ACCOUNTING & TAX ASSOCIATE (SENIOR / ASSISTANT MANAGER EQUIVALENT)

This is an exciting, permanent, and 100% remote working role.
We are a prize-winning, rapidly growing, professional services firm looking for an experienced Senior or Assistant Manager who shares our values and is excited to be a part of our growth story.
Set free from a constricting office environment, you’ll enjoy our flexible approach to working at a firm where evening and weekend working is actively discouraged. Being home based, you can also leave the daily commute behind.

You’ll be working as an Associate (equivalent to a Senior or Assistant Manager in most Accountancy firms) in our Tax and Accounting team, and report to Senior Associates and Managers. You may also work directly to the Director. The role is full time however candidates who are seeking to work 4 days per week will also be considered.
Your role will be vital in supporting our strong client base including the subsidiaries of large overseas groups, SPVs and holding companies, third-sector clients and private trading companies.

The role includes the following:

• Preparing SATRs, management accounting reports and VAT returns etc. (which you should undertake with little supervision).
• Preparing annual accounts, corporation tax returns, and management accounting reports for a portfolio of clients (where more supervision is expected).
• Reviewing bookkeeping undertaken by Junior Associates and bookkeepers, and preparing bookkeeping records for bigger or more complicated clients
• Supporting Senior Associates and Managers in ensuring that client tax and accountancy needs are met. This may involve working on R&D claims, SIES/EIS submissions, tax advice, bespoke reporting etc.
• Being an expert in the software packages that we use on a daily basis (Xero, IRIS and Dext), teaching software skills to Junior Associates and bookkeepers, and supporting the wider team.
• Being responsible for managing the firm’s HMRC Agent Account and Agent Services Account, and internal tracking tools.
• Developing strong relationships with client staff.
• Working closely with other members of the team and the wider firm to ensure client needs are met

The Tax and Accounting department currently consists of one Director, one Manager, and twelve Senior Associates and Associates, as well as our helpful support team that we share with the Company Secretarial, Governance and Economic Crime departments. There will be plenty of support and assistance and you’ll learn new skills and develop existing knowledge and experience.
