Senior Accountant - Practice | £45,000 - £55,000 | Winchmore Hill, North London

A well-established, medium-sized accountancy practice in Winchmore Hill, North London is seeking an experienced Accounts Senior to join their growing team. This is an excellent opportunity to step into a technically demanding, hands-on role within a supportive yet fast-paced environment.

About the Firm:

• Long-standing, reputable practice with 2-3 partners and approx. 40 staff

• Broad and diverse client base, including medium and larger owner-managed businesses

• Friendly, professional working culture with strong focus on technical excellence

The Role:Reporting into a highly experienced Accounts Senior, this is a technically focused position where you will be expected to work independently, taking ownership of the full accounts process from start to finish. Responsibilities include:

• Preparing final accounts with full working papers

• Balance sheet reconciliations and variance analysis

• Preparing corporation tax computations

• Liaising directly with clients and resolving queries

• Analytical reviews and general client reporting

• Collaborating with outsourcing teams and meeting reporting deadlines

Who We’re Looking For:

• ACA/ACCA qualified or qualified by experience

• Extensive technical knowledge of accounts preparation - this is not a training role; you will need to hit the ground running

• Solid experience preparing accounts for medium-sized businesses, not just sole traders or micro entities

• Strong client communication skills and ability to manage your own workload with minimal supervision

• Advanced Excel skills are essential

• Experience using IRIS, VT+, Xero, and Sage is desirable (QuickBooks knowledge is a bonus)

Ideal Background:

• Experience in a practice of similar size (2-3 partners, 30-50 staff)

• Candidates from very small practices may lack the technical exposure required

• Candidates from large national firms may lack the broad experience needed for this more generalist role

Package:

• Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 DOE

• Immediate/short notice start preferred

• Excellent opportunity to learn under a very capable senior and develop further technical depth

If you are a technically strong accountant looking to join a friendly and ambitious firm where you’ll be given responsibility and autonomy, we’d love to hear from you.
