About the Role
We are looking for someone who can hit the ground running, take ownership of client files, review junior staff work, prepare and finalise accounts and tax returns, and complete filings with Companies House and HMRC.
The successful candidate will support the CEO by taking responsibility for accounts production, tax preparation, internal file review, statutory filings, and supporting junior team members.
For the right person, there may be an opportunity to grow into an Accounts Manager or Practice Manager role in the future, subject to performance, capability, and the needs of the firm.
