Part-Qualified Assistant Accountant

I'm supporting a well‑regarded independent practice in central Harrogate that is looking to hire a PQ ACA/ACCA (or strong AAT candidate). The firm is stable, friendly, and offers genuine development - ideal for someone who wants broad exposure.
What You'll Be DoingYou'll join a close‑knit Accounting team, working across:

Accounts Preparation for a diverse client base
Bookkeeping responsibilities - they need someone with 1-2 years' practice experience
Optional development into Audit, VAT, and other technical areas - they're happy to train
Working directly with partners and gaining real responsibility early on
Why This Role Stands Out

Full study support (ACA/ACCA)
Central Harrogate location (parking options nearby)
Supportive partners and a collaborative culture
Exposure to a wide range of work, not just one discipline
Salary up to £35k for the right person
Who They're Looking For

PQ ACA/ACCA or AAT-qualified with practice experience
Someone who enjoys accounts prep and wants to grow
A personable, grounded individual who fits well into a small team
