Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited
I'm supporting a well-regarded independent practice in central Harrogate that is looking to hire a PQ ACA/ACCA (or strong AAT candidate). The firm is stable, friendly, and offers genuine development – ideal for someone who wants broad exposure.
What You'll Be DoingYou'll join a close-knit Accounting team, working across:
- Accounts Preparation for a diverse client base
- Bookkeeping responsibilities – they need someone with 1-2 years' practice experience
- Optional development into Audit, VAT, and other technical areas – they're happy to train
- Working directly with partners and gaining real responsibility early on
Why This Role Stands Out
- Full study support (ACA/ACCA)
- Central Harrogate location (parking options nearby)
- Supportive partners and a collaborative culture
- Exposure to a wide range of work, not just one discipline
- Salary up to £35k for the right person
Who They're Looking For
- PQ ACA/ACCA or AAT-qualified with practice experience
- Someone who enjoys accounts prep and wants to grow
- A personable, grounded individual who fits well into a small team
