On a daily basis, I prepare year-end accounts, business tax computations and VAT returns, as well as assisting clients with a range of queries, ranging from software support to the most tax-efficient way of purchasing machinery.
I enjoy a very varied role from day-to-day in the Kettering office, whether I am preparing capital gains tax calculations, working on inheritance tax matters or assisting with trust work, as well as overseeing the general tax compliance for our agricultural clients.
I joined the Agriculture and Property team in November 2017 as a qualified Accounts Senior, I jumped at this opportunity to progress my career and specialise in agriculture.
My position at Ellacotts LLP entails processing client accounts and tax computations, for Sole traders, Partnerships and Limited Companies. I manage the bookkeeping for a number of clients, submit VAT returns, and I undertake several client visits during the year.Â
It was the variety that you get working in a practice, which I missed, which is why I joined Ellacotts. My role at Ellacotts encompassed accounts preparation, as well as answering individual clients’ queries. It is the interaction with clients which is the most enjoyable,
I joined the Agriculture and Property team at Ellacotts in July 2017, completing my AAT studies alongside my practical work experience. This was my first experience of working in practice, and I am now progressing through further studies to become ACA qualified.
After starting at my local building society as a part-time receptionist, I worked my way up to my greatest achievement, becoming Branch Operations Manager where I was responsible for the branch network, training staff and ensuring service standards were met.
My role day to day includes looking after a wide range of agricultural and rural clients, including sole traders, partnerships, companies and large estates, with my main interests being in large landed estates and trusts.
My role here at Ellacotts is mainly focused on preparing the annual accounts and tax returns for our agricultural clients. I prepare a range of accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies along with individual, partnership and corporation tax returns. I also get involved in tax planning and preparation of Capital Gains Tax computations.
