Senior Accountant / Senior Payroll Practice Stoke-on-Trent ASAP start Confidential I m working on a genuinely nice opportunity with a well-established national accountancy practice that s managed to grow without losing its family-orientated, local feel. This role has come about because someone long-standing is leaving, and the firm wants to bring the right person in early, rather than rushing a replacement. Ideally, they d like someone to start as soon as possible to allow for a proper handover. It s a hands-on senior role supporting local clients, many of whom value face-to-face relationships. The work is heavily payroll-focused (around 75%), alongside accounts and client work.
