Audit & Accounts Senior - High Wycombe (HP11) - £47,000 to £52,000

If you're an Audit & Accounts Senior, you'll know there's no shortage of roles out there right now.
But finding one that actually offers progression, stability, and a genuinely good environment? That's a different story.

This opportunity with Seymour Taylor sits firmly in that category.

The firm - why people don't leave

Seymour Taylor are a long-established, independent firm in High Wycombe - but they're not standing still.
They've recently secured investment and are now working towards:

1. Becoming a Top 100 UK firm
2. Continued, sustainable growth without losing their culture

They've built a 49-person team with strong retention, and that tells you a lot.
This isn't a revolving door environment. It's somewhere people build careers.

The role - proper Audit & Accounts Senior exposure

This is a true Audit & Accounts Senior position, not one that leans too heavily one way.

You'll be:

1. Leading audits from planning through to completion
2. Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts
3. Managing client relationships and acting as a key point of contact
4. Delegating work to juniors and reviewing their output
5. Supporting and developing trainees
6. Managing your own time, budgets, and deadlines

There's real ownership here. You're trusted to run jobs and manage assignments, not just follow instructions.

What they're looking for

They're after a well-rounded Audit & Accounts Senior who can hit the ground running:

1. Around 5+ years' experience in practice
2. Strong audit experience, including leading assignments
3. Exposure to accounts preparation and compliance
4. Ideally ACA or ACCA qualified
5. Confident communicator with good client skills
6. Keen interest to develop training staff
7. Commercially aware and able to manage time effectively

They're also big on attitude - someone collaborative, reliable, and comfortable taking responsibility.

The environment - where this really stands out

This is a firm that's made a conscious effort to modernise how it works:

1. Hybrid working for seniors and above (1 day a week wfh)
2. Flexi-time - output matters more than rigid hours
3. Modern, open-plan office with breakout spaces and meeting hubs
4. Hot-desking setup with lockers and clean desk policy
5. Social environment with communal areas and a genuine team feel

It's professional, but not corporate. Structured, but not rigid.

Progression - not just a buzzword

One of the standout things here is progression.

Senior leadership have come through the business themselves - from trainee level upwards.
So when they talk about development, it's based on real experience, not just a line in a job ad.

If you're an Audit & Accounts Senior thinking about your next step, this is the kind of place where that next step is genuinely achievable.

The process

Clear and efficient:

1. Initial Teams conversation
2. Followed by a face-to-face interview and technical assessment

No unnecessary stages, no drawn-out timelines.

Why this role is worth considering

Because it offers a combination that's harder to find than it should be:

1. A stable, well-run firm
2. Genuine growth and opportunity
3. A modern, flexible working environment
4. A role with real responsibility and variety

For the right Audit & Accounts Senior, this isn't just a move - it's a step forward.
