Job Overview
We are looking for a qualified by exam or by experience accountant to join our team on a temporary basis and help take some of the workload off our three Senior Associates.
This is a practical role suited to someone who is experienced, efficient and able to get on with their work without needing constant supervision who can present a completed job for final oversight before sending.
The role
The work will primarily involve:
- Preparing personal tax returns on Iris Personal Tax
- Preparing landlord rental property workings in excel from Xero or manual
- Preparing director-only tax returns
- Dealing with client correspondence and queries arising from these returns
- Producing clear, professional letters and emails
- Following our documented systems and procedures
- Helping keep work moving through the practice and taking workload away from the Senior Associates
There is no expected accounts preparation involved in this role.
What we are looking for
You will need to be:
- Qualified by exam or by experience, with relevant practice experience
- Experienced in preparing personal tax returns
- Experienced in dealing with rental property/landlord tax calculations
- Comfortable preparing director-only tax returns
- An excellent written communicator, with the ability to produce clear and professional client letters
- Efficient, organised and systemised
- Able to follow documented procedures accurately and efficiently
- Confident working independently and managing your own workload
- Experienced in IRIS Personal Tax or similar software
- Ideally proficient in Xero
- Accurate and able to use judgement to finish a task rather than leaving things half finished.
We are looking for someone who can quickly understand how we work, follow the systems already in place and get on with the job. The aim is for you to take work off our Senior Associates, rather than create more work for them.
The hours
We can offer either:
Option 1: One full day per week – 7 hours
Option 2: Two school days per week – 5.5 hours per day
We are happy to discuss which arrangement works best for the right person.
About us
We are a small, friendly accountancy practice with three Senior Associates and six other staff working collaboratively across our client base. We have established systems and documented procedures, and we value people who are organised, efficient and take responsibility for getting their work completed.
This is a temporary position until the end of January 2027, with the possibility of extension.
If you are an experienced accountant looking for a flexible role that fits around school or other commitments, we would be interested in hearing from you.
We are very supportive of working parents and therefore happy to offer school day working hours.

Expected hours: 7.0 – 11.0 per week
