Senior Accountant – Practice
Ready to step into a role with real variety, better clients, and work that actually stretches you?
We’re working with a well-established and growing accountancy practice that’s looking to appoint a Senior Accountant to join their team. This is a genuinely varied role, offering exposure to a broad portfolio of SME and larger clients, including businesses with revenues into the millions.
If you’re currently feeling boxed into repetitive work or a narrow client base, this could be a refreshing next step.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of a diverse client portfolio, working closely with business owners and senior stakeholders. The work goes beyond one-dimensional compliance and offers real scope to use your technical skills and judgement.
Your responsibilities will include:
*
Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts
*
Supporting audit work where required
*
Managing corporation and personal tax compliance
*
Reviewing and overseeing VAT (this is not a VAT-only role)
*
Leading and attending client meetings
*
Acting as a trusted advisor to clients across a range of sectors
*
Supporting and mentoring junior team members where appropriate
The Clients
*
A mix of SME and larger businesses
*
Turnovers ranging from early-stage companies through to multi-million-pound organisations
*
Varied industries and structures — no narrow or repetitive portfolios
About You
*
An experienced Senior Accountant or practice-trained accountant operating at this level
*
Comfortable managing clients end-to-end
*
Strong technically, but equally confident in front of clients
*
Someone who enjoys understanding the detail, asking the right questions, and delivering quality work
*
Years of experience matter less than the breadth and quality of work you’ve done
Why Consider This Role?
*
Exposure to more complex and interesting clients
*
A role focused on quality, not volume
*
A chance to move away from narrow, repetitive portfolios
*
Supportive practice environment with room to grow
