Senior Accountant - Stockport with ref. ES-19088

Clark Wood are currently working with an established independent accountancy practice in the Stockport area, who are looking to recruit an Accounts Senior to join their supportive and close-knit team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ACA / ACCA qualified or part-qualified accountant (or QBE), who is keen to take on more responsibility and continue progressing within a well-run and reputable firm.

The role will include:

Preparation of year-end accounts and corporation tax computations
Supporting with VAT returns, bookkeeping, and management accounts
Managing your own portfolio of clients, ensuring accuracy and timely delivery
Acting as a day-to-day point of contact for clients and handling queries professionally
Identifying opportunities to add value beyond compliance and offering practical advice
Collaborating with colleagues and supporting the wider team
Contributing ideas to improve processes and service delivery

The ideal candidate will be:

ACA / ACCA qualified or part-qualified, with at least 3 years’ practice experience
Experienced in accounts preparation, VAT, and corporation tax
Familiar with cloud accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage
Detail-oriented, proactive, and confident working independently
A strong communicator with a client-focused approach
Ambitious, with a clear desire to progress within a growing firm
