About the Company

We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional financial guidance and a highly personalised service to our clients. As we continue to grow, we are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Accounts Assistant to join our team and develop their career within a supportive and dynamic practice.

Job Description

  • Strong IT skills, particularly with Excel, Word and accounting software (experience with Xero or similar preferred)
  • High attention to detail and strong numerical accuracy
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills
  • A proactive attitude with a willingness to learn and develop

Desirable

  • Previous work experience (including placement or internship) in an accountancy environment
  • Currently studying or planning to study ACCA, CIMA or a similar qualification

Benefits

  • Competitive salary
  • Study support package (for ACCA or equivalent)
  • Ongoing professional mentoring and exposure to a broad range of clients
  • Career development opportunities within a growing practice
