Audit & Accounts Semi Senior
Newcastle-under-Lyme | £28,000–£32,000 + excellent benefits
Looking for a role where your progression is genuinely planned, not just promised?
Imagine joining a firm where audit and accounts are properly balanced, your development is actively supported, and long hours are not worn as a badge of honour.
This growing practice is led by two approachable, hands-on Directors and has built a culture that truly puts people first. Careers are developed steadily, clients are well cared for, and work–life balance is taken seriously.
Due to continued growth, they’re now looking to welcome an Audit & Accounts Semi Senior into their collaborative and supportive team.
The Role
This is a true 50/50 Audit & Accounts position, perfect for someone who enjoys variety and wants to continue developing across both disciplines.
You’ll work with a diverse portfolio of Ltd company clients, ranging from SMEs to larger statutory group audits, across sectors including manufacturing, IT, retail and charities.
On the accounts side, you’ll be involved in:
*
Preparing year-end statutory accounts under UK GAAP
*
Producing management accounts, including journals, accruals and prepayments
*
Preparing VAT returns for a varied client base
*
Supporting tax computations alongside Senior staff
*
Building strong, confident client relationships
On the audit side, you’ll:
*
Prepare high-quality audit working papers
*
Support and deliver statutory audits for SME and group clients
*
Identify risks and control weaknesses, feeding these back to Seniors
*
Develop professional relationships with clients on-site
There is occasional travel to client sites (e.g. Wrexham, London or Portsmouth), but this is infrequent and always planned well in advance.
Who This Role Would Suit
This opportunity would suit someone who:
*
Has 2–4 years’ UK practice experience
*
Has exposure to both audit and accounts
*
Has worked with Ltd company clients
*
Is confident preparing audit working papers, VAT returns and management accounts
*
Is studying ACCA or ACA/ICAEW, with a solid foundation already in place
*
Is genuinely motivated to progress into a Senior role within a supportive firm
