We’re working with a well-established, highly respected professional accountancy firm that is looking to add an Accounts Assistant to its growing Accounting & Business Solutions team. This opportunity is ideal for someone who has already gained at least 18 months’ experience within an accountancy practice and is now looking to continue developing their technical skills in a supportive, people-focused environment.

This role is not suited to candidates from industry, the firm is specifically seeking someone with a strong grounding in practice-based accounts preparation.

Why this role stands out

You’ll be joining a firm known for its collaborative culture, hands-on support, and long-term career development. With close partner and manager involvement, you’ll gain exposure to a wide variety of clients and work, rather than being siloed into repetitive tasks.

This is a firm that genuinely invests in its people and encourages progression at your own pace. This is an office-based full-time permanent role offering flexible working options, a competitive salary and benefits.

The role will involve:

* Preparing financial statements for limited companies, partnerships and LLPs (FRS 105 & FRS 102)

* Producing monthly and quarterly management accounts for owner-managed businesses

* Supporting the preparation of charity accounts and gaining exposure to Charities SORP

* Assisting with independent examinations of charity financial statements

* Working closely with colleagues across accounts, tax and payroll teams

* Building strong client relationships and responding confidently to queries

* Supporting the wider team with ad-hoc work and internal projects

What we’re looking for:

* Previously worked as an Accounts Assistant, Assistant Accountant, Junior Accountant, Bookkeeper, Accounting Technician, Accounts Technician, Finance Assistant, or in a similar role.

* Minimum 18 months’ experience within a professional accountancy practice

* AAT qualified or part-qualified CA/ACCA (or qualified by experience)

* Strong attention to detail and good organisational skills

* Experience using accounting software such as Xero, Sage, QuickBooks or CCH

* A proactive, positive attitude and a genuine interest in developing within practice

* A team player who enjoys collaborative working and taking ownership

What’s on offer:

* A competitive salary

* Generous holiday allowance and flexible working options

* Ongoing training and development through a dedicated internal training academy

* Support with professional qualifications and subscriptions

* A friendly, inclusive culture with regular team and firm-wide social events

* Excellent benefits including pension, life insurance, wellbeing perks and enhanced leave policies

If you’re currently working in practice and looking for a role that offers variety, progression, and genuine support, this could be an excellent next step.
