Chartered Accountant -Accounts and Audit
Posted 2 hours 2 minutes ago by HAYS
Your New Company
This isn't your average accountancy practice. You'll be joining a boutique advisory firm that's carved out a reputation for delivering strategic accounting, tax, and business solutions that actually make a difference. Their client list? Think high-profile UK and international owner-managed businesses, including names you'd recognise from the media and household brands. They don't just tick compliance boxes-they give clients the clarity and commercial insight to make bold, long-term decisions. If you're tired of being a cog in a big machine, this is where your expertise will matter.
Your New Role
You'll step into a Chartered Accountant role that's more than just crunching numbers. Here's a flavour of what you'll be doing:
- Preparing statutory and management accounts for clients who make headlines, not headaches.
- Delegating tasks and keeping junior team members on track (without turning into David Brent).
- Mentoring trainees and shaping the next generation of accountants.
- Spotting opportunities for improvement and challenging the "we've always done it this way" brigade.
- Supporting Partners and Senior Management with their client portfolios.
- Getting involved in ad hoc projects-due diligence, funding proposals, cash flow forecasting-because variety is the spice of life.
- Assisting with audit planning and execution.
- Working closely with the tax team and external professionals to keep things slick.
You'll probably have:
- ACA / ACCA qualification (or be close to it).
- A collaborative mindset but happy to fly solo when needed.
- Experience with accounting software like Xero, QuickBooks, IRIS, or CCH.
- Strong analytical chops and commercial awareness.
- Organisational skills that would make Marie Kondo proud.
- Communication skills that don't put people to sleep.
- A culture that values collaboration over corporate nonsense.
- Hybrid and flexible working-because life happens.
- A competitive salary that stacks up against the big firms.
- Modern offices and a social scene that's actually fun.
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays.
- Clear, rapid career progression
