Are you an experienced Senior Accountant looking for a new opportunity within a flexible and supportive accountancy practice?
Castle Employment is working with an established and forward-thinking accountancy practice that is looking to recruit a Senior Accountant to join its growing accounts team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys preparing and finalising year-end accounts, managing client relationships and taking ownership of their workload.
The firm offers a genuinely flexible working environment, with remote working available for experienced candidates. With approachable Partners, a relaxed culture and a strong focus on work-life balance, this could be a great next step for someone looking for more independence in their career.

The Role As a Senior Accountant, your responsibilities will include:

Preparing, reviewing and finalising year-end accounts for a varied portfolio of clients, including limited companies, sole traders and partnerships.
Managing accounts preparation from trial balance through to completion.
Preparing and reviewing corporation tax computations, ensuring compliance with HMRC requirements.
Managing client queries and providing accounting and tax-related guidance.
Taking ownership of accounts production, ensuring work is completed accurately and within deadlines.
Reviewing work completed by junior accountants and providing support where required.
Liaising directly with clients and building strong, long-term working relationships.
Working closely with the Partners and wider accounts team to manage workloads and meet deadlines.

About You We're looking for someone who has:

Previous experience working within an accountancy practice, ideally at Senior Accountant level.
Strong experience preparing and finalising year-end accounts, particularly for limited companies.
A good understanding of corporation tax, accounting standards and HMRC compliance requirements.
The ability to manage their own workload and work independently with minimal supervision.
Confidence communicating directly with clients and handling more complex accounting queries.
Experience reviewing accounts or supporting junior team members would be beneficial.

Qualifications are not essential! The firm is open to qualified, part-qualified and qualified-by-experience accountants who have the right technical experience within practice.
For candidates interested in remote working, previous experience working independently and managing accounts through to completion will be particularly important.
What's on Offer?
Salary of £35,000–£40,000, depending on experience.
Remote working available for suitably experienced candidates.
Flexible working hours and a genuine focus on work-life balance.
Potential study support towards professional qualifications.
Bonus scheme
Holiday allowance expected to be around 25 days, subject to confirmation.
A relaxed, supportive working environment with approachable Partners.
Regular team socials and activities, with remote employees encouraged to get involved.
The opportunity to take ownership of your workload and develop within an established practice.

If you're an experienced accountant working within practice and are looking for a role offering flexibility, independence and a supportive team, we'd love to hear from you.
