Job Description

About us

We are a small, growing ACCA accountancy practice in Shoreham By Sea with an eco-friendly and highly tech savvy approach to our way of working. We like to think what sets us apart is providing a very personable approach to servicing every one of our clients so that they feel valued.

We act for a wide range of businesses and individuals in a variety of industries providing services such as company accounts, sole trade accounts, tax returns, bookkeeping, VAT returns, CIS returns, payroll and most importantly business advice.

The role

This role is a fantastic opportunity for someone who has a desire for a career in accountancy and wants to gain exposure to 'real' work and responsibilities from day one.

Whilst in the role you will also study towards your ACCA qualification, with all training, exams, study leave and professional subscriptions fully funded by us.

You will get first hand exposure to all the fundamental elements of accountancy such as bookkeeping, self assessment tax returns, payroll, pensions, CIS, VAT and company accounts.

You will carry out work on a variety of cloud based software such as QuickBooks and Xero and be responsible for the implementation and integration of various 'bolt-on' Apps, all with a view to delivering bespoke solutions to meet your client's individual needs.

You will receive hands-on, attentive training which will allow you to develop your knowledge and skills quickly within the role. You will be given the responsibility to design your own processes with a view to creating efficiencies within the practice.

As a smaller practice, you will learn and be directly involved in what it takes to run an accountancy practice and a business generally, an opportunity that very few other firms will be able to offer.

As you develop these skills, you will be able to assist clients with not only accounting and tax advice, but also business advice as your knowledge grows.
