Ready to take the next step in your accountancy career with a firm that values practical experience, client relationships, and genuine progression opportunities?

We're partnering with a well-established and highly respected accountancy practice in Dudley that is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Accountant to join their close-knit team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a practice-trained accountant who enjoys a varied role, combining client accountancy work with audit assignments, while also taking ownership of client relationships and supporting the development of junior team members.

The firm works with a broad range of owner-managed businesses, partnerships, sole traders and limited companies, offering exposure to diverse and interesting work. With a clear progression pathway and regular performance reviews, this role is ideal for someone looking to take the next step in their practice career.

The Role
As a Senior Accountant, you'll be responsible for managing a portfolio of clients while supporting the wider practice across accounts preparation, audit and advisory services.

Key responsibilities will include:

Preparing statutory accounts for sole traders, partnerships, limited companies and charities
Preparing and reviewing management accounts
Managing client relationships and acting as a key point of contact
Attending client meetings and providing practical business advice
Supporting and contributing to audit assignments
Reviewing bookkeeping work and overseeing junior team members
Preparing and reviewing tax computations and returns
Liaising directly with HMRC regarding client matters and enquiries
Assisting with tax planning opportunities for individuals and businesses
Supporting workflow management, deadlines and team development
Working closely with the Practice Manager and wider leadership team

About You
We're keen to speak with experienced practice accountants who demonstrate strong technical capability alongside excellent client-facing skills.
You'll ideally have:

Previous experience working within an accountancy practice environment (essential)
Strong accounts preparation experience across a range of business entities
Audit experience, ideally including planning, fieldwork and completion stages
Good knowledge of corporation tax, personal tax, VAT, CIS and PAYE
Experience managing a client portfolio
Confidence communicating directly with business owners and stakeholders
Experience reviewing work and supervising junior staff
A proactive, "can-do" approach with the ability to take ownership of your work
Professional qualifications (ACA / ACCA) are preferred but not essential for the right candidate

Candidates from small to medium-sized independent practices will be particularly well suited to this opportunity.

Benefits

Salary up to £45,000 depending on experience
Flexible hours
Annual bonus
Private medical insurance
Clear career progression opportunities
Support towards professional qualifications where appropriate

Why Join?
This is a firm that genuinely values practical experience, client service and professional development. You'll be joining a collaborative team where your contribution will be recognised, your career progression supported and your work varied and engaging.

If you're an experienced practice accountant looking for a role that offers responsibility, client exposure and long-term progression, we'd love to hear from you.
