Location: Near Stratford-upon-Avon     

Hours: Part-time, 25–30 hours per week

Salary: Up to £42,000 DOE (pro rata)   

Working: Hybrid working available     

Contract: Permanent

This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced Accountant to join a friendly, supportive practice near Stratford-upon-Avon — where your expertise is genuinely valued, and your work-life balance is respected.

Working 25–30 hours per week with hybrid working available, you’ll be part of a close-knit team handling a varied portfolio of clients. This is very much an accountancy practice role — you’ll be working directly on client accounts, tax returns and compliance, not bookkeeping. The firm has other staff who handle the day-to-day bookkeeping, so you can focus on what you do best.

Whether you’re looking to step back from full-time hours without sacrificing interesting, meaningful work, or you simply want a role that fits around your commitments, this could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Why This Accountant Role Stands Out

• Part-time hours — 25 to 30 hours per week, with flexibility
• Competitive salary up to £42,000 DOE (pro rata)
• Hybrid working potential
• A genuinely varied workload — accounts, tax, VAT, payroll and client support
• Involvement in tax planning meetings, if that’s something you enjoy
• Supportive, close-knit team where you’re known as a person, not a number
• Lovely location near Stratford-upon-Avon
• A role where you’ll build real client relationships and make a genuine difference

What You’ll Be Doing

As an Accountant within the practice, your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Preparing and reviewing accounts for sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies
• Completing corporation tax returns and self-assessment tax returns
• Preparing and submitting VAT returns
• Managing monthly payroll for a portfolio of clients (monthly payrolls only — no weekly payrolls)
• Liaising with HMRC and Companies House on client matters
• Providing clear, practical advice and support to clients
• Using practice software, including Xero, Iris, Moneysoft, and Engager
• Staying up to date with UK tax rules and compliance requirements
• Participating in tax planning meetings with clients, if this is an area you enjoy

What We’re Looking For

Essential:

• AAT Level 4 or higher (or equivalent qualification)
• 3+ years’ experience working within an accountancy practice — this is essential
• Solid UK accounting and tax knowledge across accounts prep, corporation tax, self-assessment, and VAT
• Confident and organised, with excellent attention to detail
• Strong communication skills — you’ll be dealing directly with clients
• Comfortable working with practice management and accounting software

Desirable:

• Experience with Xero, Iris, Moneysoft or Engager (though full training is available)
• Interest in tax planning and client advisory work

A Note on Software

The practice uses Xero, Iris, Moneysoft, and Engager. Xero experience is helpful but not essential — what matters most is that you have a solid practice background and pick things up quickly. Full support will be provided.

About This Accountant Role

This part-time Accountant vacancy is based near Stratford-upon-Avon and is ideal for someone with practice experience looking for flexible, hybrid working.

The salary is up to £42,000 (pro rata, dependent on experience), and the hours are 25–30 per week.
