About the Role and the Firm

This opportunity is with a long-established, reputable accountancy practice based in the Sheffield area, known for providing a comprehensive range of services to a loyal and diverse client base. The firm supports small and medium-sized businesses, family-owned companies, sole traders, partnerships, and self-employed individuals across sectors including trades, retail, professional services, hospitality, construction, and local service industries.

  • Support and mentor junior members of the team when required.

  • Maintain high standards of accuracy and compliance across all work.

  • Highly organised, proactive, and able to manage your workload independently.
