I’m recruiting an Accounts Assistant for an established accountancy practice in London.

The role will include:

  • Maintaining sales, purchase and nominal ledgers.
  • Preparing accounts and VAT returns for sole traders, limited companies and partnerships.
  • Processing journals and supporting management accounts work.
  • Assisting with partnership tax returns and coordinating work with colleagues and external providers.

The firm welcomes applications from AAT qualified candidates, those planning on studying towards ACA or ACCA, and people qualified by experience.

This could suit someone who enjoys practical accounts work and wants a varied role within a supportive practice team.
