Dolly Parton was wrong...


Working - 5 is not the only way to make a living, you get to pick at Carter Backer Winter LLP.


Being an experienced Secretary, nothing probably phases you, a bursting virtual in-tray? 'not a problem' I hear you cry, 'it's not bursting it just needs prioritising', multiple outlook calendars to keep track of, new client files to set up on CCH and requestingKYC documentation....a total walk in the park.

Our Partners, Directors, Managers, Seniors and Semi Seniors within the Audit and Accounts team know they can't function without the support of Secretaries and the wider admin team, so much so the admin team won team of the year at the last CBW awards night


Working in a partnership environment isn't going to be new to you, you know the drill with time sheets, opening new client files and chasing KYC documentation, generating engagement letters, and keeping your team in the loop. _What might be new to you is the relaxed, collaborative environment which puts a huge emphasis on work life balance and staff wellbeing... enough about that. back to the role._


Picture this the bulk of your day is
working alongside our other secretary tackling a virtual in-tray mainly filled with accounts focused work accounts work is going to keep you busy Preparing documents for filing, filing accountswith Companies House using CCH, filing CT600s, identifying and clearing IBRRL filing errors, finalising accounting year ends and uploading final documents to ProAudit or CCH working papers.
