    Accounts Semi-Senior

    Haywards Heath, West Sussex Hybrid

    Location: Haywards Heath, West Sussex (hybrid) Salary: Competitive, depending on experience Contract: Permanent, full time Qualification: Part-qualified AAT, ACA or ACCA (or studying)

    Part way through your exams and ready for more responsibility? This Haywards Heath role gives you your own clients, a real variety of work and a firm that takes your development seriously.

    ABOUT THE FIRM

    My client is a well-established local practice that's part of a large UK and Ireland accountancy and business advisory group. It's a friendly, close-knit office, but you've got the training, resources and specialist colleagues of a much bigger organisation behind you, which is a great setup when you're still building your skills.

    THE ROLE

    You'll prepare year-end accounts and tax computations for a portfolio of sole traders, partnerships and limited companies, working closely with the seniors and managers. There's also some audit fieldwork, so you get a broader grounding than a pure accounts role. As you grow, you'll start helping the juniors too.

    WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

    • Preparing year-end accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies

    • Preparing personal and corporation tax computations

    • Helping with corporation tax and VAT returns

    • Supporting audit engagements, including fieldwork

    • Dealing directly with clients by phone and email

    • Helping and guiding junior team members WHO THIS WILL SUIT

    • Part-qualified AAT, ACA or ACCA, or actively studying

    • Previous experience in an accountancy practice

    • Confident with Excel and Microsoft Office

    • Organised, accurate and happy juggling deadlines

    • Friendly and comfortable talking to clients WHAT'S ON OFFER

    • Hybrid working

    • Genuine scope for career growth as you progress through your exams

    • Mixed accounts, tax and audit experience

    • 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to buy up to 5 more

    • Office closure over Christmas

    • Life assurance at 4x salary, pension, and enhanced family leave and sick pay GET IN TOUCH

    If you're a semi-senior in Mid Sussex, or an AAT or ACCA student with practice experience looking for the next step, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me a line for a confidential chat.
