Full job description

About the Role

Blyth Accountants is a growing independent accountancy practice based in Glasgow, offering hands-on experience, direct client exposure and genuine progression within a supportive environment.

This is an opportunity for an Assistant Accountant with accountancy practice experience to take the next step in their career. You will work closely with the business owner across a varied client portfolio, gaining exposure to all aspects of practice work while developing towards a more senior role.

This role is suited to someone who already has a solid grounding in practice work and is looking to build on that experience, rather than someone at the early stages of their accounting career.

Key Responsibilities

Preparing and reviewing bookkeeping across Xero, FreeAgent and Sage
Preparing and submitting VAT returns
Managing bank reconciliations, ledgers and client records
Processing payroll and supporting CIS compliance
Assisting with management accounts and month-end processes
Supporting year end accounts preparation for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
Liaising directly with clients to obtain information and resolve queries
Dealing with HMRC on client matters, with support where required
Maintaining accurate digital records and working papers

What We’re Looking For

This role requires someone who can contribute from day one, with the ability to work independently on core tasks.

Essential

Previous experience working in an accountancy practice
Strong bookkeeping skills across cloud-based software
Experience preparing VAT returns with a good understanding of VAT basics
Experience supporting month-end or management accounts, even if at an assist level
Confident communicating with clients and handling day to day queries
Good understanding of core accounting principles including debits, credits, profit and loss and balance sheet
Strong attention to detail and ability to manage workload proactively

Desirable

AAT qualified or part qualified
Studying towards ACCA or CIMA, or planning to start
Experience with CIS
Exposure to year end accounts preparation

What This Role Is and Isn’t

A chance to build on existing practice experience
A role with real exposure and progression
An opportunity to take on increasing responsibility over time
Not a trainee or entry level role
Not suited to candidates with only transactional or processing experience
Not a role where fundamentals such as VAT basics will be taught from scratch

Salary and Benefits

£26,000 to £28,000 depending on experience
Study support available for ACCA or equivalent
Direct exposure to clients and the business owner
Opportunity to grow with the practice and take on more responsibility
Supportive and collaborative working environment

Pay: £26,000.00-£28,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Casual dress
Free parking
On-site parking
Private medical insurance
Work from home

Ability to commute/relocate:

Glasgow G52 4XZ: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (required)

Application question(s):

Have you prepared and submitted VAT returns as part of your role?
Are you confident preparing VAT returns with a basic understanding of VAT rules?
Have you assisted with management accounts or month-end processes?
Have you dealt directly with clients in your role?

Education:

Bachelor's (preferred)

Experience:

accountancy practice: 2 years (required)

Language:

English (required)

Work authorisation:

United Kingdom (required)

Work Location: Hybrid remote in Glasgow G52 4XZ
