Assistant Accountant

A modern and friendly accounting firm with a sociable and welcoming team are looking to appoint a qualified AAT Accounts Assistant or equivalent to their team, based on the outskirts of Washington/Gateshead.

As they continue to offer a first class service they are enjoying a large amount of referral business and as such need to expand.  Bringing to the position previous (and current) experience from an accounting firm you will be involved in the following:

• Preparation of statutory accounts for limited companies, partnerships and sole traders
• Preparation of corporation tax computations
• Completion of quarterly VAT returns and related bookkeeping
• Preparation of management accounts

Using both Sage and Xero we would ideally like the successful candidate to be familiar with one if not both of these accounting packages.

As you work closely with the rest of the team, further development is readily available, supporting your technical knowledge and softer skills when dealing with clients.

Future study towards ACCA/ACA is also available for the right applicant.

An attractive salary package including bonus is on offer along with flexible hours. Please note this is a role primarily office based but does come with some flexibility for home working.
