Job description

Want to build your accounts skills and get real audit exposure at the same time?

A well-established firm of Chartered Accountants in Fareham is looking for an Accounts and Audit Assistant, with your time split roughly 50/50 between the two. You'll support the Portfolio Managers with a busy client base and work alongside the Audit Manager on the audit side. It comes with an internal training programme and ongoing development, so it's a strong fit if you're studying or want to grow into a well-rounded practice accountant.

What you'll be doing:

Preparing year-end accounts for limited companies, LLPs, sole traders and partnerships
Processing client data on Xero, Dext, Sage and QuickBooks
Preparing corporation tax and personal tax returns under supervision
Working through file review points and preparing accounts packs
Liaising with clients to gather information for accounts and audits
Supporting statutory audits, including testing and fieldwork
Ad hoc work through the year, including P11 Ds and ATED

Why join:

A structured training programme and real development
A genuine mix of accounts and audit work
A varied client base to learn from
A supportive team that will bring you on

If you want breadth in your training rather than being boxed into one area, this is well worth a conversation.
