Ready for a practice that offers more than just year-end accounts?

If you're looking for a role where you'll have real client relationships, genuine career progression and the chance to be part of an ambitious, growing firm, this could be exactly what you're looking for.

We're recruiting on behalf of a modern, forward-thinking accountancy practice that's experiencing exciting growth. Rather than being just another number, you'll play a key role in supporting a diverse portfolio of owner-managed businesses while developing your own career in a collaborative and supportive environment.

If you've been thinking there must be something better out there, this might just be it.

What you'll be doing

You'll take ownership of your own client portfolio, becoming a trusted adviser rather than simply completing compliance work.

Your role will include:

• Managing a varied portfolio of clients and being their first point of contact
• Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts, management accounts and tax returns
• Providing proactive accounting, tax and business advice
• Supporting clients with budgeting, forecasting and cash flow planning
• Building long-term client relationships and helping businesses grow
• Reviewing work and mentoring junior members of the team
• Supporting advisory projects and business development initiatives
• Driving improvements through technology and smarter ways of working

What we're looking for

You'll already have experience within an accountancy practice and enjoy working closely with clients.

Ideally you'll have:

• ACA, ACCA or equivalent qualification (or be qualified by experience)
• Experience managing your own client portfolio
• Strong technical knowledge across accounts and tax
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Experience reviewing work and supporting junior colleagues
• A proactive, commercially minded approach with a passion for delivering great client service

Why make the move?

This isn't a practice that's standing still.

They're investing in their people, embracing modern technology and creating clear opportunities for progression as the business continues to grow.

In return, you'll receive:

• 💷 Up to £50,000 DOE
• 🏡 Hybrid working and genuine flexibility
• 📈 Clear career progression with a growing practice
• 🤝 A supportive, collaborative team culture
• 📚 Ongoing professional development
• 🚀 Exposure to interesting clients and advisory work not just compliance

Sound like the next step?

If you're ready to join a practice where your contribution is recognised, your development is supported and your career can genuinely move forward, we'd love to hear from you.
