Senior Accounts and Tax Assistant

Hays Senior Finance • Permanent • Swansea, Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom • £32k - £37k / year • 3d ago

Your new company
A well-established accountancy and business advisory firm is looking to appoint a Senior Accounts and Tax Assistant to join its growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with accountancy practice experience who is developing their technical knowledge and wants to build a long-term career in accounts, bookkeeping, VAT and client reporting.

Your new role

A Senior Accounts and Tax Assistant, you will support the preparation of financial accounts by processing invoices, reconciling accounts and maintaining accurate financial records. You will assist senior colleagues with bookkeeping, VAT returns and compliance work, helping to ensure efficient financial operations and accurate reporting for clients.
You will communicate professionally with clients, request missing information, handle basic queries and escalate more complex matters where required. You will also support timely client service delivery, identify areas for improvement and work collaboratively with senior team members.
The role will involve working with accounting and performance software including CCH, Microsoft Office, client portals and people systems, while continuing to develop sector-specific knowledge and awareness of relevant legislation and accounting standards.

What you'll need to succeed

You will ideally be studying towards a relevant accountancy qualification, such as AAT, ACA, ACCA or CA, or be qualified by experience.
You should have experience gained within an accountancy practice environment, with exposure to accounts preparation, bookkeeping, VAT, reconciliations and compliance-focused work.
You will need strong attention to detail, the ability to clear review queries with reduced assistance and the confidence to work independently on less complex compliance tasks. You should also be able to spot potential issues, risks or areas of contention and escalate them appropriately.
The successful candidate will have a developing technical understanding of accounts, tax computations, disclosure requirements, Companies House information, filing deadlines, reconciliations, asset disposals, loan schedules, bad debts and related accounting matters.

What you'll get in return
You will receive a competitive salary of up to £37,000, depending on experience, alongside the opportunity to join a supportive and professional accountancy practice environment. You will gain exposure to a broad range of client work, develop your technical accounting knowledge and work closely with experienced colleagues who can support your continued career progression.
This role offers the chance to build on your existing practice experience while continuing your professional studies or developing further as a qualified-by-experience accounting professional.
