Junior Client Accountant (AAT Level 4) | Eastbourne | £30,000 – £35,000

If you're AAT qualified, enjoy client work and want a clear route into managing your own portfolio, this is a good one to look at.

A growing, forward-thinking practice in Eastbourne is looking for an AAT Level 4 accountant to join their accounts team and support the Client Managers. The firm is expanding through organic growth and acquisition, and there's a genuine pathway here from Junior Client Accountant through to Client Manager as your experience builds.

You'll get real variety, hands-on client contact and the kind of exposure that helps you grow rather than keeping you stuck on one task.

What you'll be doing:

  • Preparing statutory accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies

  • Preparing corporation tax computations and supporting schedules

  • Handling bookkeeping reviews and VAT returns

  • Producing monthly and quarterly management accounts

  • Preparing Self Assessment returns and liaising with HMRC where needed

  • Building strong relationships with a portfolio of owner-managed businesses

What's on offer:
  • Salary of £30,000 – £35,000 depending on experience

  • A clear progression path: Junior Client Accountant to Client Accountant to Client Manager

  • Study support where applicable, including ACCA or ACA

  • Company pension and private healthcare after probation

  • Ongoing training and a modern, cloud-based (Xero) working environment

  • Full-time, Monday to Friday

Ideal for someone with a couple of years' practice experience who's ready to take more ownership and build a long-term career.
