Accounts Senior (Compliance Focus)
Stoke-on-Trent | £30k–£40k | Hybrid working
Not every accounting role needs to lead to management.
Some people genuinely enjoy getting their head down, producing good work, and being part of a solid, reliable team — without the pressure of business development, advisory targets, or constant progression conversations.
If that sounds like you, this could be a really good fit.
I’m working with a well-established, growing practice in Stoke-on-Trent that’s looking to strengthen its compliance team with an experienced Accounts Senior.
This is very much a delivery-focused role — ideal for someone who enjoys accounts prep, managing a steady portfolio, and working in a structured, supportive environment.
What you’ll be doing:
* Preparing statutory accounts for a portfolio of SME clients
* Working with businesses typically in the £500k–£1m turnover range
* Corporate tax computations
* VAT returns and general compliance work
* Liaising with clients and keeping things moving
What they’re looking for:
* Practice experience is essential
* Confident producing accounts end-to-end
* Comfortable managing your own workload
* Reliable, consistent, and detail-focused
* Someone who enjoys a steady role rather than chasing progression
Why it’s worth a look:
* Strong, well-structured team around you
* Consistent workflow (no chaos or last-minute panic)
* Supportive environment — low staff turnover
* Hybrid working and flexibility where needed
* A role you can genuinely settle into long-term
If you’re sitting there thinking “I just want a solid role where I can do my job well and not be pulled in ten different directions” — this is exactly that.
