File annual accounts (micro, small, full, and dormant) via Companies House web-filing and software
Prepare and submit confirmation statements (CS01), including officer and PSC updates
Assist with company incorporations, dissolutions, and statutory register maintenance as required
Proactively manage filing deadlines and communicate upcoming obligations to clients

Team Leadership & Practice Management

Plan and allocate workload across the team to ensure deadlines are met
Mentor and develop junior colleagues, providing constructive feedback and on-the-job training
Act as the primary client relationship manager for an allocated portfolio
Contribute to continuous improvement of practice workflows and procedures

Experience supervising or leading a small team within a practice setting
Proficiency in cloud accounting software (Xero, Capium, QuickBooks, or equivalent)
