Accounts Senior - Brighton

£38,000 - £45,000
Ref: 2124 Date Posted: Friday 11 Sep 2026

A true independent Brighton-based accountancy practice with a portfolio that actually keeps you interested.

A long-established independent firm of chartered accountants in central Brighton is looking for an Accounts Senior. Around twenty people, directors on the floor, and a client base that spans retail, construction, property, healthcare and professional services.

The mix here is the selling point. Alongside the usual owner-managed company work there is charity, service charge and trust work, so you are not preparing the same set of accounts fifty times a year.

What you’ll be doing

  • Preparing accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
  • Corporation tax computations and returns alongside the accounts
  • VAT work and review of bookkeeping prepared by the trainees
  • Talking to clients directly rather than going through a manager
  • Getting clients up and running on Xero
  • Supporting on audit work if that interests you

What’s on offer

  • £38,000 to £45,000 depending on experience
  • Hybrid and flexible working
  • Study support if you are still finishing ACA or ACCA
  • Real exposure to audit, charity and trust work
  • A small, settled team where people tend to stay
  • Brighton 

If you are ACA or ACCA qualified, or qualified by experience, and you want a bit more variety than your current seat gives you, this is worth a look.
