Our client
A well established audit and accounting firm that’s built a reputation for going above and beyond for their clients. From ambitious businesses and not-for-profits to private individuals, they provide tailored services including audit, assurance, accounts, tax, and advisory support.

But here’s the difference: they’re all about you. Your growth, your career, and your potential to make a real impact. That’s why they offer:

• A supportive, inclusive work environment where your input and ideas are valued.

The Role:
As a Business Services Senior, you’ll work closely with managers to prepare statutory accounts for UK SMEs, handle bookkeeping (primarily on Xero), and manage VAT returns. Alongside this, you’ll play a key role in guiding trainees, sharing your knowledge, and ensuring we deliver exceptional service to every client.

• Preparing statutory accounts (FRS102 1A and FRS105) and group accounts.
• Working with bookkeeping, management accounts, and VAT returns on Xero and Sage.
• Liaising confidently with clients to resolve queries and deliver timely solutions.
• Managing workloads, meeting deadlines, and staying on top of budgets.
• Supporting trainees through on the job training and work reviews.
• Identifying opportunities for additional client support or cross-selling services.

What We’re Looking For:
We’re after someone with strong technical skills, a proactive mindset, and a passion for client service. Ideally, you’ll have:

• 3+ years’ experience in a similar role.
• Be ACA/ACCA qualified or nearing completion of your qualification.
• Confidence working with accounting software like Xero, Sage, and Microsoft Office.
• A knack for solving problems and delivering clear, practical advice.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong client relationships.
• A driving licence for local travel when required.

What We Offer:

• A full-time position with 37.5 hours per week.
• Structured internal training and mentoring to develop your skills.
• A welcoming, collaborative team environment where you can thrive.
