Accounts & Tax Senior or Manager

Job Description

Accounts & Tax Senior or Manager
City of London
£45,000 - £60,000

Butler Rose Public Practice are delighted to be supporting our client, a dynamic and growing accountancy practice based in the City of London, in their search for an experienced and well qualified Accounts & Tax assistant manager or manager to take up the "Review and Finishing" of various assignment and take ownership of the delivery of production of work for certain allocated clients.

Role responsibilities -
This role will take responsibility for a Mixture of Ltd Companies and Sole trader accounts and related tax returns, a mixed portfolio, mainly serviced based with a slant towards "creatives". This experience is not essential, but ideally an interest in related tax matters will be helpful, for the holistic parts of the client's portfolio.

Most of the production/processing/drafting of the Accounts and tax returns etc will have been completed already by the team, so it's therefore more a function of owning/responsibility of the input/throughput/output of various jobs to deliver (within deadlines) the role is therefore a pure review process, rather than "doing" the Accounts/tax preparation and also key to control information flows.

The successful candidate will therefore need to demonstrate and show experience in the review and delivery and managing production. You will also need to monitor and react to ad hoc queries from emails/calls and respond accordingly in a timely nature.

The current team members also produce most of the SA tax returns, so you will be responsible for completeness of info, communicating to the client, then reviewing basic self-assessment tax returns as part of sole trader accounts process and standalone tax returns.

As noted, the team already produce most bookkeeping, drafting of accounts/tax and also prepare the firms standard tax/accounting working papers. So, this is mostly coordination and a review process understanding the key issue/risks as part of the planning and review process and then enclosing final packs and points to client. The role is therefore focused on the output part of the process and maintaining quality reviews and the related output is key and so the role will not be for a _producer of work_, other than to close and finalise and so to _top and tail_ to take responsibility to ensure the firm's policies are followed, to reduce risks.

Also, a small element to liaise and review payroll on these clients (payroll processing undertaken by the Team), so just therefore coordinating and reviewing/sending out. Same with Quarterly Vat returns, management Accounts with review and send and possible similar for CS01s.

Person Requirements -
ACCA or ACA qualified with a minimum of 5 years' experience in a UK based accountancy practice.
Strong technical knowledge of accounting and tax principles.
Ability to manage a portfolio of clients and meet deadlines.
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
Strong attention to detail and ability to work accurately under pressure.
Strong IT skills including experience with accounting software such as CCH, Xero, QuickBooks and Sage.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Ability to build and maintain strong relationships with clients and colleagues.

If you are a driven and experienced Accounts and tax professional looking for an exciting opportunity to join a growing accountancy practice, then we would love to hear from you.
