We’re looking for an Accountant to join our UK team on a part-time basis, 9.30am - 2.30pm, five days a week, to take ownership of accounting and tax compliance for a portfolio of clients. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working independently, values accuracy and consistency, and wants to be part of a practice that does things properly, with hours that fit neatly around the school run and other commitments.
You'll be the person clients and colleagues can rely on to get accounts, tax returns and management accounts done right and on time, working closely with our Finance Business Partners so clients always get a joined-up, high-quality experience.
The Role:
As an Accountant, you will:
- Take full responsibility for accounts, corporation tax returns, VAT returns and self-assessment returns for a portfolio of clients, working without supervision and to a high standard
- Prepare and deliver management accounts for a portfolio of clients
- Collaborate closely with Finance Business Partners to support high-quality service delivery, onboarding and proactive communication
- Keep control of your tasks and deadlines, resolving blockers yourself and escalating issues when needed
- Follow the firm's risk management and quality control procedures
- Work to a high technical standard, following internal processes and minimising rework
- Spot opportunities to improve our processes and feed into technical and client-focused feedback loops
- Keep up an active programme of Continued Professional Development (CPD)
