AJ Chambers are actively seeking an Audit and Accounts Senior or Semi-senior to join a leading local accountancy firm based in Eastbourne.
The role:
• Audit and accounts senior reporting to managers and, in some instances, directly to partners.
• Client facing - lots of opportunities to meet with clients during audit fieldwork and at planning/closing meetings.
• Providing guidance and support to more junior colleagues.
• A mixture of audit and accounts. We prepare the accounts for many of our audit clients, so a strong understanding of reporting standards is essential.
• Strong IT skills will be a given, especially in MS office products such as Excel and Word.
• We currently use Caseware Accounts Production and Audit - knowledge of Caseware would be an advantage, but training will be provided.
The Ideal Candidate:
• Candidates will be motivated, hard-working, and will come from a practice background with an appropriate professional qualification (ACA or ACCA, AAT) or working towards qualification.
• They will be able to demonstrate good practical accountancy and communication skills.
• This role may be ideal for an ambitious individual with a smaller firm currently in an environment where there is limited opportunity for progression - the right person can expect early responsibility and will progress through the ranks and play a real role in the future of our practice.
We expect the successful candidate will demonstrate the following characteristics:
Remuneration and benefits:
• Commensurate with experience [Semi-Senior £32,000 - £38,000] [Senior £38,000 - £48,000]
• Normal hours of work are 37.5 per week, to be worked from 8.30am to 5.00pm or 9.00am to 5.30pm (flexibility over working hours with agreement)
• Flexible working arrangements.
• 25 days holiday, plus statutory bank/public holidays
