Full job descriptionAre you looking for your next move within accountancy practice?
I am working with a small, friendly and close knit accountancy firm who are looking to add an Accounts a Assistant to their team.
This is a really nice opportunity for someone who wants to join a smaller firm where you will actually get to know the people you work with, have plenty of variety in your day and be given the opportunity to develop your skills.
You will be working across a varied portfolio of clients, getting involved in accounts, tax, VAT and payroll, so there is always going to be something different to get stuck into. You will also have the chance to speak directly with clients and build those relationships, rather than just being sat behind a desk doing the same thing every day.
What will you be doing?
Your day to day will include:
*Preparing year end accounts and financial statements
*Helping with management accounts
*Assisting with tax returns
*Preparing VAT returns
*Helping with payroll and providing cover during busy periods
*Maintaining accurate financial records and completing data entry
*Using accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks and Sage
*Liaising with clients to gather information and deal with queries
*Making sure clients meet their filing deadlines
*Completing Companies House filings
*Working closely with the rest of the team to get everything done
What are they looking for?
Ideally, you will already have some experience within an accountancy practice and be comfortable working across accounts. Experience with Xero, QuickBooks or Sage would be useful, although it is not essential.
More importantly, they are looking for someone who is keen to learn, has good attention to detail and wants to develop their career.
You will need to be organised, have good communication skills and be comfortable working both independently and as part of a small team.
What’s in it for you?
*Bonus
*Company pension
*Free parking
*On site parking
*A really friendly and supportive team
*A varied role across accounts, tax, VAT and payroll
*Plenty of opportunity to learn and develop
*The chance to build long term relationships with both colleagues and clients
If you are looking to join a smaller practice where you can become a valued member of the team, rather than feeling like just another number, this could be a really good opportunity.
