Customer Support Advisor - Accountancy Software
Join to apply for the Customer Support Advisor - Accountancy Software role at IRIS Software Group
At IRIS Software Group, we help thousands of accountants across the UK work smarter and more efficiently. From sole practitioners to large accountancy firms, our software takes care of the detail – so they can focus on what really matters: supporting their clients.
Our Accountancy Customer Services team plays a vital role in that mission. They’re the experts accountants turn to when they need help, reassurance, or practical guidance. We’re now expanding our IRIS Elements support team – and looking for friendly, motivated people with a foundation in finance, tax, or accountancy to join us.
What Will You Be Doing?
* Act as the first point of contact for accountants using IRIS Elements and Accountancy Suite
* Respond to queries via phone, email, or online chat
* Investigate and resolve customer issues, or escalating to specialists when needed
* Explain processes clearly and help customers get back to work fast
* Log and track cases to ensure timely resolution
* Update our internal knowledge base with useful insights or fixes
* Meet quality and service goals while keeping customer satisfaction high
* Represent IRIS with professionalism, empathy, and care
You’ll be based in our Slough (Heathrow Approach) office for at least three days per week, with the flexibility to work from home on other days if you prefer.
What Are We Looking For?
This is a great fit for someone early in their career who already understands the basics of finance or accountancy and wants to build on that knowledge in a software‑focused role.
* A degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related subject
* Experience in a finance, tax, or accountancy role
* Current study towards an accounting qualification such as AAT
We’re also looking for people who are:
* Clear and confident communicators
* Naturally helpful and patient
* Organised, with great attention to detail
* Comfortable with Microsoft Office and learning new systems
* Calm under pressure and able to solve problems logically
* Keen to learn and grow in a supportive environment
What Can IRIS Offer You?
* Structured onboarding and full product training – you don’t need to be a tech expert to succeed
* Clear progression routes into senior support, technical, or implementation roles
* Hybrid working – 3 days onsite, the rest from home if you wish
* A collaborative, supportive culture – questions are encouraged, and learning is continuous
* Comprehensive benefits, including wellbeing support, pension, and staff discounts
The Application Process
We’ve designed a supportive and inclusive process to help you shine:
Send us your CV and a short application – we’re keen to hear why you’re interested in this role and what excites you about joining IRIS.
If shortlisted, you’ll complete two short assessments that help us understand how you think and work.
* CCAT – A quick, 15‑minute timed assessment covering verbal, numerical, and logical reasoning. It’s best done somewhere quiet, with a pen and paper handy.
* EPP – An untimed personality profile focused on your working style and approach to challenges. No right or wrong answers – just be yourself. These are widely used and designed to be fair and inclusive, helping us see beyond your CV.
A short, friendly chat over Microsoft Teams with someone from our Talent team. It’s your chance to ask questions and learn more about the role and life at IRIS.
Join us at our Slough/Heathrow Approach office (SL1 8QY) for an interactive, in‑person session with other candidates on Wednesday 29 October 2025. You’ll take part in team‑based activities, meet our team, and get a real feel for our culture.
If you’ve got a background in finance or accountancy and love the idea of helping professionals use industry‑leading software, we’d love to meet you.
