This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced practice accountant to join a growing accountancy firm in North Shields.
The firm is looking for a well-rounded Accounts Senior who enjoys variety and wants to work across accounts, tax and bookkeeping rather than becoming too specialised.
You'll work closely with a broad range of clients, taking responsibility for their day-to-day accounting requirements while continuing to develop your technical and client-facing skills.
For someone looking for a long-term move within practice where experience and ability are valued just as highly as qualifications, this is a particularly attractive opportunity.

Preparing corporation tax computations and returns
Supporting clients with personal tax matters where required

Preparing and reviewing VAT returns
Producing management accounts where required
Working directly with clients to resolve accounting queries
Maintaining accurate accounting records
Supporting clients with their ongoing compliance requirements
Building strong, long-term relationships with clients
Working closely with Managers and Directors on more complex assignments
There is no requirement to undertake audit work, making this particularly suitable for someone who wants to develop their career within accounts and general practice.

Around 3–4+ years' experience within a UK accountancy practice
AAT Level 4 qualification, or be studying towards ACA/ACCA
Strong experience preparing year-end accounts
