About the role
At IRIS Software Group, we help thousands of accountants across the UK work smarter and more efficiently. From sole practitioners to large accountancy firms, our software supports important areas including accounts production, tax, compliance and practice management.
Our Accountancy Customer Services team plays a vital role in that. They’re the people customers turn to when they need help understanding our software, resolving an issue or getting back to work quickly.
We’re looking for friendly, motivated people with a foundation in finance, tax or accountancy to join the team supporting our IRIS Accountancy software.
🧾 What Will You Be Doing?
Our customers rely on IRIS software every day to complete important work accurately and on time.
When they have a question or something isn’t working as expected, you’ll be one of the first people they speak to.
You’ll listen to the issue, investigate what’s happening, explain the solution clearly and help the customer get back on track. Your finance or accountancy knowledge will help you understand what they’re trying to achieve and communicate in a way that makes sense to them.
You’ll:
•
Respond to customer queries via phone, email and other support channels
•
Investigate and resolve software and process-related questions
•
Explain solutions clearly and guide customers through the right steps
•
Escalate more complex issues to specialist teams when needed
•
Log and manage customer cases through to resolution
•
Share useful knowledge and help improve support information
•
Work towards service, quality and customer satisfaction targets
•
Represent IRIS with professionalism, patience and empathy
You don’t need previous IRIS product knowledge – we’ll provide the training you need.
You’ll be based from our Heathrow Approach office in Slough for at least three days per week, with flexibility to work from home on the remaining days.

Comfortable using Microsoft Office and learning new systems
•
Calm when dealing with customer queries or problems
•
Curious and keen to develop their knowledge
Whether you’ve worked within a finance team, supported tax or accounts processes, or are building your knowledge through study, this is a great opportunity to combine your accounting understanding with software and customer support experience.
