Do you have ample experience of managing clients and services for an accountancy firm? Are you qualified ACCA, ACA or qualified by experience? Do you want to be seen, to be part of real team?

Reed Practice is delighted to be partnering with a highly respected independent chartered accountancy firm that has successfully supported businesses across East Anglia for over 30 years.

Combining a long-established reputation with a modern, forward-thinking approach, the firm has continually evolved with the sector, embracing the latest technologies and systems to deliver an exceptional service to its clients. Proudly independent, with a clear vision for the future, they remain committed to maintaining their autonomy and strong local presence.

This is an opportunity for the Senior Accountant to become a valued and influential member of the firm, rather than just another number. You will work closely with the Partners, gaining direct exposure to their expertise while collaborating with a knowledgeable, high-calibre team in a supportive and professional environment.

The Senior Partner has a genuine long-term vision for the successful candidate. With succession planning being considered in preparation for a future Partner retirement, there is a clear and realistic opportunity for progression within the firm for an ambitious individual.

The role of the practice Senior Accountant is a varied one, working with clients who range from individuals requiring tax services, business start-ups, SMEs, OMBs to substantial partnerships and larger entities, undertaking –

• Preparing and reviewing statutory year-end accounts on CCH for a wide range of clients, including limited companies, sole traders, groups, LLPs, charities and other not-for-profit organisations to FRS 102, 102 1a and FRS 105.
• Acting as a key point of contact for clients, building strong relationships and providing tailored advice where appropriate.
• Ensuring assignments are completed to a high standard and within agreed deadlines.
• Preparing and reviewing self-assessment tax returns, corporation tax returns and VAT returns.
• Supporting and mentoring trainee accountants, sharing knowledge and encouraging their development.

This is a fully office-based position and is therefore unlikely to suit candidates seeking hybrid or remote working arrangements. In return, you will receive a highly competitive salary, 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, pension contributions, and a comprehensive benefits package.

Applications are welcomed from experienced accountancy practice professionals currently providing accounts and tax services to a portfolio of clients. Qualified candidates (ACA/ACCA or equivalent) are encouraged to apply, although individuals with significant relevant practice experience will also be considered.
