Accountants Senior

Accounts Senior (Compliance Focus)

Stoke-on-Trent | £30k–£40k | Hybrid working

Not every accounting role needs to lead to management.

Some people genuinely enjoy getting their head down, producing good work, and being part of a solid, reliable team — without the pressure of business development, advisory targets, or constant progression conversations.

If that sounds like you, this could be a really good fit.

I’m working with a well-established, growing practice in Stoke-on-Trent that’s looking to strengthen its compliance team with an experienced Accounts Senior.

This is very much a delivery-focused role — ideal for someone who enjoys accounts prep, managing a steady portfolio, and working in a structured, supportive environment.

What you’ll be doing:

• Preparing statutory accounts for a portfolio of SME clients
• Working with businesses typically in the £500k–£1m turnover range
• Corporate tax computations
• VAT returns and general compliance work
• Liaising with clients and keeping things moving

What they’re looking for:

• Practice experience is essential
• Confident producing accounts end-to-end
• Comfortable managing your own workload
• Reliable, consistent, and detail-focused
• Someone who enjoys a steady role rather than chasing progression

Why it’s worth a look:

• Strong, well-structured team around you
• Consistent workflow (no chaos or last-minute panic)
• Supportive environment — low staff turnover
• Hybrid working and flexibility where needed
• A role you can genuinely settle into long-term

If you’re sitting there thinking “I just want a solid role where I can do my job well and not be pulled in ten different directions” — this is exactly that.
