Rare opportunity for a dynamic individual to join our specialist music artist accountancy practice in an autonomous role where you’ll be reporting directly to the partners and helping shape the future of this area of our business.

You’ll be ambitious, joining our fast growing practice at ‘ground level’ and have complete responsibility for day to day practice management, managing client deadlines and developing practices and procedures. You will also be responsible for the training and development of a trainee accountant.

TON Chartered Accountants and Tax Advisors specialise in providing professional services to clients in the music, media and entertainment sectors. We cater for global music artists such as Kelis, Roni Size, Leona Lewis and Ry X, as well as supporting local based entertainers.

We are a modern practice, that strives to use technology and paperless solutions to provide a seamless and efficient service.
