Overview
We are a growing, independent accountancy firm based in Rayleigh, Essex. While we take the quality of our work seriously, we believe in maintaining a relaxed, friendly and supportive environment. We don't believe in unnecessary stress of micromanagement; instead, we focus on looking after our clients and enjoying what we do.
Sitting between our bookkeeping team and the Director, your primary focus will be taking books and shaping them into final, compliant draft accounts.
Day-to-day responsibilities to include:
- Reviewing Bookkeeping- Checking Xero/QuickBooks/Excel data provided by our bookkeepers or clients at year-end, making adjustments and clearing up any queries.
- Year-End Preparation - Preparing draft statutory accounts and working papers for sole traders and small limited companies
- Tax Compliance - Drafting personal tax returns and corporate tax computations ready for Director review
- Client Contact - Liaising politely and warmly with clients where necessary to gather missing information or clarify tax queries
- Assist with ad hoc projects, or special client requirements as needed.
Requirements
- UK practice experience (essential) - You must have a minimum of 2-3 years of recent experience working inside a UK accountancy practice.
- Software savvy - Highly proficient in cloud accounting platforms (specifically Xero and/or Quickbooks). Experience with standard accounts production and tax software (Iris and/or TaxCalc) is a major advantage.
- Qualifications - We value experience over pieces of paper. Whether you are AAT Level 4, part qualified ACCA or simply qualified by experience, we want to hear from you.
- A Great Attitude - Reliable, accurate, comfortable working independently with a friendly approach to both colleagues and clients.
In return we offer:
- A professional but genuinely warm, welcoming working environment.
- Genuine flexibility - we are very happy to adjust hours around school runs, family, or other commitments.
This role is initially temporary as we are currently facing a very busy period and have a back-log of year-end files and tax returns ready for production. We are looking for a down-to-earth practice professional to join us to help clear the backlog. For the right candidate, this could seamlessly transition into a permanent, long term part-time position within our team.
