Accounts Assistant

NXTGEN is delighted to be partnering with a growing and progressive Accountancy Practice in Norwich to recruit an Accounts Assistant for their expanding Accounts team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to continue developing their career within a firm that genuinely invests in its people, technology, and future.

The practice is currently experiencing an exciting period of growth and change, with continued investment in new systems, processes, and resources to ensure both clients and employees receive the very best support. As a result, this is an excellent time to join a business that is evolving whilst maintaining the friendly, collaborative culture that has always been at the heart of its success.

You'll be joining a team that has an excellent balance of experienced professionals and trainees, creating an environment where you'll feel supported from day one. Whether you're looking to strengthen your technical knowledge, gain more confidence with clients, or continue your professional studies, you'll have experienced colleagues around you who are invested in helping you succeed.

Unlike many traditional practice roles, this position offers exposure to a wide variety of clients and accounting work from an early stage. You'll have the opportunity to build relationships with clients, develop your technical skills across multiple service areas, and gain experience that many larger firms simply can't offer at this stage of your career. If you're someone who enjoys variety and wants to keep learning, this role will provide the platform to do exactly that.

Key Responsibilities:

• Preparing year-end accounts for a varied portfolio of clients.
• Preparing VAT returns across a range of industries.
• Supporting the preparation of corporation tax and personal tax returns.
• Assisting clients with bookkeeping and cloud accounting software, including Xero.
• Building strong relationships with clients, responding to queries and providing ongoing support.
• Working alongside senior team members on a range of accounting and advisory assignments.

What We're Looking For:

• Previous experience working within an accountancy practice.
• AAT qualified, studying towards AAT/ACCA/ACA, or qualified by experience.
• Strong communication skills and confidence building relationships with clients.
• A proactive attitude with a genuine desire to continue learning and developing your career.

This is an excellent opportunity for an Accounts Assistant looking to join a modern practice where you'll gain more exposure, responsibility, and support than you might find elsewhere. Working alongside an experienced and approachable team, you'll be encouraged to develop your skills, build lasting client relationships, and progress your career within a firm whose employees and clients are at the heart of what they do.
