I’m helping a modern and expanding firm with offices in Wiltshire to secure a superb Accountant.
Following recent growth and acquisitions, we’re now looking for an Experienced Accountant to strengthen our Salisbury team and play a key role in supporting both clients and junior colleagues.
This is more than a finance role, it’s a chance to take ownership, develop others, and make a genuine impact in a lively, supportive practice where ideas are encouraged and progression is real.

* Managing a portfolio of SME clients, delivering high-quality accounts, tax and advisory services.
* Leading client conversations, translating financial data into meaningful insights.
* Preparing and reviewing year-end accounts and tax returns to sign-off stage.
* Coaching, mentoring and reviewing work from trainees, helping shape their development.
* Working closely with the Managing Director and wider team to improve processes, trial new tools and drive innovation.
* Building trusted client relationships as a key point of contact.
What we’re looking for
* 5 years’ experience in a UK accountancy practice.
* Confident preparing and reviewing accounts and tax returns independently.
* Strong communicator with experience mentoring or developing junior staff.
* Comfortable leading client meetings and delivering commercial advice.
* Proficient in Xero, QuickBooks or similar cloud platforms.
* Positive, team-focused and open to trying new systems and ideas.
(Formal qualifications are welcome but not essential — we value experience and attitude first.)
What’s in it for you
* £35,000–£40,000 base salary (with flexibility for the right person).
* 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays.
* Private medical insurance after probation and statutory pension scheme.
* Free on-site parking.
* Bacon roll Fridays, pub Fridays — a small team perk that makes a big difference.
* The chance to shape the future of the practice, with genuine progression opportunities

If you’re looking for a role where you can make an impact, grow your career, and still enjoy Friday bacon rolls, with the odd trip to the pub — we’d love to hear from you.
