Join a Growing Independent Firm - Senior Accountant / Assistant Manager (Remote or Hybrid)

Are you a Senior Accountant/ Assistant Manager from practice ready to leave routine compliance behind?

Do you thrive on tackling complex accounting challenges rather than ticking boxes? Do you enjoy getting into the detail of financial reporting, consolidations, corporation tax and specialist projects? Have you worked with medium and large sized companies including groups?

Reed Practice is partnering with a well-respected, independent accounting firm who are looking for a technically strong Senior Accountant or Assistant Manager to join their ever-expanding team.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with at least medium-sized businesses, advising clients on complex financial matters while enjoying the flexibility of hybrid or fully remote working. If you're looking for a firm where your expertise is valued, your development is supported, and no two days are quite the same, then this is the next career move for you!

As Senior Accountant/ Assistant Manager you'll be part of a collaborative, supportive team that genuinely enjoys working together, sharing knowledge, and who take pride in developing their people and providing opportunities to grow professionally.

This is ideal for someone who enjoys technical accounting, problem-solving and advisory work. You’ll support a portfolio of larger corporate clients and group structures, providing high-quality financial reporting and compliance services. Your role will include:

  • Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts for medium-sized companies, larger entities and groups
  • Producing complex multi-entity & multi-currency consolidations
  • Researching & resolving technical accounting issues, documenting findings and advice
  • Manage corporate tax & VAT compliance, supported by specialist colleagues
  • Building strong client relationships through regular communication and consulting ideas
  • Reviewing work prepared by junior team members and helping develop their skills

Audit experience would be beneficial, it is not essential. This role can be fully remote or hybrid, so you'll need to be comfortable managing relationships through virtual meetings, phone calls and regular correspondence.

What We're Looking For - Professionals who combine strong technical capability with a proactive, client-focused mindset. You'll ideally have:

ACA / ACCA qualification, with post-qualified experience (or newly qualified with strong relevant experience)
Essential: Strong knowledge of CCH Accounts Production
Experience working with medium and large businesses, group structures and complex accounts assignments

Strong financial reporting and corporation tax knowledge

Excellent communication skills and confidence working remotely with clients and colleagues

Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines

A collaborative approach and enthusiasm for supporting and developing others

What You'll Receive

  1. Hybrid or fully remote working (UK-based candidates only)
  2. Interesting and technically challenging work; exposure to larger businesses and specialist assignments
  3. Clear progression and development opportunities in a supportive and collaborative team culture
  4. Competitive salary and benefits package aligned to your experience and contribution - quoted figure can be negotiated.
