If you're between roles, coming to the end of a contract, or just fancy a defined piece of work with a proper firm behind it, this is worth a look.
A long-established independent practice with offices in East Sussex needs an extra pair of experienced hands for three to six months. They act for SMEs and owner-managed businesses right across Sussex, from farming and manufacturing through to professional services, so the work is varied and the files are in decent order.
They've deliberately left the level open. This could suit an Accounts Senior who is confident taking a job through to final-stage accounts, or a Manager who would rather sit on the review side. Tell us where you're strongest and we'll shape it around you.
What you'd be doing:
Preparing statutory and year-end accounts for limited companies, sole traders and partnerships
Or reviewing accounts prepared by others and clearing queries, depending on your level
Corporation tax and personal tax compliance alongside the accounts work
Dealing with client queries directly where needed
What's on offer:
Three to six months, with a genuine chance it extends if the workload holds
Salary or day rate, whichever suits you better, negotiable on experience
Flexibility on which office you're based from, and hybrid working is available
A settled team with directors who are around and easy to get hold of
No sales targets, no business development, just get the work done well
You'll need:
Solid UK accountancy practice experience. This one isn't open to industry backgrounds
Confidence preparing or reviewing accounts with limited supervision
Working knowledge of corporation and personal tax compliance
Availability to start reasonably quickly
Qualified, part qualified or qualified by experience are all fine here. What matters is that you've done this work in practice and can pick up a portfolio without much hand-holding.
