Description
Semi Senior Accountant / Accounts Senior (Practice)
Harrogate
£35,000 – £42,000
Study Support Available (ACCA / ACA)
A well-established independent accountancy practice in Harrogate is looking to recruit a Semi Senior Accountant or Accounts Senior to join their team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a practice professional who enjoys broad client exposure, hands-on accounting work, and a more relaxed, people-focused environment than many traditional firms offer.
The firm has built an excellent reputation for client service and works with a varied portfolio of businesses, offering exposure to more interesting and complex work rather than purely compliance-led assignments.
The Role
You’ll work closely with the Accounts Manager and Practice leadership team, supporting a diverse client base across a broad range of accounting responsibilities including:
- Accounts production
- Corporate tax compliance
- VAT returns
- Higher-level bookkeeping work
- Occasional payroll support
- Client communication and relationship management
This is a varied, hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys working across multiple areas rather than specialising narrowly.
About You
The successful candidate will ideally have:
- Previous experience working within an accountancy practice
- Accounts production experience
- Exposure to VAT and corporate tax work
- A well-rounded technical skillset
- Strong communication and client-facing skills
- A reliable, team-oriented and approachable personality
The firm is open to candidates at semi senior or accounts senior level, including part-qualified ACA / ACCA professionals seeking further development.
The Environment
This practice offers a genuinely supportive and relaxed working culture with:
- A small, friendly team environment
- High levels of trust and autonomy
- Strong client relationships and retention
- Less focus on rigid timesheet culture and chargeable hour pressure
- Broad exposure to interesting client work
What’s on Offer?
- Salary between £35,000 – £42,000 depending on experience
- ACCA / ACA study support available
- Long-term stability within an established local firm
- Broad technical exposure across accounts, tax and bookkeeping
- Relaxed and professional working environment
- Opportunity to work closely with experienced leadership and develop your career further
If you’re looking for a stable and friendly practice environment where client relationships and quality work matter more than corporate bureaucracy, we’d be keen to hear from you
