Accountants Senior

Accounts Senior (Compliance Focus) Stoke-on-Trent | £30k–£40k | Hybrid working Not every accounting role needs to lead to management. Some people genuinely enjoy getting their head down, producing good work, and being part of a solid, reliable team — without the pressure of business development, advisory targets, or constant progression conversations. If that sounds like you, this could be a really good fit. I’m working with a well-established, growing practice in Stoke-on-Trent that’s looking to strengthen its compliance team with an experienced Accounts Senior. This is very much a delivery-focused role — ideal for someone who enjoys accounts prep, managing a steady portfolio, and working in a structured, supportive environment. What you’ll be doing: * Preparing statutory accounts for a portfolio of SME clients * Working with businesses typically in the £500k–£1m turnover range * Corporate tax computations * VAT returns and general compliance work * Liaising with clients and keeping things moving What they’re looking for: * Practice experience is essential * Confident producing accounts end-to-end * Comfortable managing your own workload * Reliable, consistent, and detail-focused * Someone who enjoys a steady role rather than chasing progression Why it’s worth a look: * Strong, well-structured team around you * Consistent workflow (no chaos or last-minute panic) * Supportive environment — low staff turnover * Hybrid working and flexibility where needed * A role you can genuinely settle into long-term If you’re sitting there thinking “I just want a solid role where I can do my job well and not be pulled in ten different directions” — this is exactly that.
