Client Accountant (Practice, Accounts & VAT focus) Norwich (Hybrid) £30,000 to £38,000 FTE Most practice roles quietly push you away from the books the moment you're any good at them. This one does the opposite. If bookkeeping and VAT are where you do your best work, and you'd rather build on that than escape it, keep reading. The firm A well-established Norwich practice with an impressive clientbase across the UK, and a portfolio that doesn't look like everyone else's. Think owner-managed SMEs, entrepreneurs, charities, CICs and purpose-led businesses that measure success by more than the bottom line. The work runs well past compliance too, into R&D tax, carbon accounting, ESG reporting and fractional CFO support. They're also ahead of the curve on how the work actually gets done. AI tooling is built into the daily routine, an offshore partner handles a slice of the bookkeeping and accounts production, and the leadership team has real technical weight behind it. The role Hands-on, and proudly so. Bookkeeping and VAT are the core of the job, not a phase you're expected to grow out of. Day to day, the bookkeeping reaches you three ways. Some you'll do yourself, for the clients where the detail demands a human. Some comes through AI tools, where you review, correct and put your name to the output. And some is delivered by the offshore team, where you supervise, quality-check and carry the result. Whichever route it takes, the standard doesn't move. On top of that, you'll handle: VAT compliance under MTD, covering standard, flat rate, partial exemption and OSS where it applies Year-end accounts prepared to review-ready standard under FRS 102 1A and FRS 105 Corporation tax computations and CT600 returns Straightforward self-assessment returns (SA100) for directors and individuals Managing your own client portfolio, from meetings and deadlines to correspondence and spotting upsell opportunities Supervising and quality-controlling the offshore bookkeeping work Who it suits Someone who trained in practice and is still in the work, not watching it from a distance. You see bookkeeping as the thing that makes everything else possible, not a box you've already ticked. More specifically: Solid working knowledge of UK VAT, FRS 102/105 and corporation tax, earned in practice rather than industry MAAT qualified, or part-ACCA/ACA with study actively underway Still delivering bookkeeping yourself, through AI tools, or by overseeing an offshore team Able to prepare review-ready limited company accounts and CT returns on your own Genuinely client-facing, comfortable on camera and able to run a meeting without a safety net Used to supervising others and handling rework in a constructive way Confident in cloud accounting: Xero, FreeAgent or QuickBooks What's on offer £30,000 to £38,000 FTE, depending on experience and qualifications Fully funded BUPA healthcare insurance Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme Profit-sharing bonus scheme 30 to 33 days' holiday inclusive of bank holidays (pro-rata, based on working pattern, effective 1 July 2026) Study support for ongoing ACCA/ACA qualifications Hybrid and flexible working after probation Workplace pension Cycle to work scheme A lovely office with great transport links A clear path into a fully autonomous account management role How to apply Get in touch with Lydia at ProTalent.
