Job Description:
About the Role
Working closely with the director, you’ll gain experience across a wide range of responsibilities including:
Year-end accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
Corporation tax and income tax computations
Management accounts and business support
Client advisory work
Supporting clients with MTD for Income Tax
Providing insight and analysis from year-end accounts
You will have direct client contact and the opportunity to build strong relationships and take real ownership of your portfolio. It’s a varied role ideal for someone who enjoys seeing the full picture rather than being siloed into one area
Key Responsibilities
Preparing and finalising accounts for a range of entity types
Producing income tax and corporation tax computations
Completing management accounts and analysis
Supporting clients with digital record-keeping and MTD requirements
Maintaining strong technical and compliance standards
Using platforms such as Xero, QuickBooks, and IRIS
To be considered –
Qualified / part qualified accountant with at least 2 years’ experience
Strong knowledge of Xero, QuickBooks and ideally IRIS
Confident producing accounts and tax computations independently
Someone who enjoys responsibility and building client relationships
High level of accuracy and attention to detail
A proactive, motivated individual who enjoys continuous learning
This role will suit someone who is ambitious, business-minded, and looking for meaningful progression in the coming years.
Why This Role Stands Out
Close collaboration with the director
Real input into how the practice develops
Exposure to a wider variety of work than in larger firms
Opportunity to take on more responsibility as the firm grows
Supportive environment where your ideas and contribution are genuinely valued
This is a great fit for someone who ultimately wants more independence and influence over their career than traditional roles typically offer — without the bureaucracy of a larger firm.
Benefits:
Company pension
Free parking
Life insurance
On-site parking
Sick pay
Work Location: In person / Hybrid potential in future
Salary range – £35,000 – £45,000 depending on experience and qualifications.
