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 Is IRIS Elements?
IRIS Elements is our modern, cloud-based platform designed specifically for accountants. It brings together everything they need - from compliance and tax returns to client management and practice workflows - in one secure, easy-to-use system.
Accountants use Elements every day to prepare year-end accounts, submit tax returns, manage clients, and collaborate with their teams. When they have a question or run into an issue, you’ll be the first person they speak to.
You’ll help them understand how to use the software, guide them through solutions, and make sure their queries are resolved quickly and accurately. Your finance or accounting knowledge will help you speak their language and give advice that really makes a difference.
What Will You Be Doing?
* Acting as the first point of contact for accountants using IRIS Elements and Accountancy Suite
* Responding to queries via phone, email, or online chat
* Investigating and resolving customer issues, or escalating to specialists when needed
* Explaining processes clearly and helping customers get back to work fast
* Logging and tracking cases to ensure timely resolution
* Updating our internal knowledge base with useful insights or fixes
* Meeting quality and service goals while keeping customer satisfaction high
* Representing 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. You’ll join a friendly, supportive team that works closely together, shares knowledge, and celebrates success.
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.
You’ll need one of the following:
* 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
Whether you’ve worked in a finance team, supported tax processes, or are finishing your studies, this is a brilliant way to combine your accounting knowledge with hands-on experience in software and customer support.
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
Many of our senior colleagues began in this role - it’s a proven route into a long-term career at IRIS.
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.
