At SHMS Accountants, we’re building something exceptional. A people-first practice with bold ambitions to become a Top 50 Accountancy Firm over the next decade. And we want the right people with us on that journey.

If you’re AAT qualified or ACCA/ACA part-qualified, enjoy variety in your work, and want clear progression without being lost in a big-firm machine, this could be the role you’ve been looking for.

The role

This is a practice-based Senior Accountant role, fully office-based at our Bournemouth office:

- 37.5 hours per week
- Flexitime available, provided hours are worked around our core hours of 09:00 – 16:30
- Salary: £35,000 – £45,000 (depending on experience)

What we’re looking for

  • AAT qualified or ACCA/ACA part-qualified (or equivalent)
  • At least 2 years’ experience in an accountancy practice
  • Solid knowledge of accounts preparation, VAT and tax basics
  • Experience with cloud accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks or Sage)
  • Someone who takes pride in their work, communicates well, and wants to progress
  • Ambition - you want to learn, grow and take on more responsibility over time

Why SHMS?

We believe happy, supported people deliver exceptional client service. Culture isn’t a slogan here, it’s how we operate every day.

You’ll benefit from:

  • Clear career progression as we grow and expand
  • Study support for professional qualifications
  • Profit share, rewarding you for your contribution to the firm’s success
  • Modern office environment with private parking and proper break-out space
  • AXA private healthcare via salary sacrifice (including family options)
