NXTGEN is seeking a driven and ambitious Audit & Accounts Assistant to join a fast-growing Accountancy practice located in Ipswich. As the new Audit & Accounts Assistant, you will become part of a skilled and experienced team of professionals who are dedicated to delivering top-quality service to their clients. This practice has experienced significant growth over the last few years and is becoming increasingly recognised in East Anglia. In this role, you will be closely supported by hands on Directors, providing you the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the field. This position offers a varied and comprehensive workload across both Audit & Accounts, helping you develop into a well-rounded Accountant.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to enhance their skills in a diverse role with a broad scope of responsibilities. You will assist with both audit and accounting duties, including preparing financial statements, management accounts, VAT and Tax Returns, and supporting audit processes for a diverse client base. As your skills grow, you will have the opportunity to take on more responsibility, with access to further training and internal development opportunities. This is a unique opportunity as your daily workload is directly managed by the Directors you work closely with, rather than a centralised team. This allows you to be assigned tasks that align with your interests and support your personal development pathway.

If you're looking to join a firm that genuinely values both its employees and clients, this opportunity delivers just that. The practice offers flexibility and, in return for your dedication and ambition, ensures a balanced work-life environment. If you appreciate the variety of practice work but prefer to avoid a corporate atmosphere, this could be the perfect role for you.

Key Responsibilities:

Assist in the preparation of financial statements for a broad range of clients.
Support audit processes, including planning, execution, and reporting.
Prepare management accounts and assist with VAT and Tax returns.
Build and maintain strong working relationships with new and existing clients.
Provide timely support for clients' ad hoc queries.

Requirements:

Prior experience in a Chartered Accountants/Bureau environment is preferred due to the hands-on client work involved.
Strong communication and organisational skills.
Proficiency in Excel and other Microsoft packages.

Salary is dependent on experience, with flexibility provided on an individual basis to suit your needs.
