Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom RECRUITMENTiQ Full time

RECRUITMENTiQ is working in partnership with a growing, client-focused accountancy practice dedicated to delivering high-quality accounts, tax and advisory services. We pride ourselves on building lasting relationships with our clients and supporting our team to develop their careers in a collaborative, professional environment.

We're expanding our Glasgow branch and need an experienced ACCA-qualified Practice Accountant who can hit the ground running. This is a portfolio-owning role where you'll deliver end-to-end compliance work with minimal supervision taking clients from trial balance through to signed accounts and filed returns, quickly and accurately.

If you thrive on autonomy, enjoy variety, and want to work somewhere you'll be valued, this could be the perfect next step.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare year-end and statutory accounts (limited companies, sole traders, partnerships) under UK GAAP
  • Produce management accounts, cashflow insights and KPI packs to support client decision-making
  • Prepare and e-file corporation tax returns (CT600 with iXBRL), VAT (Making Tax Digital compliant) and self-assessment returns
  • Use Xero daily for bookkeeping, reconciliations, workpaper reviews and Xero Tax submissions
  • Manage client queries professionally and ensure all deadlines (HMRC/Companies House) are met
  • Review and support junior team members whilst helping to improve internal processes
  • Identify legitimate, compliant tax planning opportunities for clients—capital allowances (AIA/Super-deductions), loss reliefs, R&D, director remuneration/dividends planning—within HMRC guidance and UK GAAP

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • ACCA qualified with full membership
  • Minimum 3 years' post-qualified experience (PQE) in a UK accountancy practice
  • Proven, hands-on experience with CT600 and Xero Tax e-filing (end-to-end, not just bookkeeping)
  • Ability to operate autonomously and pick up an existing portfolio quickly
  • Strong working knowledge of UK GAAP, VAT (including MTD) and SME taxation
  • Excellent communication, organisation and time-management skills
  • On-site only at our Glasgow branch

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary: £40,000–£45,000 depending on experience
  • 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays
  • Workplace pension scheme
  • Funded ACCA membership and CPD
  • On-site parking
  • Supportive, collaborative team with genuine opportunities for progression

How to Apply

Email your CV and a short cover note confirming::

  • Your ACCA membership number and year qualified

  • Years of post-qualified UK practice experience

  • Examples of CT600/Xero Tax e-filings you've handled end-to-end

  • Your notice period

It's an opportunity to take real ownership, work with interesting clients, and be part of a team that genuinely values your expertise. If you're an experienced accountant looking for a role where your skills will be recognised and your career progression supported, we'd love to hear from you.

Please send your up to date CV and cover letter for consideration.
