Job Description

NXTGEN is thrilled to be partnering with an ambitious and expanding accountancy firm in Ipswich to recruit a Senior Accountant. This is a rare opportunity for someone seeking a refreshing alternative to the traditional practice role - offering a supportive, professional, and laid-back environment, exposure to more complex, hands-on work, and the freedom to shape your career around your ambitions.

Founded just over 10 years ago, the firm has grown rapidly, building a strong reputation and a loyal client base. What sets them apart is the breadth of services they provide: alongside the full range of accountancy services, they deliver Finance Director-level support, offering strategic insight and working in true partnership with clients to help their businesses thrive. As Senior Accountant, you'll work closely with the founder and play a key role in supporting a varied client portfolio. This is a brand-new position created as a result of growth, giving you the unique opportunity to shape the role around your skills, interests, and career goals.

Key Responsibilities

  • Preparing accounts and management reports for a diverse portfolio of clients
  • Supporting the delivery of Finance Director services, offering strategic advice and insight
  • Building strong relationships with business owners and decision-makers, resolving queries and adding value
  • Reviewing work prepared by junior colleagues to ensure accuracy and compliance
  • Advising clients on efficiencies and process improvements
  • Contributing ideas to support the firm's growth and future development

What We're Looking For

  • ACA / ACCA / CIMA part-qualified, finalist, newly qualified, or QBE
  • Previous experience in an accountancy practice, or practice-trained candidates from industry considering a return
  • Strong technical knowledge across accounts preparation and management reporting
  • A confident communicator, capable of building trusted client relationships
  • Ambitious and driven, with the desire to grow alongside the firm

What's On Offer

  • Full study support for ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualifications of your choice
  • Free parking
  • Two performance-related bonuses per year, plus commission opportunities
  • A supportive, refreshing culture that promotes a healthy work-life balance
  • Uncapped progression opportunities with a clear route to grow alongside the firm

If you're looking for a dynamic, hands-on role in a growing practice, where no two days are the same and your contribution is truly valued, this could be the perfect fit.
