Accounts Senior

A true independent Brighton-based accountancy practice with a portfolio that actually keeps you interested.

A long-established independent firm of chartered accountants in central Brighton is looking for an Accounts Senior. Around twenty people, directors on the floor, and a client base that spans retail, construction, property, healthcare and professional services.

The mix here is the selling point. Alongside the usual owner-managed company work there is charity, service charge and trust work, so you are not preparing the same set of accounts fifty times a year.

What you’ll be doing

• Preparing accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
• Corporation tax computations and returns alongside the accounts
• VAT work and review of bookkeeping prepared by the trainees
• Talking to clients directly rather than going through a manager
• Getting clients up and running on Xero
• Supporting on audit work if that interests you

What’s on offer

• £38,000 to £45,000 depending on experience
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Study support if you are still finishing ACA or ACCA
• Real exposure to audit, charity and trust work
• A small, settled team where people tend to stay
• Brighton 

If you are ACA or ACCA qualified, or qualified by experience, and you want a bit more variety than your current seat gives you, this is worth a look.
