About Us
At Benson Wood & Co, we’re redefining what it means to be an accountancy firm. We work with ambitious, values-led business owners who want more than year-end compliance - they want clarity, confidence, and a financial partner who speaks their language.
With nearly 90 years behind us, we’re deeply rooted in the Scottish business community, but we’re not stuck in the past. We believe in modern tools, plain-English advice, and a team culture built on clarity and mutual respect.
DUTIES
Your duties as the Accountant / Accounts Senior include:
• Year-End Accounts Preparation: Preparing statutory year-end accounts for limited companies, partnerships and sole traders
• Tax Compliance: Completing corporation tax and personal tax returns accurately and on time
• VAT & Bookkeeping Support: Assisting with VAT returns, bookkeeping and reconciliations where required
• Client Portfolio Management: Managing your own portfolio and acting as a primary point of contact for clients
• Deadline Management: Collaborating with the Client Manager to meet compliance deadlines and team objectives
• Mentoring & Review: Reviewing work of junior team members and supporting their development
• Financial Planning Support: Assisting with forecasting, budgeting and management accounts when relevant
• Cloud Accounting Systems: Using Xero, Dext and related digital tools to streamline processes and maintain paper-free workflows
CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS
You are confident in your technical skills, reliable under pressure, and take pride in delivering clear, accurate work. You’ve worked in a practice environment and want to keep growing.
Must-haves:
• Experience in an accountancy practice
• CA, ACCA or AAT qualified (or QBE with proven experience)
• Strong technical ability in accounts prep and tax
• Confidence to manage your own time and take ownership of work
• Experience with cloud tools like Xero & Dext
• Alignment to our values
Nice-to-haves:
• Experience reviewing junior colleagues’ work
• Interest in advisory services like forecasting or planning
What You’ll Get:
• A people-first culture built on clarity, trust, and teamwork
• A role that blends structure with autonomy and flexibility
• Personalised development support - CPD, technical training, and leadership opportunities
• A collaborative, ego-free team that supports each other’s success
• A forward-looking firm that uses tools like Xero, Dext, and Karbon and exploring emerging tech like AI to make your role more strategic (not to replace you, but to support your growth)
