ALF Recruit is delighted to be partnering exclusively with a long-established and independent firm of Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors, to recruit an experienced Accountant / Bookkeeper into their growing team.
What you'll get
* £30,000 – £36,000 DOE
* 23 days holiday plus bank holidays, rising with service
* On-site parking
* Air-conditioned modern offices
* A genuinely friendly, supportive team culture
* Study Support – ACCA/ACA (in works time)
* The chance to be part of a firm that values independence and quality over scale
Why this is a great opportunity
The employer is an independent firm and proud of it. They've built their reputation by doing the basics brilliantly: high standards, technical excellence, and the kind of personal service that bigger firms simply can't replicate. As the practice continues to grow, they're looking for an experienced pair of hands who can take genuine ownership of their work and hit the ground running from day one.
This is a great role for a qualified-by-experience accountant, someone who is part qualified or an experienced bookkeeper who wants the variety of practice life and the autonomy to manage their own portfolio, within a firm that values capability over corporate process.
What you'll be doing
* Bookkeeping and accounts preparation across a varied portfolio of clients
* VAT returns and management accounts
* Year-end accounts preparation
* Liaising directly with clients and managing your own relationships
* Working closely with senior team members and partners on more complex assignments
What we're looking for
* Solid practice accounts or bookkeeping experience, confident across the full bookkeeping cycle
* Qualified by experience, or holding a relevant qualification – ACCA/ACA/AAT
* Comfortable working independently and managing your own workload
* Experience with cloud software (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage) a real plus
* Strong attention to detail and genuine pride in the quality of your work
* Someone who values being part of a close-knit team, not a number in a corporate structure
If you're looking for the kind of practice where you'll be properly valued, properly trusted, and properly looked after this is one worth a conversation.
Apply directly or get in touch with the team at ALF Recruit for a private and confidential discussion.
