Accountant
Whyfield: 4-day week employer
We are looking for a qualified and experienced Accountant, with a desire to progress further in their career and become an integral part of the growth of our entrepreneurial and independent firm, based in Truro.
We have a high calibre of experienced staff members and fantastic clients both regionally and nationally, offering a huge range of support to businesses of all sizes including sole traders, partnerships, charitable organisations and limited companies. The turnover of these businesses can range from several hundred to several millions of pounds.
The key tasks of the role are:
- Accounts preparation
- Company Tax returns
- Self-assessment tax returns
- VAT management
- Management Accounts
The successful candidate will take charge of their own portfolio of clients, and through building relationships, will have the opportunity to make the role their own. You’ll work strategically with clients and colleagues to offer an enhanced accountancy service, which goes above compliance and focuses on providing business support, encouragement, and empowerment to enable our clients to be successful.
Need-to-haves:
- Minimum AAT Level 4
- Experience in a well-established accountancy practice, with a minimum of two years experience
- In-depth knowledge of accounts preparation for a range of businesses and sectors
- A good knowledge of using software such as Sage, Xero, and Quickbooks
Good-to-haves (and potentially more important attributes):
- Excellent communication skills
- A good sense of humour
- Enjoy the benefits of being a proactive member of the team
- Being an ambassador and advocate for your profession
- Ability to adapt and overcome, and see the positive in a situation
We aren’t just on the lookout for someone with a long list of technical skills, we want to hear from a super-friendly, approachable person who is willing to go the extra mile to offer a top-quality service to our clients.
It is important that you hold the ability to work well independently and as part of a team. You will often need to work with other team members to meet a deadline, but equally, there will be occasions when you will need to work solo to complete tasks.
The benefits on offer are:
- A company culture that promotes work/life balance – a 4-day working week comes with all roles at Whyfield.
- An individual development plan with clear progression.
- Access to professional financial advice and planning.
- A commitment from us to your continued professional and personal development.
- Time off above statutory leave
- Paid CPD
- Bonus scheme
- Training support
- Paid professional subscriptions.
- Comprehensive private health cover including dental and optical.
- A list of company perks including a yearly Duvet Day, social and wellbeing events calendar, exercise bike and standing desk, and more.
Salary: £23,000.00 - £30,000.00 per year.
