📣 WE’RE HIRING – EXPERIENCED PRACTICE ACCOUNTANT 📣
Fooks & Co | Bargoed High Street
We’re looking for an experienced and capable accountant to join our long-established practice in Bargoed.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership of their work, dealing directly with clients and seeing a job through from the client records right through to final accounts and tax returns.
For us, experience and ability are paramount.
You might be professionally qualified, qualified by experience, part-qualified or currently studying – we’re open-minded about qualifications.
What matters is that you can demonstrate solid accountancy practice experience and that you are able to work accurately, confidently and largely unsupervised.
What will you be doing?
Your main role will be preparing accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies, and seeing those jobs through to completion, including:
• Self Assessment tax returns
• Partnership returns / SA800s
• Corporation Tax returns / CT600s
• VAT
• Payroll
• Making Tax Digital for Income Tax
• Liaising directly with clients
• Dealing with HMRC by telephone, letter and email
We’re a small practice, so the work is varied and everyone pulls together. You won’t be pigeonholed into one narrow area of accountancy.
We’re particularly interested in someone who:
✅ Has solid recent accountancy practice experience
✅ Can take a job from start to finish
✅ Works to a high degree of accuracy
✅ Is comfortable working independently and using their own judgement
✅ Can manage their workload and meet deadlines
✅ Has a strong work ethic
✅ Is confident dealing with clients face to face, by phone and by email
✅ Has experience dealing with HMRC, or can demonstrate strong transferable skills
Experience with Microsoft 365, TaxCalc, Client Engager and Xero would be ideal, although experience with similar systems is absolutely fine – we would expect the right person to transition to our software without difficulty.
What do we offer?
⭐ Competitive salary, negotiable depending on experience and ability
⭐ 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
⭐ Workplace pension scheme
⭐ Death in service life cover
⭐ Study support available for the right candidate
⭐ Varied and interesting work
⭐ Genuine responsibility and autonomy
⭐ Support from an experienced, friendly team
⭐ Free parking available nearby
Please note: this is a full-time, office-based position, Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm, at our Bargoed High Street office.
We understand that life occasionally gets in the way, so we can offer flexibility to work from home where a temporary need arises. However, this is not a permanent hybrid or remote-working role and applicants should be looking for an office-based position as part of our team.
We are ready to recruit now, so if this sounds like you – or you know someone who would be a great fit – I’d be very happy to have an informal chat.
