We are a progressive Chartered Accountancy practice based in North Cumbria but serving clients nationally.  As our practice continues to grow two exciting career opportunities have arisen to join our team.  We are looking for individuals who are enthusiastic about their work with both clients and fellow team members as we strive to grow and improve the services we provide.  Ideally, both roles will be on a full time basis but part time working may be considered.  The roles will offer rewarding salary and pension packages.

Chartered Accountant

Our first vacancy is for a Chartered Accountant, or a person with an equivalent qualification.  This individual will be looking to grow their knowledge and develop a portfolio of clients over the coming years.  If you are interested in this role your responsibilities will be as follows:

• Carrying out reviews of client files and assisting with their tax and business planning needs. This will require a rounded tax knowledge including but not limited to income, corporation, capital gains and value added tax;
• Being the day to day point of contact for a portfolio of clients;
• Acquiring the knowledge and skills required to successfully grow and manage your own client portfolio into the future; and
• Being a key member of internal teams created to manage clients through legislative challenges as they arise, for example making tax digital.

The CTA qualification would be beneficial but is not essential and we will provide the training and support needed to develop your career.

Experienced Accounts Assistant/Accounts Senior

Our second vacancy is for an Experienced Accounts Assistant/Accounts Senior to join our capable and enthusiastic team.

The main responsibilities of this role will include but not be limited to:

• The preparation of sole trader, partnership and company accounts from clients records;
• Preparing partnership and corporation tax returns to draft stage;
• Supporting clients with cloud accounting software solutions;
• Preparing VAT returns for clients both in the office and at clients premises; and
• Preparing management accounts and information to assist clients in the running of their business.

Being a member of the association of accounting technicians is beneficial but not essential.

Interested candidates should send their CV’s to beth@paul-benson.co.uk.

If you would like to discuss either role further on a completely confidential basis, please call Paul Benson on 07946236291.
