Are you an experienced Accountant, having developed your career to date in accountancy practice?  Do you want to work for a firm that can offer progression based on merit if you want it, will listen to your needs and do what they can to meet them?  Do you want to work in a role that is tailored to your strengths and preferences?

Our client is a highly reputable medium sized accounting firm in the heart of Suffolk who have engaged our services to recruit a new team member, as Senior Accountant or Client Manager.

The level of the role will reflect your experience and what you seek in terms of responsibility.

The senior partner currently oversees a growing portfolio of c90 clients – no audits – and a similar number of unincorporated clients.

The role of Senior Accountant / Client Manager will assist the senior partner and other senior management with creating accounts and tax returns, either from scratch or first review to completion.

If you so desire you will have immediate and considerable client contact, or slowly work up to this with minimal liaison.

Other aspects will include handling general bookkeeping, taxation and accounting queries, occasion CGT submissions, and other general practice responsibilities.=

Should you so wish to, you will act as mentor to the trainees on the team, sharing your knowledge for their and the teams benefit.

As well – again this will be entirely upon your preferences – the firm has a growing number of service charge clients of which you are able to work with.

The benefits the firm can offer rival – even beat – most of the big name firms -, from very flexible working arrangements to above average holiday allowance – plus a warm, encouraging, motivating and supportive environment. Progression is also there should you so desire.

In return we require specific experience; you must have trained and experienced of working in an accountancy firm, producing work to UK regulations.   You may have left for another sector and looking to come back (but still current with all rules and regulations), be fully qualified (ACA, ACCA, AAT or equivalent) or we will seriously consider those with a successful career in practice but no qualifications.

Salary is a guide. If you have the experience and are on/looking for more please still apply or contact Natalie Harden at Reed.
