Accountant

If you're an Accountant looking for more variety, better client relationships and a stronger advisory focus, this opportunity offers exactly that.

Working with entrepreneurial businesses and owner-managed companies, you'll become a trusted point of contact rather than just another compliance Accountant. The role combines accounts preparation, client advisory work, taxation aspects and cloud-based technology.

• Managing a diverse portfolio of entrepreneurial businesses, Owner Managed Businesses (OMBs), and private clients.
• Overseeing the preparation and review of management accounts, year-end accounts, CIS, and VAT returns.
• Providing advisory and cloud-based digital software support (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage).
• Acting as a trusted business advisor to help clients maximize exemptions, plan for tax, and scale their businesses.
• Reviewing work prepared by junior and trainee accountants and assisting them with their development.
