This is a hands-on role suited to someone with solid accountancy practice experience who is confident preparing draft accounts from a trial balance and enjoys working directly with clients.

Supporting with bookkeeping and general accounts work
Managing your workload effectively with minimal supervision
Supporting the wider practice with additional accounting duties where required

Please note: The successful candidate will prepare draft accounts but will not be responsible for final sign-off. Final review and sign-off will be completed by the practice owner.
