Apply NowAccounts Senior | Eastbourne | £35,000 – £45,000
Client ownership from day one, not in three years' time.
A well-established Eastbourne practice is looking for an Accounts Senior to take on their own portfolio. The firm sits within a wider UK and Ireland accountancy group, so you get the technical resource and career structure of a large organisation while working in an office that has genuine local roots and knows its clients properly.
The client base is mostly owner-managed businesses and SMEs across a good spread of sectors. Relationship-led work rather than a production line.
What you'll be doing:
Running your own portfolio, from preparation through to review standard
Sole trader, partnership and limited company accounts
Year end accounts and VAT returns
Acting as the day-to-day contact for your clients, including closing meetings
Supporting and training junior members of the team
What you'll need:
ACCA, ACA or AAT qualified, part qualified, or qualified by experience
Solid current practice experience
Confident on Xero, QuickBooks or Sage
What's on offer:
£32,000 – £45,000 depending on experience and qualification
Study support where relevant
Clear route through to Assistant Manager
A varied portfolio with real ownership
Local firm feel, national group behind it
If you're a practice accountant in East Sussex who wants your own clients rather than a pile of jobs off a queue, this is worth a conversation
