About the firm
A well established independent firm of Chartered Accountants in Ashford, with more than thirty years behind them and a strong reputation across Kent.
They are big enough to do proper work and small enough that you won't get lost in it. The client base is varied, covering owner-managed businesses, construction, farming, healthcare, property and charities, so the bookkeeping work has real variety in it rather than the same job on repeat.
The role
You'd look after your own portfolio of clients, handling their bookkeeping end to end and being the person they speak to when they have a question.

VAT returns, start to finish
CIS returns and compliance
