Our firm
UHY Hacker Young is a Top 20 firm of Chartered Accountants based in Nottingham. We are ambitious people, united in our mission to be exceptional accountants and business advisers delivering seamlessly integrated client service. Through our UHY network we harness global intelligence and combine this with local presence and knowledge to share technical and commercial insight.
Role overview
Are you a self-motivated, driven individual looking for a new challenge in a growing and ambitious team? If you are, then we have a great role for you at our Nottingham office because we are looking for someone to join us as an Accounts Supervisor with a view to progressing to a manager role in the short term. You can join a talented group of individuals, in a growing and dynamic department, offering a range of services to our clients to enable them to prosper.
You will be building great relationships with clients, including limited companies and sole traders, operating in a wide range of business sectors. Whilst this vacancy is for an Accounts Supervisor, we are looking for someone with the technical ability, interpersonal skills and personal drive and ambition to move into a full managerial position within the near future. An Accounts Supervisor at UHY has a hybrid role – including management of a portfolio of clients reporting directly to the partner as well as still having the opportunity to prepare accounts and gain an in-depth understanding of our clients’ businesses. A Supervisor also has a great opportunity to take a leading role in training and driving the development of the wider team.
