We’re delighted to be supporting a friendly and well-established accountancy practice in Sutton Coldfield who are looking to recruit an experienced Senior Bookkeeper to join their growing team. This is a key role within the practice, offering autonomy, client ownership, and the opportunity to support and guide junior team members.
