Role Requirements
- Hit the team fee target.
- Forecast weekly to month-end. Flag risks early with a plan, not just the problem. The team’s numbers are your numbers, no surprises.
- Manage by exception, every job has budget hours in the system before work starts.
- Weekly red, amber, green review. You act on amber, not just red.
- Hold the standard, sets out our communication and quality standards. Your job is to uphold them in the team’s work, in client interactions, and in how you conduct yourself. The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.
- Run monthly 1:1s. Not a chat. A meeting that drives outcomes, with documented actions. Six-monthly development reviews on time, every team member on a defined career pathway.
- Address underperformance early. Probation reviews on time. Performance concerns acted on within two weeks. The senior leadership team should never have to ask if something is being looked at you’re already on it.
- Own how client issues get resolved. Wherever they start, they end with you. You drive the fix and you stop it happening twice.
- The SCA stays informed on every issue whether they lead the client conversation, you handle it direct, or they just need a heads-up is your call.
Personal Requirements
- Two-plus years in practice, reviewer level or above. Solid grounding in corporation tax, personal tax, accounts production, and business software systems.
- Some experience leading or coordinating people in any context, even informally. If you’ve never managed anyone but you’ve been the de facto leader of a team or project, that counts.
- ACA/ACCA welcome but not essential. Operational and people judgement matters more than letters after your name.

- Profit share scheme (after qualifying period in the role)
- Medical insurance (after qualifying period in the role)
- Free quality lunch 4 days a week
