Practice Accountant

About The Role

Do you plan ahead, spot problems before they happen, and get a quiet buzz from a deadline met with time to spare?

At Fresh Clarity, we help business owners swap financial fog for clarity, confidence and control. We’re a small, friendly, cloud-based practice.  We work with business owners who want more from than just accounts and tax. We become part of their support network, helping them understand their numbers and make informed decisions for the future.

We’re looking for a Practice Accountant who can hit the ground running and take ownership of their own portfolio of clients, from bookkeeping right through to year-end accounts and corporation tax.  You don’t need to know everything, but you’ll have solid practice experience and the confidence to manage your own work.

A week in the life might include…

  • Preparing year-end accounts for limited companies and other clients
  • Preparing corporation tax computations and returns
  • Preparing and submitting VAT returns
  • Completing month-end reviews and reconciliations that leave everything shipshape
  • Being the trusted, friendly voice your clients turn to
  • Helping clients get the most out of QuickBooks and Xero
  • Spotting ways to improve our systems and help shape our services as we grow

You’ll fit right in if you…

  • Are qualified to at least AAT Level 4 (or equivalent)
  • Have at least 2 years’ experience in an accountancy practice
  • Confident using QuickBooks Online and Xero
  • Have prepared Limited Company Accounts and VAT returns
  • Naturally plan ahead and speak up early when you see a bottleneck coming
  • Care about doing things properly (and keeping your working papers tidy)
  • Enjoy helping people and communicating clearly

What’s in it for you?

  • Full or part-time hours to fit around your life (min 20 hours)

  • Flexible working

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

  • Your own client portfolio and real responsibility from day one

  • The chance to grow and shape how we serve our clients

A note on settling in: because relationships matter to us, we’d like you to spend your first few weeks mainly in our Wem office, getting to know the team, how we work and our clients.

Salary & 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.

Salary: £28,000 – £32,000 FTE (depending on experience)

Hours: minimum 20 hours a week
