Established in 1979, the firm provides a full suite of accountancy, audit, tax, and advisory services to a diverse portfolio of UK and international SME clients across sectors including technology, healthcare, prime property, renewable energy, and retail.
This is not a routine compliance role. We are seeking a high‑calibre ACA or ACCA qualified accountant who is ready to step into a client‑facing, portfolio leadership position with genuine influence, autonomy, and a clear pathway toward senior management.
You will work closely with senior leadership and partners, gaining exposure to strategic advisory work while developing into a trusted business adviser to your clients. The firm places strong emphasis on professional growth, commercial thinking, and long‑term career development.
What makes this role different
- Full ownership of a varied client portfolio from day one (with support where needed)

- A modern, tech‑enabled practice focused on efficiency and client value
Key Responsibilities
- Review and preparation of statutory accounts and corporation tax returns
- Management of a client portfolio, acting as the main point of contact
- Delivery of high‑quality client service and translating technical matters into clear, commercial advice
- Involvement / leading assignments including:
- Audit supervision
- Management accounts and reporting
- Cash flow forecasting and budgeting
- Business valuations and due diligence
- Handling client queries, technical research, and HMRC correspondence
- Supporting junior team members and contributing to their development
- Working with partners on business development and firm‑wide initiatives
About You
- ACA or ACCA qualified with approximately 3+ years post‑qualification experience in practice
- Strong technical grounding across accounts, tax, audit, and advisory work
- Confident managing client relationships and acting as a trusted adviser
- Commercially aware with a proactive, problem‑solving mindset
- Comfortable taking ownership and working with autonomy
- Ambitious, with a desire to progress into senior leadership
What's on Offer
- Competitive salary of £55,000 - £60,000 (with performance bonus up to ~£65,000 OTE)
- Flexible working arrangement (4 or 5 day week considered)
- Hybrid working (1-2 days from home)
- Supportive, transparent career development framework
- Regular exposure to senior stakeholders and decision‑making
- High levels of autonomy and responsibility from the outset
