About the Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Accountant to join a growing, forward-thinking organisation with an international client base.

This is a varied, client-facing role offering the chance to manage a portfolio of UK and overseas clients while providing high-quality accounting, compliance and advisory services. You'll join a collaborative team where innovation, continuous improvement and professional development are genuinely encouraged.

The Role

As a Senior Accountant, you'll take ownership of your own client portfolio, acting as a trusted adviser and ensuring the delivery of accurate, timely and commercially focused accounting services. Working closely with colleagues across the business, you'll provide technical expertise, build lasting client relationships and support organisations operating across multiple jurisdictions.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a portfolio of UK and international clients, building strong long-term relationships and delivering an exceptional client experience.

• Prepare and review statutory accounts, management accounts, reconciliations and supporting journals in accordance with UK GAAP.

• Complete UK compliance work, including VAT returns, Corporation Tax returns and statutory filings.

• Provide technical accounting advice for multi-entity and international businesses while supporting complex client requirements.

• Work collaboratively with colleagues and external partners to deliver accurate, high-quality work within agreed deadlines.

• Review technical outputs, mentor junior team members and contribute to maintaining high service standards.

• Support proposals, onboarding activities and client meetings by providing technical expertise where required.

• Maintain accurate client records and identify opportunities to improve processes, efficiencies and service delivery.

About You

You will be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified (or equivalent) with at least three years' post-qualified experience in a client-facing accounting role. You'll have strong technical knowledge of UK GAAP, VAT, Corporation Tax and statutory compliance, together with experience supporting multi-entity businesses.

You'll be an excellent communicator with strong organisational skills, commercial awareness and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. Experience using technology, data and AI tools to improve efficiency and client outcomes is highly desirable.

Experience supporting international businesses, advisory services, group structures, consolidations, multi-currency reporting and cloud-based accounting systems would be advantageous but is not essential.

Why Apply?

This is an excellent opportunity to join an ambitious and growing organisation where you'll enjoy genuine autonomy, exposure to a diverse client portfolio and the opportunity to make a real impact. In return, you'll become part of a collaborative team that values innovation, supports professional development and offers excellent long-term career prospects.

Diversity & Inclusion

Our client is committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone is treated fairly, respected and given the opportunity to succeed. Applications are welcomed from candidates of all backgrounds and experiences.

Junior Client Accountant (AAT Level 4) | Eastbourne | £30,000 – £35,000

If you're AAT qualified, enjoy client work and want a clear route into managing your own portfolio, this is a good one to look at.

A growing, forward-thinking practice in Eastbourne is looking for an AAT Level 4 accountant to join their accounts team and support the Client Managers. The firm is expanding through organic growth and acquisition, and there's a genuine pathway here from Junior Client Accountant through to Client Manager as your experience builds.

You'll get real variety, hands-on client contact and the kind of exposure that helps you grow rather than keeping you stuck on one task.

What you'll be doing:

• Preparing statutory accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
• Preparing corporation tax computations and supporting schedules
• Handling bookkeeping reviews and VAT returns
• Producing monthly and quarterly management accounts
• Preparing Self Assessment returns and liaising with HMRC where needed

• Ongoing training and a modern, cloud-based (Xero) working environment
• Full-time, Monday to Friday

Ideal for someone with a couple of years' practice experience who's ready to take more ownership and build a long-term career.
