This role suits a qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA, CA or CIMA) probably/potentially with around 3-4 years PQE. with a background training in practice, ideally followed by one/two moves within industry.

- Ensure the business operates in compliance with taxes such as CIS and VAT

To be considered you will be/have:
- As detailed above, this role sits around the Manager equivalent within practice, but our client is targeting a candidate that is qualified (ACA, CA, ACCA or CIMA) with some embedded industry experience under their belt post practice
- Our client is focused on, ideally, securing a candidate currently working in real estate and looking for a broader challenge, or a candidate that has some exposure to real estate/property clients within their time (and qualification) within practice.
- Our client loves self starters, someone who can determine and work to their deadlines and operate within an environment where the individual can flourish
