ACCA qualified accountant required to join the Sovereign Accountants team. 

Exciting opportunity to work within the KHCS Group of companies and expand the business.

Must have experience and familiar with SAGE and IRIS systems. 

Position available immediately.

Most people who start up in business do so because they have a good business proposition and the enterprise and commitment to see it through, not because they are experts in the legal, financial, and fiscal aspects of running a business.

Indeed, these matters can often seem daunting, and even off-putting, to the budding entrepreneur.  You do not need to be an expert in these fields to succeed; with the support of our team of trained experts and the benefit of our experience, we will help you evaluate your ideas in a constructive and realistic manner.

We can also help you to:

• Decide on the most suitable structure for your business – sole trader, partnership, limited liability partnership or limited company
• Prepare a business plan, cashflow projections, budgets, and trading forecasts
• Assess your finance requirements, advise on the best sources of finance, and draw up the necessary proposals
• Establish a good working relationship with your bank
• Complete any registration procedures with Companies House and HM Revenue & Customs
• Deal with company secretarial issues
• Set up a recording system for your internal use and for complying with statutory requirements
