Senior Accountant - Helston - £45,000 - £55,000
The right senior role in accountancy practice gives you the opportunity to do more than produce accounts. It gives you the chance to build relationships, support others and have a genuine influence on how the business operates.
Trial Balance are delighted to be working with a growing and personable accountancy practice, looking to recruit an experienced Senior Accountant to join its team in Helston. This is a hands-on position offering a broad range of responsibilities, from accounts and tax work through to client management, team development and supporting the day-to-day operation of the practice.
As Senior Accountant, your responsibilities will include:
- Managing a varied portfolio of clients and acting as a key point of contact for their ongoing accounting and taxation requirements

- Supporting the Directors with wider practice management and ad-hoc projects
As Senior Accountant, you'll bring:
ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent qualification, together with extensive experience gained within an accountancy practice.
You'll have strong technical knowledge across accounts, tax and VAT and be confident managing a portfolio of clients independently. Experience supervising colleagues or managing a small team will be important, alongside excellent communication skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
