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.
