Accounts Semi-Senior

Haywards Heath, West Sussex | Hybrid

Location: Haywards Heath, West Sussex (hybrid)

Salary: Competitive, depending on experience

Contract: Permanent, full time

Qualification: Part-qualified AAT, ACA or ACCA (or studying)

Part way through your exams and ready for more responsibility? This Haywards Heath role gives you your own clients, a real variety of work and a firm that takes your development seriously.

ABOUT THE FIRM

My client is a well-established local practice that's part of a large UK and Ireland accountancy and business advisory group. It's a friendly, close-knit office, but you've got the training, resources and specialist colleagues of a much bigger organisation behind you, which is a great setup when you're still building your skills.

THE ROLE

You'll prepare year-end accounts and tax computations for a portfolio of sole traders, partnerships and limited companies, working closely with the seniors and managers. There's also some audit fieldwork, so you get a broader grounding than a pure accounts role. As you grow, you'll start helping the juniors too.

Preparing year-end accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies

Preparing personal and corporation tax computations

Helping with corporation tax and VAT returns

Supporting audit engagements, including fieldwork

WHO THIS WILL SUIT
