Senior Accountant

Senior Accountant

£50,000 - £56,000 + Genuine Career Progression Client-Focused Accountancy Practice in North London, South Hampstead

Accounts, Tax & Advisory Exposure

Fancy a role where you're not just churning through compliance work, but actually building something with your clients?

We're working with a well-regarded, growing accountancy practice on the hunt for an ambitious Senior Accountant. If you're ACA or ACCA qualified (or nearly there) and want more from your next move than another set of accounts to sign off, this is worth a proper look.

Why this one's different

Plenty of Senior roles are heads-down compliance. This isn't one of them. You'll get real exposure across accounts, tax, management information and advisory work, and you'll be working directly alongside Partners and Directors who actually want you developing, not just delivering.

What you'll be doing

Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies

Getting stuck into management accounts, budgets, forecasts and cashflow work

Reviewing bookkeeping and helping clients keep their own systems in good shape

Preparing and reviewing VAT returns and other compliance work

Corporation tax computations, deferred tax, and some personal tax

Giving clients genuinely useful commercial insight, not just number crunching

Building relationships where clients see you as their go-to adviser, not just their accountant

Reviewing trainees' work and helping them come on

Juggling deadlines across a varied portfolio without dropping the ball

Working alongside tax, audit and specialist teams to get the best outcome for clients

What you'll bring

ACA or ACCA qualified, or close to it

3-5 years in UK practice

Solid technical grounding across accounts and tax

Experience with owner-managed businesses and a mixed portfolio

Comfortable on Xero or QuickBooks (CaseWare is a bonus, not a must)

Sharp attention to detail and genuinely well organised

Confident talking to clients and building relationships, not just crunching numbers behind a screen

Ambitious and proactive, someone who wants to keep growing

What's in this Senior Accountant for you

£50,000 - £56,000 depending on experience

A varied, interesting portfolio spanning accounts, tax and advisory

Real progression, not just promises of it

Ongoing technical training and development

A team that backs you and notices when you do good work

Direct exposure to experienced Partners and Directors

The chance to build into a genuinely well-rounded adviser, not a one-trick compliance specialist
