than you'd usually find in a firm this size.
You'll look after your own portfolio of owner-managed and SME clients and be their go-to contact day to day. There's plenty of variety, proper client contact, and the chance to get stuck into tax and more complex work alongside managers and partners.
What you'll be doing
- Managing your own client portfolio and handling their day-to-day accounting queries
- Preparing year-end and management accounts for owner-managed businesses and SMEs
- Preparing corporation tax computations and returns, with some personal tax work
- Reviewing bookkeeping records and sorting out discrepancies
- Supporting managers and partners on more complex assignments
- Helping to develop junior members of the team
What you'll need
- Accounts preparation experience in UK practice, ideally running your own portfolio
- AAT qualified, part-qualified ACA or ACCA, or equivalent practical experience
- Sound knowledge of UK accounting standards
- Good organisation and confidence dealing with clients
What's on offer
- Salary up to £45,000
- Hybrid working
- No late-hours culture
- Approachable partners and managers, many of whom started out as trainees themselves
- A development path built around you, backed by the wider group
- CPD throughout the year, and you can put forward courses you'd like to do
- A sociable team with its own social club
