Due to continued growth, we are now seeking an experienced Accounts Semi-Senior to join the team.
 
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working with a high degree of autonomy and responsibility while continuing to develop within a supportive and forward-thinking firm.

The Role
 
As an Accounts Semi-Senior, you will play a key role in supporting the delivery of high-quality accounting services to a varied portfolio of clients across multiple sectors. Responsibilities will include:

  • Reviewing accounts prepared by junior team members and providing constructive feedback
  • Production of management accounts and supporting analysis for clients
  • Assisting with audit assignments where required, providing cover during peak periods
  • Liaising directly with clients to resolve queries and provide ongoing support
  • Supporting managers and partners with ad-hoc assignments as required
This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of work and develop strong client relationships, while working within a collaborative and technically strong team.

The Candidate

The ideal candidate will have:
  • AAT qualification (or equivalent)
  • At least three years’ experience working within a modern and progressive accountancy practice
  • Experience preparing statutory accounts and management accounts
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
  • The confidence to work independently and communicate effectively with clients

  • High levels of autonomy and responsibility within their role
  • Exposure to a varied and interesting client portfolio
  • A collaborative and experienced team environment
  • A modern, forward-thinking practice culture
