Cunninghams is a firm of Chartered Accountants in Lowestoft. Three partners and a team of around 22, across audit, accounts, bookkeeping, payroll and tax. We look after SME businesses and individuals in a wide range of trades, so the work is varied and you'll see a lot of different businesses up close.
We're looking for an accounts semi-senior to join our accounts production team. A more experienced senior would also be considered. Salary depends on experience and qualifications, and is negotiable for the right candidate.
What the role involves:
- Preparing accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
- Inputting data for personal and corporate tax computations, with the chance to take on more complex tax work as you develop
- Working alongside the rest of the team and dealing directly with clients
- Possibly looking after a small portfolio of bookkeeping clients
- Bespoke assignments outside routine compliance, where good communication and a flexible approach matter
What we're looking for:
- Solid experience in an accountancy practice doing similar work, to a good standard
- Someone who reviews their own work carefully and sees a job through
- Self-motivated and able to work independently, but happy as part of a team
- Qualifications help but aren't essential — good practice experience counts just as much
What you get:
- Funded training for part-qualified candidates who want to progress their qualification
- Genuine variety of clients and work, rather than the same handful of jobs on repeat
- A clear route to more responsibility and client contact once you've settled in and shown what you can do
We use IRIS as our main platform for accounts and tax production. Experience with it is a bonus, not a requirement.
