Practice Accountant

Practice Accountant £30,000 – £40,000 DOE | Bury | Permanent Sponsorship is not available for this position

A practice where you're valued for more than just the numbers. If you're an experienced practice accountant and you're ready for a role where you can take ownership, build genuine client relationships and have a voice within the team, this could be an opportunity worth exploring.

This established accountancy practice has built a strong reputation for its client service and, importantly, for creating an environment where people genuinely enjoy working. With a supportive team, low staff turnover and a strong focus on work-life balance, it's the kind of practice where people can build a long-term career rather than simply move from one role to the next.

What you'll be doing You'll manage a varied portfolio of clients and take real ownership of their accounts and tax affairs, including:

Preparing accounts for limited companies, sole traders and partnerships

Personal and business tax work

VAT returns, bookkeeping and management accounts

Building and maintaining strong client relationships

Advising clients where appropriate and becoming a trusted point of contact

Getting involved in tax planning, advisory work and wider practice development

You'll have plenty of variety, with the opportunity to broaden your technical and commercial experience rather than being restricted to one area of practice.

What we're looking for We're interested in hearing from experienced practice accountants who have:

4+ years' recent UK accountancy practice experience

Strong technical knowledge and excellent attention to detail

Confidence dealing directly with clients

Strong communication and relationship-building skills

A proactive, practical approach to problem-solving

A genuine desire to be part of a close-knit, collaborative team

Professional qualifications are welcomed, but they're not the deciding factor. Experience, attitude and the ability to build trusted client relationships are equally important.

Why consider it? £30,000 – £40,000 depending on experience

Bury office with parking

Full or part-time options available

Genuine opportunities to develop your skills and progress

Supportive, close-knit team with low staff turnover

Generous holiday allowance

A strong focus on work-life balance

Interested in finding out more? This could suit someone who enjoys the variety of practice but wants to work somewhere that genuinely values its people and gives them the opportunity to develop.
