Mission of the role

Prepare and review UK year end accounts, corporation tax returns and VAT returns for UK small business clients. You work in a pod of five led by a UK-based Senior Accounts Manager: two senior accountants, two accountants and a bookkeeper, serving around 300 UK small business clients from January and growing to around 500 through 2027. Until the manager starts in January, you work in one of our existing UK teams.

You review the accountants’ and bookkeeper’s work so it reaches the manager right the first time, and you are the person they come to with questions.

What you’ll do

• Prepare year end accounts (FRS 102 and 105), corporation tax computations and CT600s, and VAT returns under Making Tax Digital.
• Review the work of the accountants and bookkeeper in your pod, explain your corrections, and help them get it right the first time.
• Chase clients early for missing records, and tell your manager in good time when a deadline is at risk.
• Email UK clients directly to ask for information or explain what you need.
• Keep client records and workflow data accurate, so anyone can see where each client stands.
• Use the AI tools we are building into our products and workflows, and help shape them.
