Accountant | Client Manager

Modus Accountants

We’re looking for a recently qualified accountant who is ready to step up and start building their own client portfolio, with support from an experienced team around you.

You’ll manage a portfolio of clients with guidance from our senior team, building toward full ownership as you develop. Day to day, that means:

• Preparing statutory accounts for limited companies (FRS 102 Section 1A), sole traders, and partnerships
• Preparing corporation tax returns and self assessment tax returns
• Handling VAT returns and advising on VAT treatment
• Producing work that is accurate, well structured, and ready for senior review
• Building client relationships, managing expectations, and communicating proactively
• Developing your technical knowledge across a broad range of client types and sectors
• Staying current with regulatory changes, including MTD for Income Tax

This is a role for someone who wants to grow. You’ll have support and development from day one, but we’ll also give you real responsibility and client contact from the start. If you’re the kind of person who wants to learn by doing, this is the right environment for you.

What we’re looking for:

• ACCA, ACA, or CIMA qualified (full membership, not affiliate status)
• Minimum 4 years’ experience in a UK accountancy practice
• Solid accounts preparation experience, ideally across more than one entity type
• Comfortable preparing corporation tax computations and self assessment tax returns
• A working understanding of VAT
• Someone who takes pride in the quality and accuracy of their work
• Clear, professional communication with clients and colleagues

• Experience with cloud based accounting and practice management software
• Awareness of MTD for Income Tax
• Exposure to a broad client base including owner managed businesses

• Salary of £38,000 to £42,000 depending on experience
• Individual performance bonus of up to 5%
• Bupa private health insurance
• Company pension
• Life insurance
• Free on site parking at Frilford Heath Golf Club
• Regular team socials and client events
• Genuine investment in your development, with a clear path to grow into a senior role
• A relaxed, supportive environment where you’re trusted to do good work
