Accounts Senior

Accounts Senior | Eastbourne | £35,000 – £45,000

Client ownership from day one, not in three years' time.

A well-established Eastbourne practice is looking for an Accounts Senior to take on their own portfolio. The firm sits within a wider UK and Ireland accountancy group, so you get the technical resource and career structure of a large organisation while working in an office that has genuine local roots and knows its clients properly.

The client base is mostly owner-managed businesses and SMEs across a good spread of sectors. Relationship-led work rather than a production line.

What you'll be doing:

• Running your own portfolio, from preparation through to review standard
• Sole trader, partnership and limited company accounts
• Year end accounts and VAT returns
• Acting as the day-to-day contact for your clients, including closing meetings
• Supporting and training junior members of the team

What you'll need:

• ACCA, ACA or AAT qualified, part qualified, or qualified by experience
• Solid current practice experience
• Confident on Xero, Quick Books or Sage

What's on offer:

• £32,000 – £45,000 depending on experience and qualification
• Study support where relevant
• Clear route through to Assistant Manager
• A varied portfolio with real ownership
• Local firm feel, national group behind it

If you're a practice accountant in East Sussex who wants your own clients rather than a pile of jobs off a queue, this is worth a conversation.
