Welcome to Gall Robertson – a small but growing company of Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors based in Tweedbank and Peebles in the heart of the Scottish Borders. Director led and with a team of 18 people, we offer a full range of accountancy & business advisory services to a broad range of clients in key sectors such as agriculture & rural businesses; property & construction; manufacturing; healthcare plus entrepreneurial & start-up companies amongst many others. We work in tandem with our clients, acting as a key strategic business advisor to provide innovative, cost-effective solutions that maximise the performance and health of the business, whilst ensuring that your key accounting and tax affairs are taken care of so that you can focus on what you’re good at – running your business.
The Tweedbank office is ideally placed for all transport links across the country. We’re adjacent to Tweedbank Train Station which runs a regular and efficient service to Edinburgh (journey times are less than 1 hour) and we’re also next to both the A7 and A68 – the major arteries connecting the Borders to all major conurbations North and South.
The Peebles Office is in the middle of the town and easy to access from the town and surrounding areas.
Senior Accountant Role
We have an exciting opportunity to join the business as Director Designate based in either our Tweedbank or Peebles office. You will work closely with the existing Directors and Senior Management Team to effectively manage the day to day running of the practice, whilst also playing a key part in its sustainable, long-term growth. Specifically, your duties will include but not be limited to:
- Managing a diverse client portfolio, ensuring clients’ financial affairs are in order
- Supervising, mentoring and developing more junior staff members including the review of their work and supporting them with their professional qualifications
- Undertaking strategic reviews of clients’ businesses and offering advice on profitability, company structures, cashflow management and effective tax planning
- Carrying out bespoke project work for clients
- Undertaking business development to grow the practice
The Ideal Candidate
We are a people focussed firm, and we welcome applications from candidates currently working in professional practice and keen to secure a “step up”.
However, we will equally consider applications from candidates who trained in practice but have spent time in their career in industry/outwith practice. Full training and support will be given to get you back up to speed on those areas where you may be a little “rusty”.
The position is full time.
