Senior Accountant – Altrincham

Looking for your next move in practice?

We’re working with an established, independent accountancy practice in Altrincham that’s looking to add an experienced Senior Accountant to its growing team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety that comes with working in practice — managing a portfolio of clients, getting involved in more complex work and building strong relationships along the way.

You’ll be joining a professional but personable team, working with a varied client base and having the opportunity to develop your career within a well-established practice.

 

What will you be doing?

Your role will be varied, with responsibility across a portfolio of clients.

You’ll be involved in:

  • Preparing year-end accounts and financial statements

  • Managing your own portfolio of clients

  • Supporting clients with accounting, tax and compliance queries

  • Preparing work for a range of businesses and industries

  • Reviewing accounts and supporting junior members of the team

  • Assisting with audit work where required

  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships

  • Working closely with managers and partners on client work

It’s a role where you’ll have real client contact and ownership, rather than simply being another pair of hands within the practice.

 

What are they looking for?

You’ll ideally already be working within an accountancy practice and have solid experience managing accounts for a range of clients.

You’ll also bring:

  • Strong accounts preparation experience

  • Good knowledge of UK accounting standards and tax

  • Experience working with a varied client portfolio

  • The confidence to deal directly with clients

  • Experience reviewing work or supporting more junior team members

  • Strong attention to detail and organisation

  • ACA, ACCA or equivalent qualification preferred, although relevant experience will also be considered

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys working with clients, taking responsibility and being part of a team.

 

Why consider it?

This is an opportunity to join a practice that has built a strong reputation over many years, while still offering a modern and forward-thinking approach to its clients and its people.

You’ll get:

  • A competitive salary

  • A supportive and friendly team

  • Ongoing training and development

  • Pension and generous holiday entitlement

  • The opportunity to broaden your experience

  • Clear scope to progress your career

  • A varied client portfolio and plenty of client interaction

If you’re an experienced practice accountant in or around Altrincham and are starting to think about your next move, this could be a really good opportunity to take that next step.
