Fancy a change of pace? More ownership, good clients and a smaller team where your contribution really counts? Teleios Recruitment is working with an independent, growing accountancy practice in Ripley who are looking for an experienced Accounts Senior or Senior Accounts Assistant to join their team. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety that comes with working in practice but would prefer a smaller, more personal working environment. You'll have your own portfolio of clients, plenty of responsibility and the opportunity to work closely with the business owner and an established team. No two days need to be the same, and you'll have the chance to really make the role your own.
So, what will you be getting involved in?
- Managing your own portfolio of clients.
- Preparing Limited Company Accounts.
- Completing Corporation Tax Returns (CT600).
- Preparing Self Assessment Tax Returns.
- Preparing and reviewing VAT Returns.
- Dealing with client queries and offering general accounting and tax advice.
- Building and maintaining good client relationships.
- Keeping work accurate, organised and on top of deadlines.
- Providing payroll cover when the manager is away.
What are we looking for?
Someone who knows their way around an accountancy practice and is confident managing their own clients and workload. Ideally, you'll have:
- Previous experience as an Accounts Senior, Senior Accounts Assistant or in a similar practice-based role.
- Good knowledge of accounts preparation and taxation.
- Experience preparing Limited Company Accounts and tax returns.
- Confidence dealing directly with clients.
- Good IT skills, ideally including Xero.
- A practical, organised approach and the ability to work independently.
AAT qualification would be beneficial but isn't essential. Whether you've worked as an Accounts Senior or Senior Accounts Assistant, good practical experience and the ability to get stuck in are just as important.
The important details:
- Salary: £30,000–£35,000+ depending on experience and negotiable.
- Hours: Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm.
- Working week: 35 hours per week.
- Location: Ripley, Derbyshire.
- Contract: Permanent.
