Salary: Competitive, depending on experience
Contract: Permanent, full time
Qualification: Part-qualified AAT, ACA or ACCA (or studying)

My client is a well-established local practice that’s part of a large UK and Ireland accountancy and business advisory group. It’s a friendly, close-knit office, but you’ve got the training, resources and specialist colleagues of a much bigger organisation behind you, which is a great set‑up when you’re still building your skills.

You’ll prepare year-end accounts and tax computations for a portfolio of sole traders, partnerships and limited companies, working closely with the seniors and managers. There’s also some audit fieldwork, so you get a broader grounding than a pure accounts role. As you grow, you’ll start helping the juniors too.
