Ideal 1st move for a newly qualified ACA or ACCA

Your new company

Join a modern, ambitious accountancy practice that partners with fast‑growing SMEs and international groups. This is a firm where you’re trusted, listened to, and encouraged to bring ideas — not just crunch numbers.

Your new role
As a Financial Accountant, you’ll take ownership of a varied client portfolio and deliver high‑quality financial reporting that actually means something to the people running the business.
You’ll be:
  • Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts under FRS 102
  • Producing sharp, insight‑led monthly and quarterly management accounts
  • Strengthening balance sheet controls and reviewing reconciliations
  • Handling VAT returns and day‑to‑day compliance
  • Building cashflow forecasts and financial analysis clients will love
  • Streamlining processes and supporting cloud migrations (Xero/QBO/Sage Intacct)
  • Working closely with Tax, Audit and Payroll to deliver a seamless service
    You’ll quickly become a trusted point of contact for finance leads and business owners who want clear answers — not jargon.
What you’ll need to succeed
  • ACA/ACCA qualified
  • Strong technical grounding in UK GAAP (FRS 102); IFRS a bonus
  • Confident preparing and reviewing statutory + management accounts
  • Good VAT knowledge and practical compliance experience
  • Solid experience with cloud accounting platforms
  • Proactive, organised and comfortable advising senior stakeholders
What you’ll get in return
A genuinely supportive firm where progression is encouraged, ideas are welcomed, and flexibility is standard. You’ll work with interesting, growing businesses and continue building your technical and commercial toolkit — without the long‑hours culture.
