Experience Required:

  • AAT part or fully qualified or with equivalent experience

  • Competent with quarterly VAT returns.

  • Exposure to management accounts is a bonus

  • Able to manage time effectively across multiple tasks and clients

  • Comfortable working independently while also being a team player

  • Clear and friendly communication skills with both clients and colleagues

Benefits:

  • Flexible hours – full-time or part-time - both can be accommodated

  • Hybrid working available once you're settled into the role

  • A friendly, traditional office with a relaxed, people-first approach

  • Free parking and accessible via public transport

  • 25 days holiday (pro rata) plus bank holidays

  • Auto-enrolment pension scheme
