Client Accountant

About The Role

We’re looking for a qualified accountant (AAT Level 4 or above) with solid practice experience, confident in QuickBooks and Xero. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building long-term client relationships and prefers working with depth over volume. Bonus if you’ve worked with care sector clients.

As a Client Accountant at Fresh Clarity, you’ll take a lead role in supporting our clients to remain compliant with HMRC and Companies House. You’ll support the team with client queries.

This is not a production-line accountancy role—we value deep client relationships and thoughtful advice over speed and volume.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare financial statements, tax returns and VAT returns

  • Lead the preparation of cashflow forecasts, budgets, and year-end accounts

  • Identify and suggest improvements to financial systems and processes

  • Support bookkeeping checks and reconciliations (QuickBooks & Xero)

  • Prepare & submit confirmation statements

  • Contribute to internal planning and service development as we grow

About You

Required:

  • Qualified to at least AAT Level 4 (or equivalent)

  • At least 3 years’ experience in accountancy practice

  • Confident using QuickBooks Online and Xero

  • Able to clearly explain financial matters to non-financial clients

  • Professional, organised, and proactive in managing your own time

  • Strong attention to detail, balanced with commercial awareness

Nice to have:

  • Experience supporting businesses in the care sector (domiciliary care, nursing homes, etc.)

  • Interest in mentoring junior team members as we grow

What we Offer

  • Flexible part-time or full-time role to fit around your life

  • Hybrid working – home-based with occasional office/client meetings

  • Private health insurance

  • A values-led business focused on doing good work with good people

  • Opportunity to grow with us and shape how we serve clients

Location

Our Office is based in the market town of Wem, Shropshire.  We love to work together in the office, knowing there is the flexibility to work remotely.
