Job title: Accounts Assistant

Your new company

You’ll be joining a well-established accountancy practice located in the heart of Glasgow. Known for its collaborative culture and low staff turnover, the firm has built a strong reputation over the years by supporting a diverse range of clients across various industries. As part of a growing team, you’ll be welcomed into a supportive environment where your development is genuinely valued.


Your new role

As a Trainee Accountant, you’ll gain hands-on experience across a broad spectrum of accounting tasks. You’ll be involved in preparing year-end accounts for limited companies, sole traders, and partnerships, as well as managing bookkeeping using cloud-based platforms like Xero and Sage. You’ll also take responsibility for preparing VAT returns and supporting senior colleagues with ad-hoc projects and client queries. This role offers a varied workload and the chance to build strong foundations in both technical and client-facing aspects of accountancy.


What you'll need to succeed

To thrive in this role, you’ll need at least two years’ experience within a UK accountancy practice and be actively studying towards a recognised accountancy qualification. A keen eye for detail, strong analytical skills, and a naturally inquisitive mindset will serve you well. You’ll also be a confident communicator who enjoys working as part of a team, but is equally comfortable managing tasks independently.


What you'll get in return

You’ll benefit from a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package. The firm offers genuine opportunities for career progression and exposure to a wide variety of clients and industries. You’ll be working in a friendly and inclusive environment, with a convenient city centre location that makes commuting easy.
