About the Role
Our client, a highly respected and well-established accountancy practice in Tamworth, is seeking an experienced Senior Accounts/Bookkeeper to join their team. This is an exceptional opportunity to work with a forward-thinking and supportive firm that values both professional expertise and work-life balance.
