• Are you a hero on Xero, the queen (or king) of Quickbooks, a dab hand on Dext, a master of management accounting, fantastic at financial accounts and very good at VAT?
• Does this sound like you AND you have worked in an accountancy firm?
• If you are looking to be counted and valued, want a company that will progress your career, dislike red tape or layers of management, then read on – or just call Natalie Harden at Reed.

Our client is a modern, thriving, firm who although are part of a Top 20 group, have a team small enough for you to not get lost in the crowd and who always work together and support each other.

Their clientele are those traditionally found in national firms, who choose the close and innovative service of the firm, who range vastly in sector and size giving you exposure to complex and interesting accounting and advisory work,

We are partnering with the firm to recruit a Senior Accountant who has sound experience working with cloud accounting systems.

Managing your own selection of clients your role will involve but not limited to –

• Prepare management accounts and bespoke client reporting.
• Prepare year-end statutory accounts and supporting working papers
• Prepare and review VAT returns, liaising with HMRC where required.
• Process and review bookkeeping using cloud-based accounting software,
• Prepare and review corporation tax computations and returns.

You’ll be a senior member of the team so will be looked upon to mentor and support the less experienced accountants. As a primary client contact, you will develop and maintain a solid relationship to be the “go to” person and be commercially aware to see new opportunities for the firm.

The Senior Accountant post is crucial to the business and so we seek a specific profile. You will –

• Be ACA, ACCA, CIMA or AAT qualified – or qualified by experience – but must have worked for an accountancy firm to UK regulations.
• You must – this is imperative – be proficient with systems such as Xero, Iris, Dext
• Have experience preparing management accounts, VAT returns, year-end accounts, and corporation tax returns. An introduction to personal tax would be a benefit but not essential
• Have the strong organisational, communication and people skills gained in practice.

In return, as well as undertaking stimulating work you will receive a competitive salary to reflect your level of experience and knowledge, join a firm that truly values its staff, operate in a positive working environment and have a multitude of attractive benefits available to you.
