Senior Accountant | Inspired Accounting, Leicester
Location: Leicester (office-based) — 250 Humberstone Road, Leicester, LE5 0EG
Salary: £38,000+ (DOE)
Type: Full-time, permanent (subject to a probationary period)
About us
We're Inspired Accounting (formerly Gower Accountancy), a Chartered Certified Accountancy practice based in Leicester, established in 2006. We're a quality firm of accountants: we take client relationships seriously, and we take the quality of the accounts we produce even more seriously. Everything is handled in-house by a small, experienced team — no jargon, no pressure, and no call centres.
We're looking for an ACCA-qualified Senior Accountant to work closely with the director and take real ownership of a client base of their own.
The role
This role has come about to cover an outgoing Senior Accountant who has built up strong experience within the firm. We're looking for someone who can step in and work competently and confidently from day one, while also offering the scope to grow into a broader role over time.
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.
You'll be a key part of a small, close-knit practice, working alongside the director across the full range of client work. This is a genuine opportunity to grow with the firm: to build client relationships, take on responsibility, and shape your own career rather than sit in a narrow lane.
Your work will include:
- Compiling accounts and statutory accounts to a high standard
- Considering tax planning opportunities on behalf of clients, not just compliance
- Taking the time to properly understand each client's business
- Covering all areas of accounting — from bookkeeping through to payroll, management accounting, compliance, and business strategy
What we're looking for
- ACCA qualified
- Solid experience gained within an accountancy practice
- Confident reviewing and preparing accounts and statutory accounts to a high standard
- Comfortable across the full compliance cycle — from bookkeeping through to year-end
- Looking for a role with genuine progression, where you can grow into managing your own clients
- A team player who's happy working closely with the director in a small-practice environment
