Job Description

Our client is seeking a qualified Accountant with extensive experience in tax and compliance. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in Client Accounting or Senior Bookkeeping to a high level. Our client values high-quality and accurate bookkeeping as the foundation of their services and business. The majority of clients are local sole traders and SMEs, and the successful candidate is expected to have a personable nature and a "get-up-and-go" attitude. Familiarity with accounting software is essential, ideally including Xero, although experience with Sage or QuickBooks is also acceptable. Those who have only worked with internal or purpose-built systems may not be suitable for this role. The client is looking for an individual who can assist in the opening and establishment of a second office in the coming months.

However, significant elements require human judgment, client interaction, and strategic input, which resist full automation.
