- Preparing year-end accounts for limited companies, sole traders and partnerships.

- Producing VAT returns, management accounts and tax returns.

- Managing your own portfolio of clients and being their main point of contact.

- Supporting clients with cloud software such as Xero, Sage and QuickBooks.

- Answering client queries and providing day-to-day advice.

- Working closely with the wider team to deliver a great service.

What we're looking for

- Experience working in a UK accountancy practice.

- Confident preparing accounts for a range of SME clients.

- Good working knowledge of VAT and bookkeeping.

- AAT qualified, ACCA/ACA part-qualified or qualified, although we're equally happy to consider someone qualified through experience.

- Someone who's personable, organised and enjoys working directly with clients.
