NXTGEN have a fantastic opportunity for an Assistant Accountant to join a Top 50 firm of accountants in their Peterborough office. You'll be joining a firm with great aspiration and ambition to become a Top 20 firm whilst retaining the high level of quality and service that they pride themselves on. You'll be lead by some excellent Partners who have their employees interests at heart, offering excellent training, mentoring and coaching to all, whilst challenging you to be the best accountant you can be. As Assistant Accountant you will work closely with the portfolio managers to deliver month end and annual accounts for a range of SME clients. You will gain experience across a range of sectors and will have the opportunity to act in a client facing capacity as the role develops. This broad and all encompassing role will also see the Assistant Accountant support with general bookkeeping tasks for clients as well as ensuring all VAT and corporate Tax submissions are delivered on time.

The successful candidate will ideally be AAT qualified and either looking to study further or already enrolled with ACA/ACCA. Those candidates who are qualified by experience but have significant experience gained within the world of Accountancy Practice are also encouraged to apply. An excellent training program is available to all those needing study support. Previous experience working with an SME client portfolio would be advantageous but not essential combined with any experience in producing Management Accounts. Excellent career development prospects are available with this firm so candidates will ideally be looking to continue their development into a Senior Accountant role.
