About Us

Lighthall Consult Chartered Certified Accountants is a London-based accountancy practice with a working arrangement from Colchester.

We are an ACCA Approved Employer and support a range of clients with tax compliance, business advisory, accounts preparation, reporting, and general practice support. As a growing firm, we are looking for someone who is motivated, reliable, and keen to develop within a professional accountancy practice environment.

We are seeking a detail-oriented Tax and Accounts Assistant to join our team on a 24-month fixed-term contract, with the possibility of extension depending on performance, reliability, and the needs of the firm.

This is a varied role offering exposure to tax compliance, business advisory, tax planning, client reporting, accounts preparation, and practice administration. It would suit someone who wants to build practical experience within a growing accountancy firm and develop a broad foundation across tax, advisory, and accounts work.

The Role

The successful candidate will assist with tax compliance, business advisory reports, client support, administration, and accounts preparation. You will work closely with the Partner and support the delivery of accurate, timely, and professional services to clients.

Unlike many junior practice roles, this position offers exposure to tax compliance, business advisory, tax planning, strategy reports, client advisory work, and accounts preparation. It is therefore a strong opportunity for someone looking to develop wider practical experience within accountancy practice.

This role would suit someone with around 1–2 years’ experience in an accountancy, tax, bookkeeping, finance, or practice support role. An ACCA Affiliate or part-qualified ACCA candidate would be preferred, although applicants with relevant experience and a strong willingness to learn will also be considered.

As Lighthall Consult Chartered Certified Accountants is an ACCA Approved Employer, this may be a particularly suitable opportunity for an ACCA Affiliate seeking relevant practical experience towards ACCA membership, or for a part-qualified ACCA candidate looking for structured development in practice.

This role is offered as a 24-month fixed-term development opportunity. It is designed for someone who is looking to make a meaningful commitment, gain practical experience, and develop across tax compliance, business advisory, client reporting, and accounts preparation.

The role will be based on a 4-day-per-week working pattern, with flexible working hours. The salary range is £22,000 – £25,000 full-time equivalent, pro-rated for 4 days per week, depending on experience.

Key Responsibilities

Your duties will include:

Assisting with tax compliance work and other tax-related assignments
Supporting ad hoc tax work and client tax queries
Helping with tax planning summaries and related client advisory work
Assisting with business plans and business advisory reports
Supporting the preparation of client advisory documents and management information
Assisting with client reporting and strategy-related documents
Preparing and responding to HMRC correspondence
Supporting client onboarding and maintaining client records
Chasing clients for outstanding records and information
Managing emails, deadlines, and internal administration
Assisting with invoicing and general office/practice administration
Supporting the preparation of accounts for sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies
Carrying out bank analysis and assisting with accounting records
Supporting the firm with other ad hoc practice tasks as required

Skills and Experience

The ideal candidate will have:

Around 1–2 years’ experience in an accountancy practice, tax, bookkeeping, finance, or related role
Some knowledge of tax compliance and business advisory work
An understanding of accounts preparation for sole traders, partnerships, or limited companies
Good attention to detail and accuracy
Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage deadlines
A professional, reliable, and confidential approach to work
Good written and verbal communication skills
Confidence using Microsoft Excel, or a willingness to improve Excel skills
A proactive attitude and willingness to learn
Ability to work independently while also taking guidance from the Partner

Qualifications

Preferred but not essential:

ACCA Affiliate
Part-qualified ACCA
Relevant accountancy, tax, bookkeeping, or finance experience

What We Offer

A 24-month fixed-term contract with the possibility of extension based on performance and business needs
A 4-day-per-week working pattern with flexible working hours
Salary of £20,000 – £27,000 full-time equivalent, pro-rated for 4 days per week
A varied role within a growing accountancy practice
Training and development support
Opportunity to gain relevant practical experience within an ACCA Approved Employer environment
Exposure to tax, business advisory, client reporting, accounts, and practice administration
Opportunity to gain relevant practical experience towards ACCA membership
Office-based role in a professional business environment
Parking
Career progression opportunities for the right candidate

Candidate Profile

We are looking for someone who is organised, reliable, and keen to build a career in accountancy practice.

The role requires someone who can support tax compliance and advisory work while also assisting with accounts preparation, client communication, and general practice administration.

We are looking for someone who is reliable, committed, and genuinely interested in developing within a growing accountancy practice. The role would particularly suit an ACCA Affiliate or part-qualified ACCA candidate seeking practical experience, structured development, and longer-term professional growth.

The successful candidate should be willing to learn, take ownership of tasks, and work with accuracy and professionalism. This is a good opportunity for someone who wants a broader role than a standard bookkeeping or accounts assistant position.

This position may suit someone currently working as a Tax Assistant, Accounts Assistant, Trainee Accountant, Bookkeeper, Finance Assistant, Practice Assistant, ACCA Affiliate, or Part-Qualified Accountant.

Pay: £20,000.00-£27,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Canteen
Casual dress
Free parking
On-site parking
Work from home

Licence/Certification:

ACCA Affiliate / ACCA Part Qualified (required)
