A Chartered Accountancy and Business Advisory practice, specialising in acting for companies and individuals in the Creative Industries, is recruiting a qualified accountant to join their growing team.

The practice has found that qualified accountants with a skill set and preference for outsourced services such as bookkeeping, VAT returns, management accounts, and commercial advisory are preferred to bookkeepers.
