About the role

Looking for an accounting role that offers variety, responsibility and the opportunity to develop your career?

Sheridan Maine is working with a well-established and successful organisation seeking an Accountant to join its busy finance team.
 
This position offers much more than routine accounting. You'll be involved in financial reporting, budgeting and managing the accounts for a diverse portfolio of clients, working closely with colleagues across finance and operations.
It's a great opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership of their work, building relationships and developing their technical accounting skills.
 
What will you be doing?
As part of an experienced client accounting team, your responsibilities will include:
  • Preparing annual accounts and year-end financial statements.
    • Producing interim accounts and financial reports for clients.
    • Working with operational colleagues to prepare and review budgets.
    • Managing account reconciliations and investigating discrepancies.
    • Reviewing financial information when new client portfolios are introduced.
    • Liaising with colleagues and clients to resolve accounting queries.
    • Contributing to improvements in financial processes and supporting wider projects.
 
What experience will you need?
We're looking for someone with a solid accounting background who is organised, confident working with numbers and comfortable managing competing priorities.
Ideally, you'll bring:
  • ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification, or be working towards one.
    • Experience preparing accounts and producing financial reports.
    • Good Excel skills and a strong understanding of accounting principles.
    • The ability to work accurately while meeting deadlines.
    • A proactive approach to problem-solving and managing your workload.
    • Strong communication skills and the confidence to build relationships across the business.
Experience gained in accountancy practice, property accounting or a similar financial reporting environment would be particularly relevant.
 
Why consider this opportunity?
You'll be joining an established business where you'll have the chance to broaden your experience, take on responsibility and continue progressing professionally.
 
Interested in finding out more?
Whether you're an experienced Accountant looking for a change or a part-qualified professional ready for your next challenge, we'd be pleased to hear from you.
 
Apply today or contact Mandy Marsh for a confidential discussion.
