Full job descriptionSemi Senior Accountant
Hale, Altrincham
Modern firm | 4-day week option | Study support | Genuine progression
£28,000 - £32,000


Some accountancy firms are still doing things the same way they did 20 years ago.


This isn’t one of them.


This is a modern, commercially minded firm of accountants in Hale that is growing, investing in technology, and building something genuinely different. They are now looking for a Semi Senior Accountant who wants more than just another year-end accounts role.


Yes, you’ll be preparing year-end accounts. But this is not a "sit in the corner and churn through files" type of position.


The firm works closely with its clients, helping them understand their numbers, make better decisions, and move their businesses forward. That means you’ll be encouraged to think commercially, ask questions, spot opportunities, and become a proper adviser — not just someone who prepares accounts after the event.


The owner is ambitious, forward-thinking and wants people around them who can grow with the firm. So if you are currently in a practice where everything feels a bit slow, old-fashioned or limited, this could be a very good move.


What makes it different?


The firm has a genuinely modern approach. They use up-to-date systems, embrace technology, and are constantly looking at better ways to deliver work for clients. It’s the type of environment where you won’t feel like you are being left behind while the rest of the profession moves on.


They also offer a working pattern that really stands out.


There is the option to condense your hours into 4 days, which most of the team do. That means a 3-day weekend — every week.


For someone who wants a proper career in accountancy but also wants more balance, that is a serious benefit.


The role


You’ll be joining as a Semi Senior Accountant and will work with a varied portfolio of clients, preparing accounts and supporting the wider team with client work.


Your role will include:


*Preparing year-end accounts for a range of clients
*Working with modern cloud-based systems and technology
*Supporting clients with queries and helping them understand their numbers
*Preparing corporation tax computations
*Assisting with management accounts and wider advisory work where appropriate
*Building strong relationships with clients
*Working closely with senior colleagues and the firm’s owner
*Developing your technical, commercial and advisory skills


The firm wants someone who is keen to learn, improve and become a bigger part of the business over time.


What they are looking for


You’ll need experience working within an accountancy practice and be comfortable preparing year-end accounts.


What matters most is that you have the right attitude, want to keep developing, and are interested in being part of a progressive firm.


What’s on offer?


*Study support
*Option to condense 5 days into 4
*3-day weekend working pattern
*Free parking
*Healthcare
*Modern offices in Hale
*Latest technology and systems
*Supportive, approachable owner
*Genuine progression as the firm grows
*A role where you can be part of something, not just another number


This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to move into a firm that feels current, ambitious and genuinely invested in its people.


If you are looking for a practice role where you can still progress, still learn, still work with good clients — but also get a better working pattern and a more modern environment — this is well worth a conversation.
