Your new company

Join a modern, ambitious accountancy practice that partners with fast-growing SMEs and international groups. This is a firm where you're trusted, listened to, and encouraged to bring ideas - not just crunch numbers.

Your new role

As a Financial Accountant, you'll take ownership of a varied client portfolio and deliver high-quality financial reporting that actually means something to the people running the business.

You'll be:

  • Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts under FRS 102
  • Producing sharp, insight-led monthly and quarterly management accounts
  • Strengthening balance sheet controls and reviewing reconciliations
  • Handling VAT returns and day-to-day compliance
  • Building cashflow forecasts and financial analysis clients will love
  • Streamlining processes and supporting cloud migrations (Xero/QBO/Sage Intacct)
  • Working closely with Tax, Audit and Payroll to deliver a seamless service

    You'll quickly become a trusted point of contact for finance leads and business owners who want clear answers - not jargon.

What you'll need to succeed

  • ACA/ACCA qualified
  • Strong technical grounding in UK GAAP (FRS 102); IFRS a bonus
  • Confident preparing and reviewing statutory + management accounts
  • Good VAT knowledge and practical compliance experience
  • Solid experience with cloud accounting platforms
  • Proactive, organised and comfortable advising senior stakeholders

What you'll get in return

A genuinely supportive firm where progression is encouraged, ideas are welcomed, and flexibility is standard.

You'll work with interesting, growing businesses and continue building your technical and commercial toolkit - without the long-hours culture.What you need to do nowIf you're interested in this role, click 'apply now' to forward an up-to-date copy of your CV, or call us now.
