Accounts Assistant
£24-30,000 | Full-time | Permanent
North tyneside | BGC2398AC
The Firm:
If you’re looking for a firm that’s friendly, modern, and growing steadily across the North East, this is a great opportunity to develop your career in practice.
Our client has a relaxed and down-to-earth culture, where the team work hard, support each other, and enjoy what they do. Based just north of Newcastle city centre, their office offers a welcoming environment and — as an added bonus — an early Friday finish.
The Role:
We’re looking for an AAT part-qualified Accounts Assistant with at least 2 years’ experience in practice. You will ideally be familiar with preparing year-end accounts, VAT returns, and you may also have some exposure to payroll and tax returns. Experience with cloud-based software such as Xero and Sage will be important.
The role offers plenty of variety, with opportunities to work closely with clients and continue building your technical knowledge. Support is available if you’re studying towards your next exams, but equally this is a role where practical experience and enthusiasm are valued just as highly.
This is an excellent step for someone who enjoys working in a collaborative team, wants to deepen their expertise, and is looking for a long-term career with a growing practice.
Experience Required:
A minimum of 2 years’ experience within an accountancy firm
Working knowledge of accounts preparation and VAT returns
Familiarity with cloud accounting software, ideally Xero and Sage
A proactive, positive approach with the ability to work as part of a close-knit team
Good communication skills
Benefits:
In addition to being part of a supportive and growing firm, you’ll enjoy a relaxed office culture and the perk of finishing early on a Friday — making for a better work-life balance. Opportunities are plentiful and you will really see development in your experience.
Standard AE pension, 25 days holiday, free parking, access to subsidised gym and canteen.
