Up to £30,000 depending on experience and qualification
Full time | 37.5 hours per week | Diss

Are you AAT Level 4 qualified, or close to completing it, and looking for the next step in your accountancy career?

Michelle Denny Recruitment is recruiting an Accounts Assistant for an accountancy practice in Diss, offering the opportunity to build on your existing experience, take on more responsibility and continue developing your career within a supportive team.

You'll work with a varied client base across accounts preparation, bookkeeping, VAT and financial reporting, so we're looking for someone with a good grounding in accountancy who is also comfortable communicating with clients and building relationships.

Experience within an accountancy practice would be particularly useful.

What you'll be doing

Working closely with senior colleagues across the team, your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies

• Bookkeeping, processing transactions and reconciling accounts

• Preparing VAT returns and supporting clients with digital record keeping

• Assisting with management accounts and other financial reporting

• Communicating directly with clients to gather information and answer queries

• Preparing accurate working papers and maintaining high quality files

• Using accounting software including Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and CCH

• Supporting colleagues and the wider team during busy periods

What you'll bring

Ideally, you'll be AAT Level 4 qualified or nearing completion, with relevant accountancy experience and a good grounding in accounts preparation.

You'll also have:

• Good attention to detail and a methodical approach

• Confidence using cloud based accounting software and Excel

• Good communication skills and the confidence to deal with clients

• An organised, proactive approach to managing your workload

• A willingness to learn and continue developing your accountancy career

Experience within an accountancy practice would be helpful, but isn't essential. Your attitude, ability and appetite to develop are equally important.

What's on offer

Salary: Up to £30,000 depending on experience and qualification

Benefits: An excellent all round benefits package
Hours: 37.5 hours per week, full time
Location: Diss

Alongside the salary, you'll join a friendly, people focused environment where development is encouraged, with ongoing training, mentoring and opportunities for further study and career progression.

You'll also have access to specialist expertise across the wider business, giving you the opportunity to broaden your knowledge and experience as your career develops.

Interested?

If you're AAT Level 4 qualified or getting close to completing it and this sounds like the sort of next step you're looking for, I'd be very happy to tell you more.
