We're working with a well-established and highly regarded professional services firm seeking a Lead Accountant to join its team in Dumfries. This is a key role within a dynamic and client-focused environment, offering the opportunity to lead agricultural accountancy services with a strong focus on quality, compliance, and efficiency.

5. Leveraging your network to identify new business opportunities organically.
About you:
You are a highly skilled and experienced accountancy professional with either a strong background in agricultural finance or a passion for the agricultural sector with a deep understanding of the agricultural industry.

With a focus on digital accounting and future technology, you will have a good understanding of cloud-based systems such as Xero, Sage, and QuickBooks, enabling you to deliver accurate, high-quality financial services.
Your excellent interpersonal skills allow you to build lasting relationships with clients and colleagues alike. Approachable and professional, you communicate clearly and effectively, collaborating with various functions and stakeholders.
Above all, you set high expectations for yourself and those around you. You take pride in delivering exceptional service, demonstrating professionalism, integrity, and respect in every aspect of your work.
