    About Critchleys

    Founded in 1906, Critchleys is Oxford's leading firm of accountants and business advisers, with a professional and friendly culture. We are forward thinking and provide a full range of Accountancy services to our substantial, growing and diverse client base.

    We have a skilled team of people at all levels in whom we place great value, and are strong investors in our people. The firm has a reputation for technical excellence, training and delivering a responsive service to our clients which we strive to continue through our future appointments.

    Based in the heart of the city centre, our offices are close to train and bus links and offers our staff a fresh, modern and inspiring environment to work in.

    The role

    Working in the Business Services team you will be responsible for the preparation and completion of financial year end accounts for sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies.

    You will have a high attention to detail and understand and be able to follow processes, procedures and methodologies. You should also be able to adapt to changing priorities and have a flexible approach to problem solving and new ways of working.

    You will have the confidence to work on your own initiative, but also be able to recognise when you need assistance.

    Teamwork, good time management skills, the ability to prioritise and work to tight deadlines in a steady, thorough and methodical manner, and to see a job through to its conclusion, will be needed for this busy role.
