Want your own client portfolio, partners who know you by name, and a firm that doesn t expect you at your desk at 8pm?
A well-established firm of Chartered Accountants in Uckfield is looking for an Accounts Senior to join its accounts team. It still has the personal feel of a long-standing independent practice, but it s now part of a larger, growing group. That means real investment, specialists to lean on and more room to progress than you d usually find in a firm this size.

- Preparing year-end and management accounts for owner-managed businesses and SMEs
- Preparing corporation tax computations and returns, with some personal tax work
- Reviewing bookkeeping records and sorting out discrepancies
- Supporting managers and partners on more complex assignments
- Helping to develop junior members of the team
What you ll need
- Accounts preparation experience in UK practice, ideally running your own portfolio
- AAT qualified, part-qualified ACA or ACCA, or equivalent practical experience
- Sound knowledge of UK accounting standards
- Good organisation and confidence dealing with clients
What s on offer
- Salary up to £45,000
- Hybrid working
- No late-hours culture
- Approachable partners and managers, many of whom started out as trainees themselves
- A development path built around you, backed by the wider group
- CPD throughout the year, and you can put forward courses you d like to do
- A sociable team with its own social club
