We are hiring into a key job role for a leading accountancy firm, offering a rare opportunity to join in a Manager position, with genuine support to help you develop to a future Partner or Director role if you want within a mixed Accounts and Audit job. This position is made more rare, considering the changes in this market over recent years, with many independent firms being consolidated into national brands, but this firm want to maintain their independence and can therefore offer the tangible opportunity to be a future Equity Partner / Director. They are equally happy to consider people who would prefer to stay in the management grade. This firm enjoy a strong flow of work, with regular referrals, so this is a new position in response to that workload and with one eye on the transition of the firm's leadership group. The team pretty much always work at home on a Friday, but the staff spend most of their time in the office, Monday to Thursday. With a flexible hours policy, you can work extra hours and bank those, with many people often building up the hours, so they can have a Friday afternoon off / early finish for the weekend. The audit element is circa 20% to 25%, with the rest of the work client management, general practice work, accounts, tax, advisory, client and staff management etc. OVERVIEW Available at Manager grade, the firm can also consider people ranging from Assistant Manager to Senior Manager in a role which involves accountancy, audit and varied general practice work as detailed below. The precise level of responsibility and salary will be dictated by your experience and qualification level and the role can also be tweaked to suit. You will work closely with other Managers in the firm, but have your own career route, personalised to your skills and ambitions. In terms of salary, they will be looking to pay competitively and reward the successful person with ongoing progression, real work-life balance and potential equity in the medium term. They offer flexible working, but the role is mostly office based. Main duties: Audit management from planning to completion Reviewing accounts for Sole traders, Partnerships and Limited companies and associated tax comps and CT600 s Submitting company accounts to Companies House and CT600 s to HMRC Reviewing bookkeeping and VAT returns Maintaining firms WIP spreadsheet Maintaining firms Staff planner in conjunction with WIP spreadsheet mentioned above Contributing to Planning meetings with Directors and managers Other duties could include: Preparing company accounts and corporation tax returns & Sole trader accounts with tax adjusted trading profit computations from original records and accounting software s Reviewing Corporate accounts and related tax computations and returns Independent examinations for Charities Accounts Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) audits Training and mentoring junior members of staff
