Trainee/Part Qualified Accountant

Trainee / Part-Qualified Accountant Harrogate | £28,000 – £35,000 DOE | Permanent, Full-time | ACA Study Support

Are you looking to progress your career in accountancy and gain broader experience across accounts, audit and tax?

Castle Employment are working with a friendly, independent accountancy practice in Harrogate who are looking for a Trainee or Part-Qualified Accountant to join their Accounts and Audit team.

This is a great opportunity for someone with previous accountancy experience who wants to continue developing within practice, with full ACA study support and exposure to a varied portfolio of clients.

You'll be joining a close-knit, collaborative team where you'll have the opportunity to build your technical knowledge, take on more responsibility as you develop and gain experience across different areas rather than being restricted to one specialism.

What you'll be doing Your role will be varied and will include:

• Preparing accounts for a range of clients
  
  
• Supporting and undertaking audit assignments
  
  
• Assisting with tax work
  
  
• Working across a mixed portfolio of clients
  
  
• Supporting the wider team with general accountancy work
  
  
• Developing your technical knowledge
  
  
• Taking on increased responsibility as your experience grows
  
  
• Working towards your ACA qualification
  
  

What we're looking for We're keen to speak with candidates who already have some accountancy experience and are looking for their next step.

You might already be studying AAT or ACA, have recently completed AAT, or have started building your experience within either an accountancy practice or an industry finance team.

For candidates further into their studies, previous experience of both accounts preparation and audit would be particularly beneficial.

You'll be someone who is keen to learn, comfortable working across a varied role and enjoys being part of a smaller, collaborative team.

What's on offer?

• £28,000 – £35,000, depending on experience and qualification level
  
  
• Full ACA study support
  
  
• Time off to attend Kaplan courses in Leeds and sit exams
  
  
• Flexible start and finish times
  
  
• Paid overtime or TOIL for additional hours worked
  
  
• Ability to accumulate up to 50 hours of TOIL to take as time off or have paid
  
  
• 20 days' holiday plus bank holidays
  
  
• Holiday entitlement increasing to 25 days plus bank holidays after five years
  
  
• Private medical scheme
  
  
• Workplace pension
  
  
• Death in service at 3x salary
  
  
• Supportive and friendly independent-practice environment
  
  

Working hours This is predominantly an office-based role in Harrogate, with flexible working hours. 

Ad hoc home working can also be accommodated depending on individual circumstances.
