Accounts Senior
My main duties involve the preparation of annual accounts, tax returns and VAT Returns for limited companies, sole traders and partnerships. My responsibilities are to ensure that we are filing accurate accounts and returns for clients whilst helping them be as tax efficient as possible.
The day always starts with a cup of tea! Then I will spend a couple of hours working through my emails, answering client queries and carrying out any ad-hoc work. I will spend some time on the phone speaking with new and existing clients.
The rest of the day is then spent working on accounts, tax returns and VAT returns with any impending deadlines taking priority.
Getting my 4 year old son up, ready and into school, as well as myself into work before 9am is quite a challenge! Work wise, we have a very diverse client base here at TAP so at times there can be some very technical issues that I have not come across before, which can sometimes require extensive research.
A lot of our clients are new to business so it can be difficult to understand the tax and VAT systems. Particularly when moving from being employed to working through their own limited company.
I carry out continuous professional development (CPD) so that my knowledge is up to date and I just try to explain as best I can.
I try to reassure clients that we are here to worry about the accounts and tax side of things while they can concentrate on what they know best, which is whatever their chosen business is.
All of it really! I actually wanted to be an accountant from the age of 13/14 so I do really enjoy what I do.
The people here are fab, I have made some great friends. And we are really looked after by the Managing Director and the Manager – we are treated to lunch twice a week and quarterly staff nights out! It is a great place to work.
Mathematics and problem solving are the most useful… and being able to use a calculator can come in handy!
Nandos! Although you are likely to find me in a children’s play area with my son!
Having my son.
Sassy and social, although some colleagues may describe me as demanding, I just see that as a girl knowing what she wants!
Prison Break! I made the mistake of watching episode one and now I am hooked…..again!
My mum and dad – they are the best parents and grandparents I could ask for.
If you could have a dinner party with any three people in the world who would they be? Pink, Dwayne Johnson, and James Cordon.
