Senior Accountant (Chartered Accountants)

Bolton

£45,000 -£55,000

The Opportunity:

If you have a proven background of working at a firm of Accountants you won't find many better opportunities like this in the local market.

The owner of this firm is looking to hire an experienced individual that can operate as her 'number 2'…..still involved in the day-to-day accounts but operating as the manager across the team.

The opportunity is unique…. whether you want a clear path to becoming a partner or you simply want to operate as a senior within the firm with more exposure to the strategic decision making this role can offer it all

The firm:

They are forward-thinking; known for offering a fresh, modern approach to accountancy. Not your typical corporate practice - they pride themselves on being approachable, personable and genuinely invested in their clients…..the owner explained "its our personal touch that makes us difference."

Currently a team of 8 the firm has plans to grow; and with a recent full renovation of their offices this appointment is the latest step in improving on the brilliant business they already have.

You wont be micro managed, accountable to shareholders or have to navigate red tape every day - it's the complete opposite the firm prides itself on everyone pulling in the same direction, supporting each other and working to a common goal of ensuring that the clients are treated right….while ensuring the firm is a place people enjoy turning up to every day.

The career options….there are 2.

1. If you are striving to become partner, wanting to know that in the future you can have some equity share with incentives on how the business performs that role is here. You would be joining as the number 2 so there would be nobody in your way to stunt or prevent your growth. You would get all the support and mentoring you need to get you to where you wanted to be.

Or

1. You are an experienced practice accountant that wants to utilise your experience in a local firm, where you can do a great job but switch off at the end of the day, safe in the knowledge your clients are happy and you won't be frowned at for closing your laptop dead on home time!

The role:

This will be a mixed role…but there is the opportunity to shape it slightly to favour the areas you enjoy the most. As the Senior naturally you will be focusing on the firms key clients, producing the year end and management accounts. You will lead and mentor the apprentice and trainees, and provide a support function and sounding board for the more experienced team members.

You will be encouraged to bring your own ideas and suggestion to the table, the owner is a big believer in the team having an input on how the business is run and where they make changes.

Experience needed:

To be considered you must have previous experience in a UK firm of accountants - we are not considering applications from industry. You will be looking for a firm where you can have a long term future, and you will bring a positive and hard working mentality.

Additional Information:

This role will predominantly be based in their Bolton office with free parking on site. You will be required to do some occasional travelling to their Garstang office (although this will be limited).
