Job Description

Client Accountant (Practice, Accounts & VAT focus) Norwich (Hybrid) | £30,000 to £38,000 FTE

Most practice roles quietly push you away from the books the moment you're any good at them. This one does the opposite. If bookkeeping and VAT are where you do your best work, and you'd rather build on that than escape it, keep reading.

The firm

A well-established Norwich practice with an impressive clientbase across the UK, and a portfolio that doesn't look like everyone else's. Think owner-managed SMEs, entrepreneurs, charities, CICs and purpose-led businesses that measure success by more than the bottom line. The work runs well past compliance too, into R&D tax, carbon accounting, ESG reporting and fractional CFO support.

They're also ahead of the curve on how the work actually gets done. AI tooling is built into the daily routine, an offshore partner handles a slice of the bookkeeping and accounts production, and the leadership team has real technical weight behind it.

The role

Hands-on, and proudly so. Bookkeeping and VAT are the core of the job, not a phase you're expected to grow out of.

Day to day, the bookkeeping reaches you three ways. Some you'll do yourself, for the clients where the detail demands a human. Some comes through AI tools, where you review, correct and put your name to the output. And some is delivered by the offshore team, where you supervise, quality-check and carry the result. Whichever route it takes, the standard doesn't move.

On top of that, you'll handle:

VAT compliance under MTD, covering standard, flat rate, partial exemption and OSS where it applies
	
Year-end accounts prepared to review-ready standard under FRS 102 1A and FRS 105
	
Corporation tax computations and CT600 returns
	
Straightforward self-assessment returns (SA100) for directors and individuals
	
Managing your own client portfolio, from meetings and deadlines to correspondence and spotting upsell opportunities
	
Supervising and quality-controlling the offshore bookkeeping work

Who it suits

Someone who trained in practice and is still in the work, not watching it from a distance. You see bookkeeping as the thing that makes everything else possible, not a box you've already ticked. More specifically:

Solid working knowledge of UK VAT, FRS 102/105 and corporation tax, earned in practice rather than industry
	
MAAT qualified, or part-ACCA/ACA with study actively underway
	
Still delivering bookkeeping yourself, through AI tools, or by overseeing an offshore team
	
Able to prepare review-ready limited company accounts and CT returns on your own
	
Genuinely client-facing, comfortable on camera and able to run a meeting without a safety net
	
Used to supervising others and handling rework in a constructive way
	
Confident in cloud accounting: Xero, FreeAgent or QuickBooks

What's on offer

£30,000 to £38,000 FTE, depending on experience and qualifications
	
Fully funded BUPA healthcare insurance
	
Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme
	
Profit-sharing bonus scheme
	
30 to 33 days' holiday inclusive of bank holidays (pro-rata, based on working pattern, effective 1 July 2026)
	
Study support for ongoing ACCA/ACA qualifications
	
Hybrid and flexible working after probation
	
Workplace pension
	
Cycle to work scheme
	
A lovely office with great transport links
	
A clear path into a fully autonomous account management role
