Accounts Senior

Location: Redditch
Working Arrangement: Fully Office-Based (This role isn't suitable for hybrid working)
Package: £40,000 - £45,000 (Dependent on experience)

As an Accounts Senior, you will play a pivotal role in the technical delivery and relationship management of the firm, focusing on high-level accuracy and client satisfaction. You will take ownership of accounts preparation and client needs with clarity, energy, and a strong focus on small-to-medium practice delivery.

Your primary focus will be the meticulous preparation and oversight of statutory accounts and tax compliance. Additionally, you will serve as a key point of contact for clients, utilizing your strong technical grounding to work with a good level of autonomy and explain complex financial matters with personality and professional insight. Audit experience is considered a bonus, but a strong bias toward core accounts production within a small/medium-sized practice environment is essential.
This role is perfectly suited to an experienced practice professional who thrives in a collaborative environment and is ready to start immediately or at the earliest opportunity. If you are looking for a culture where your individual contributions and ability to support the team are truly recognized, look no further.
