Accounts Semi Senior

Real Technical Grounding While You Study – Semi Senior Accountant (ACA/ACCA Study Support), Warrington, £30,000 – £35,000 DOE + Funded Study Support If you have a few years general practice experience under your belt and you're ready for a firm that will actually teach you the 'why', not just hand you software to run, this is an opportunity to consider.

A well-established, family-run firm of chartered accountants in Warrington is looking for a Semi Senior to join its close-knit accounts team, working directly alongside experienced directors on a varied, high-net-worth client base.

It's a genuinely hands-on role — you'll get involved from bank analysis right through to draft accounts — with study costs funded in full, whether you're continuing towards ACA or ACCA. Semi Senior Accountant (ACA/ACCA Study Support) – This Role Is Ideal For a Semi Senior Who:

Has around at least 4 years general practice experience already (this isn't a first job in accountancy) and is studying, or about to start studying, towards ACA or ACCA

Wants genuine breadth — handling a client's accounts from source records through to completion — rather than one narrow slice of a bigger process

Values hands-on mentoring from experienced directors and a firm that funds study

Semi Senior Accountant (ACA/ACCA Study Support) – About the Firm This is a well-established, family-run firm of chartered accountants in Warrington, with a loyal client base built on long-standing relationships, including a number of high-net-worth UK and offshore clients.

The role has opened up because the directors have been absorbing extra work as long-serving colleagues have moved on or retired, and they've now reached the point where they need another capable pair of hands.
