Accountant – practice – Abingdon Office
Blacklands Way, Abingdon OX14 1SY
Working closely with the director, you’ll gain experience across a wide range of responsibilities including:
- Year‑end accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
- Corporation tax and income tax computations
- Management accounts and business support
- Client advisory work
- Supporting clients with MTD for Income Tax
- Providing insight and analysis from year‑end accounts
You will have direct client contact and the opportunity to build strong relationships and take real ownership of your portfolio. It’s a varied role ideal for someone who enjoys seeing the full picture rather than being siloed into one area.
Hybrid working may be considered over time, though the role will be office‑based initially.
Key Responsibilities
- Preparing and finalising accounts for a range of entity types
- Producing income tax and corporation tax computations
- Completing management accounts and analysis
- Supporting clients with digital record‑keeping and MTD requirements
- Maintaining strong technical and compliance standards
- Using platforms such as Xero, QuickBooks, and IRIS
What We’re Looking For
- Qualified / part qualified accountant with at least 2 years’ experience
- Strong knowledge of Xero, QuickBooks and ideally IRIS
- Confident producing accounts and tax computations independently
- Someone who enjoys responsibility and building client relationships
- High level of accuracy and attention to detail
- A proactive, motivated individual who enjoys continuous learning
This role will suit someone who is ambitious, business‑minded, and looking for meaningful progression in the coming years.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Close collaboration with the director
- Real input into how the practice develops
- Exposure to a wider variety of work than in larger firms
- Opportunity to take on more responsibility as the firm grows
- Supportive environment where your ideas and contribution are genuinely valued
This is a great fit for someone who ultimately wants more independence and influence over their career than traditional roles typically offer — without the bureaucracy of a larger firm.
