We’re Hiring a Year End Accountant!
We're hiring a Year End Accountant. Here's everything you need to know if you're interested in the role.
Founded in 2008, Blu Sky employs over 20 people across two teams: our delivery team of accountants and tax experts (who are based from home across the North East of England) and our client relationship directors (who are located wherever the client needs them!).
At Blu Sky, our vision is ‘to be pioneers in the future of accounting for SMEs’. Our team combined with our cloud accounting technology enables us to inspire the future story of client businesses through numbers.
In 2018 we won the prestigious Xero UK mid-sized firm of the year award. And over the last few years our ambition to grow nationally from our base in the North East has gathered momentum, with, at the end of 2020, 20% of clients based in London. We are looking to hire talented individuals that will help continue our growth and contribute towards our growing reputation.
‘Insights’ is our key end to end strategic product, taking the data from raw book-keeping through to the production of management accounts, board packs, and in line with client needs and service levels, in-depth analysis. The end product provides key client value in being the main financial tools they utilise to plan and manage their business.
As a technician within our Insights and VAT team, reporting to the Insights Team Leader who reports directly to the CEO, it will be your responsibility to both deliver and help others drive quality, delivery and expertise in your area and for specific clients. Using your skills effectively, you’ll be able to identify and solve problems, whilst supporting the client relationship directors to deliver a five star service to our clients, and our wider company goals and objectives.
The successful candidate should have the ability to effectively deliver high quality output for clients, and to communicate across the business to both technical and non-technical stakeholders both commercial and accounting topics.
The purpose of the Cloud Accountant role is to ensure records for your client base are reconciled, as well as making sure management accounts, VAT returns and board packs are produced in accordance with planning and quality requirements.

Phase 2 is as much about giving you the opportunity to find out as much as possible about us and our company as it is about us finding out about you and your capabilities. We want you to be as excited about joining Blu Sky as we are about being here! With that philosophy in mind, we will be running the following selection process to ensure that each candidate is given a comprehensive view of what we are all about:

Part of this commitment is our promise that every team member and job applicant is treated equally, regardless of protected characteristics such as race, sexuality, religion or age.
Our company values of ownership, trust, no surprises, bigger than me, and doing it right, capture the essence of this statement, but we’re now being clear that this is key to our mission.
Are you passionate about joining a great team of pioneering accountants who want to drive accountancy through the 202s? Does working in a fast-paced environment that’s growing quickly sound exciting to you?
