

Preparation of accounts for both incorporated and unincorporated clients to partner

review stage 

Ownership and management of your own client portfolio across a wide range of

industries 

variety of topics 

Training and development of accounts clerks on technical issues and quality review 

Active involvement in several internal team projects to assist the practice in its

ongoing growth and development. This is not an ‘accounts only’ position.

qualifications. It is for this reason that we believe the ideal candidate will have at least 4

years experience working within an accountancy practice.

applicants with only ACCA professional level or ACA Advanced level exams remaining.
