Senior Accountant - Basildon

Senior Accountant | Leading Regional Firm | Basildon | £45,000 (DOE) | Hybrid Working | Clear Progression Path

AJ Chambers are delighted to be working with a respected and fast-growing accountancy practice based in Basildon. Known for their collaborative culture, commitment to staff development, and strong client relationships, the firm is entering an exciting new chapter — including a move to brand-new, modern office space following a surge of new business wins.

This is the perfect opportunity for a confident and ambitious Senior Accountant looking to take the next step in their career within a firm that genuinely invests in its people.

The Role

You’ll be joining a dynamic, forward-thinking team where your voice is heard, and your contributions are recognised. As a Senior Accountant, you’ll be involved in delivering high-quality accounts services to a wide-ranging portfolio, with additional exposure to audit and tax. You’ll work closely with partners, build direct client relationships, and play a vital role in the ongoing growth of the firm.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and review year-end accounts for a diverse mix of SMEs, limited companies, and sole traders
• Support and review the work of junior team members, offering guidance where needed
• Assist with Corporation Tax computations and basic Personal Tax returns
• Take part in audit assignments (light touch — around 10-15% of the role)
• Build and maintain strong client relationships, handling queries and offering proactive advice
• Work closely with partners and managers on client strategy and practice development

Why This Role Stands Out

? Work Closely With Partners - Benefit from direct access to experienced, approachable partners who actively mentor and support your growth
? Genuine Career Progression - Clear internal pathways and a strong track record of promoting from within
? Hybrid Working - A flexible balance between home and office life
? Exciting Office Move - Be part of a growing firm’s move into brand-new, spacious offices designed to support modern, collaborative working
? Fantastic Team Culture - Regular socials, a friendly atmosphere, and a genuine sense of community
? Ongoing Training - Full CPD support, plus the option to continue with professional qualifications (if applicable)

This is more than just a Senior Accountant role — it’s a chance to join a firm on the rise, where your development is taken seriously, and your contributions genuinely matter.
