About the role
This is a great opportunity for a part-qualified accountant to take the next step in their career within a structured, client-facing practice environment.

- Performing month-end close procedures, including prepayments, accruals, depreciation, and intercompany adjustments
- Reviewing bookkeeping outputs completed by junior team members and providing constructive feedback
- Preparing and submitting VAT returns accurately and in compliance with Making Tax Digital requirements
- Supporting year-end preparation, including schedules and working papers for statutory accounts and audit readiness
- Assisting with new client onboarding, including chart of accounts setup, data migration checks, and Xero configuration
- Liaising directly with clients to explain management accounts outputs, variances, and financial performance
- Maintaining accurate records within Karbon and the team's document management systems
- Actively engaging with training and development activities in support of ongoing qualification progress
