Working on a hybrid basis (2-3 days per week in the office) you will have both audit and accounting responsibilities for a client portfolio predominately from charity and not-for-profit sectors. Reporting to the Director, you will play a key role in supporting and mentoring junior members of the team, assisting them with their own professional development.
Key Responsibilities:

Ideally, you will be a qualified Accountant (CA/ACCA) with UK External Audit experience gained within accountancy practice. Experience of working with charity clients is essential.

You will be an excellent communicator, with a demonstrable ability to develop strong client relationships.
Salary will be offered depending on experience, starting from £41,000 + Benefits + Hybrid working. Applications are also welcome from those returning to practice from industry or seeking a more flexible working pattern. Unfortunately, UK visa sponsorship is not available for this vacancy.
