Hiring Senior Accountant - Job ID - 24435

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on UK accountant who can lead from the front. You will personally produce accounts and tax work on a daily basis whilst building and managing a growing team around you.

We are open to two types of candidate:

•  Qualified or part-qualified ACCA with UK accounts and tax experience, ready to step into the role from day one

•  A high-potential candidate with strong soft skills and technical aptitude, whom we will support through ACCA qualification with a structured study and bond arrangement

For both, the non-negotiable is attitude: ownership mentality, hunger to build, and the discipline to see it through.

•  Review, check and sign off work before it goes to clients

•  Mentor and coach budding accountants through their professional development

•  Set and maintain standard operating procedures across all service lines

•  Manage workload allocation and ensure deadlines are met

Quality and Communication

•  Own the quality assurance process: review standards, error tracking, continuous improvement

•  Communicate professionally with UK clients, accountants and business owners

•  Handle escalations and complex queries with confidence

•  Provide regular operational updates to the senior management and clients

Requirements

What We Are Looking For

The Person
