This friendly, professional team takes a proactive approach to supporting its clients. Alongside preparing accounts, you'll help business owners understand their financial position, manage cash flow and make informed decisions.

  • Producing management accounts, budgets and cash flow forecasts.
  • Building client relationships and attending meetings to discuss financial performance and future plans.
  • Explaining financial information clearly and offering practical support to business owners.
  • Supporting clients with accounting queries and helping improve their financial processes.
  • Using Xero, QuickBooks and Sage, working closely with colleagues to provide a responsive service.
What we're looking for
  • A fully qualified accountant, ideally ACA or ACCA.
  • Experience working in practice is essential.
  • Confidence working independently, managing priorities and taking responsibility for your work.
  • Strong communication skills and a personable approach to client relationships.
  • Good attention to detail and an interest in helping businesses develop.
  • Experience with accounting software; familiarity with Xero, QuickBooks or Sage would be helpful.
  • A driving licence and access to a car, required for the office location and client visits.


What's on offer
  • Approximately 21 hours per week, with flexibility over how these are arranged.
  • School-friendly working patterns considered.
  • Hybrid working, with Tuesdays in the office and remaining hours at home.
  • Usual office hours of 8.30am-4pm, with flexibility over your agreed schedule.
  • 20 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, pro rata.
  • An additional day's annual leave for each year of service, up to five extra days, pro rata.
  • Pension

  • A supportive team and the opportunity to develop your role as the business grows.
