Experienced Practice Accountant | Fooks & Co, Bargoed
Fooks & Co is looking for an experienced and capable practice accountant to join our long-established team in Bargoed.
For us, practical experience and the ability to take ownership of a job from start to finish are paramount. We are happy to consider professionally qualified, part-qualified and qualified-by-experience candidates, as well as students who can demonstrate strong and relevant practice experience. The key requirement is that you are comfortable working accurately and with a high degree of independence.
Your core role will involve preparing accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies, taking the work from client records through to completion, including the associated:
- Self Assessment returns
- Partnership returns / SA800s
- Corporation Tax returns / CT600s
As a small practice, the work is varied. You will also be involved in areas including:
- VAT
- Payroll
- Making Tax Digital for Income Tax
- Client queries and meetings
- Liaising with HMRC by telephone, letter, and email
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate:
- Strong recent accountancy practice experience
- The ability to manage jobs from start to finish
- High levels of accuracy and technical competence
- Confidence working unsupervised
- Excellent organisation and the ability to meet deadlines
- A strong work ethic and team-focused approach
- Confidence dealing with clients face to face
- Practical experience dealing with HMRC
Our current systems include Microsoft 365, TaxCalc, Client Engager, and Xero. Experience with these would be advantageous, although candidates familiar with comparable software should transition easily.
The Position
This is a full-time, office-based role, Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm, at our Bargoed High Street office. We can offer flexibility to work from home where a temporary need arises, but this is not intended to be a permanent hybrid or remote position.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary, negotiable depending on experience and ability
- 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
- Workplace pension scheme
- Death in service life cover
- Study support for the right candidate
