THIS ISN'T YOUR TYPICAL PRACTICE ROLE. If you are an experienced practice accountant who has reached the point where you want to have an influence rather than simply process work, this could be an opportunity worth exploring.
We are working on behalf of a successful, independent accountancy practice that has built its reputation through relationships, trust and genuinely personal client service. The owner is now looking for someone to become their trusted Number 2 - someone who can bring their own ideas, challenge constructively, take ownership and help shape the next stage of the business.
AND THAT'S WHERE THE ROLE GETS INTERESTING. What will you actually be doing? This is a deliberately broad position for someone who enjoys understanding businesses, solving problems and working with people, rather than sitting behind a desk producing accounts all day. You'll be involved in:
- Managing and developing relationships with a portfolio of owner-managed businesses and SMEs
- Attending client, new-business and year-end meetings
- Preparing and reviewing management and year-end accounts
- Providing practical accounting advice and answering technical queries
- Identifying poor processes or accounting habits and helping clients put them right
- Supporting basic tax compliance and advisory work
