Accounts Assistant

Are you looking for your next step up within practice, with the opportunity to develop your skills, progress your career, continue studying and work alongside a brilliant team?

NXTGEN are working with a fantastic accountancy practice on the outskirts of Wymondham who are looking for an Accounts Assistant to join their supportive team. Having worked closely with this client for several years, I know they offer a great environment for someone who wants to build on their existing experience, take on more responsibility and progress their career.

You'll be joining a friendly and supportive team, working with a varied portfolio of local SME clients and gaining exposure to a range of year-end accounts, management accounts, tax and VAT work. You'll have the opportunity to build strong relationships with your clients, become their main point of contact and support them with their day-to-day accounting needs, all while continuing to develop your technical knowledge and experience alongside your studies.

Key Responsibilities:

* Preparing year-end accounts for a varied portfolio of local SME clients.

* Assisting with tax returns, VAT returns and other accounting requirements.

* Preparing management accounts.

* Building relationships with clients and acting as a key point of contact for any queries.

* Supporting clients with their day-to-day accounting needs.

* Working closely with the wider team to continue building on your existing knowledge and experience.

* Working across a range of accounting software, including Quick Books, Sage and Xero.

What's in it for you?

* A genuinely supportive firm that will invest in your studies, personal development and career progression.

* A clear progression pathway, tailored to your own career goals and aspirations.

* Study support and guidance to help you balance your qualifications alongside your day-to-day workload.

* Exposure to a varied portfolio of local SME clients, giving you the opportunity to broaden your experience across accounts, tax and VAT.

* The opportunity to attend networking events and business breakfasts if you'd like to develop your professional network.

* The chance to make a genuine impact within a smaller firm, where you can build strong relationships with both your clients and colleagues.

* A relaxed and friendly working environment where you'll be supported to develop and progress.

* Flexibility and hybrid working.

This is a great opportunity for someone who already has some experience within practice and is looking for their next step, whether that's broadening their accounts experience, gaining more exposure to management accounts and client work, or continuing to work towards their professional qualifications with a firm that will support them along the way.

There's lots more to the role, so if you're looking for an opportunity where you can develop your skills, continue studying and progress your career as part of a brilliant team, I'd love to hear from you!
