Accountant / Client Accountant
Location: Birmingham-based - hybrid
Hours: Full-time
Salary: Up to £45,000
Start: October 26
About us
JDR Admin is a fast-growing, cloud-based accountancy practice supporting ambitious businesses across a wide range of industries - from TV producers and jewellery brands to leading consultants in the AI space. We pride ourselves on providing a proactive, personal service that goes beyond traditional compliance.
As a boutique firm, we're able to move quickly, embrace new technology and build genuine relationships with both our clients and our team. With rapid growth over the last two years, we're building a high-performing Birmingham-based team to take us further.
The role
We’re looking for a capable accountant to own the day-to-day client relationship and preparation of work across a portfolio of clients, from bookkeeping through to draft accounts, tax and compliance, with technical review and sign-off before anything is finalised.
This is a genuine hands-on practice role, not a supervisory one - ideal for someone who wants to build their technical experience across a real variety of clients, with support and review rather than being left to sink or swim.
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.
What you'll do
- Process client work start to finish - bookkeeping, VAT returns, year-end accounts, corporation tax, self-assessment tax returns and confirmation statements
- Own the relationship day to day - day-to-day client contact for queries, information requests and routine compliance
- Work to a review standard - your work is reviewed and signed off before it's finalised
- Support onboarding - help bring new clients on board smoothly as we grow
- Keep work moving - manage deadlines through our cloud workflow
About you
- AAT qualified and/or part-qualified (ACCA / ACA) - or qualified by experience
- Comfortable handling a portfolio of small-company clients independently (accounts, VAT, bookkeeping, tax)
- Confident and personable with clients - happy being their day-to-day point of contact
- Organised and reliable, able to manage your own deadlines across multiple clients
- Strong on cloud accounting software (Xero especially; other platforms are a plus)
- Based in or around Birmingham
