Job description

Job Profile for Senior Accounts Assistant 47181

Package: Competitive salary (dependent on experience), free on-site parking, workplace pension scheme, and a minimum of 22 days holiday (plus statutory bank holidays)

Working Hours: Full-time, Monday to Thursday 08:30 - 17:00 (half-hour lunch), Friday 08:30 - 14:00 (working straight through with an early Friday finish)

A new opening is available for an experienced Senior Practice Accountant / Bookkeeping Team Leader to join an established, independent accountancy practice.

Our department has gained momentum through rapid expansion, managing a diverse and growing portfolio of client accounts. Operating from a scenic, two-story barn conversion next to a canal, our office is extremely busy and fast-paced. As we continue to scale, we are looking for a confident, "hands-on" professional who is ready to take full ownership of leading our bookkeeping team and delivering top-tier accounting services.

This role is well-suited to an organized, senior-level professional with solid UK public practice experience and a strong "can-do" attitude. Because this position involves directly supervising and coordinating our in-office team, it is 100% office-based. We are focused on your ability to work on your own initiative, monitor workflows, support a collaborative environment, and deliver accurate records. If you are a detail-focused professional looking for a varied, leadership role with an excellent work-life balance, then this is the role for you.

Senior Accounts Assistant Job Responsibilities

  • Manage and monitor the daily workloads and prioritization of a dedicated team of junior accounts assistants and bookkeepers.
  • Oversee the preparation of quarterly VAT returns, ensuring absolute accuracy across the department.
  • Personally handle complex client compliance matters, including VAT registrations and deregistration's.
  • Prepare and review precise quarterly management accounts and year-end records suitable for partner review.
  • Assist with the preparation and filing of personal tax returns (Self-Assessments) for individuals, sole traders, and directors.
  • Act as a key point of contact for clients, resolving queries and delivering exceptional face-to-face and telephone service.
  • Support the wider team environment, maintaining high professional standards and ensuring all external deadlines are comfortably met.

Senior Accounts Assistant Requirements

  • A minimum of 3 to 5 years of dedicated experience within a UK public accountancy practice is essential.
  • Prior experience supervising, mentoring, or coordinating a small team is highly desirable.
  • Strong technical knowledge of bookkeeping, VAT schemes, quarterly accounts, and basic personal tax is required.
  • Ideally AAT Level 4 qualified or possessing equivalent practice-based experience.
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills, with a commitment to accuracy, quality, and supporting team members.
  • Must hold a valid driving licence and have access to a vehicle (essential due to our semi-rural office location with no public bus routes).
  • Must hold valid United Kingdom work authorization and be fluent in English.
  • Able to comfortably commute to the office near Kingswinford / Stourbridge (DY6) for a full-time, office-based role.

Senior Accounts Assistant Salary & Benefits

  • Competitive pay dependent on experience.
  • Workplace pension scheme.
  • Minimum of 22 days holiday to start (plus bank holidays).
  • Outstanding work-life balance with an early finish at 14:00 every Friday.
  • Beautiful, modern office environment in a two-story barn conversion.
  • Free on-site parking.
