You will work directly with clients and the Principal to manage a broad portfolio of accounting and tax compliance work. This role suits someone who thrives in a wide-ranging, client-facing workplace, is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, and enjoys working closely with small business owners.

Perform bookkeeping and reconciliations for a portfolio of small business clients
Manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations, and payroll processing
Prepare financial statements and management reports for SME clients
Assist with month-end and year-end close processes across multiple client files
Liaise with clients to gather information, answer queries, and provide practical financial guidance
