Senior Accountant / Senior Payroll – Practice
Location: Stoke On Trent
Salary: upto £35,000
Looking for a senior role where your expertise is valued, your work makes a real impact, and your life outside the office matters? This could be the one.
I’m working exclusively with a well-established national accountancy practice that has grown without losing its family-focused, supportive culture. They’re looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant / Senior Payroll professional to join a team that genuinely cares about its people and clients.
Why this role is exciting:
*
You’ll take the lead on payroll (around 75% of the role) and support local clients who value face-to-face relationships.
*
Work across SAGE Payroll, CIS, pensions, VAT, and accounts prep for sole traders & Ltd companies. (No corporates. No faceless work.)
*
Enjoy a proper handover from the outgoing team member—the firm prefers the right person over a rushed hire.
*
Experience a culture that truly values work-life balance—flexible working arrangements, including remote working when needed, are supported.
What they’re looking for:
*
Senior-level practice experience, with the confidence to work independently
*
Strong SAGE Payroll skills (essential), with CIS and pensions experience
*
Someone who wants a long-term role in a stable, people-focused practice
This isn’t just another job, it’s a role where stability, flexibility, and a human approach to work are real.
