Every new client we work with starts the same way. A business owner reaches out, by phone, email or an enquiry form, a bit unsure and maybe a bit stressed about their numbers. And someone replies.
How quickly and how warmly that reply comes shapes everything after it. There’s a human on the other side of every call and every email, and we’re looking for someone who never forgets it.
That someone could be you.
The role
Front of house. People first.
You’ll be the friendly voice on the phone, the warm reply in the inbox and the welcoming face at the door. Your week is a good mix of talking to clients and new leads, managing enquiries, handling emails, and keeping the office running smoothly.
The heart of the job is great service: quick responses, real care, and making sure nobody is left waiting or wondering. You’ll take pride in that, and it’s where you’ll make the biggest difference to our clients.

Day to day
What you’ll actually be doing
Plenty of conversation, quick replies across every channel, and the admin that keeps a busy practice ticking.
Answer the phones
Take calls from clients and new enquiries, help where you can, and get messages to the right person.
Call new leads back
Ring new enquiries back promptly, find out what they need, and pass them to the right person.
Manage enquiries in our CRM
Keep every enquiry logged and moving, and use the CRM’s prompts to make sure everyone gets a timely reply.
Reply to client queries quickly, with friendly, well‑written emails that make people feel heard.
Chase what we need
Follow up with clients by phone and email for the paperwork and information that gets their work done.
Greet clients and visitors when they come into the office on Bath Road.
Keep the office running
Data entry, scanning, sorting the post, and keeping everything organised.
A straight word: some of the admin is simple and a bit routine. We’d rather tell you now than surprise you later. If looking after people lights you up, the rest is easy.
Not stuffy accountants in suits.
We’re a modern, tech‑driven accountancy practice in Cheltenham. We work with ambitious business owners who want to grow, and the place feels more like a marketing company than anything dusty.
It’s a friendly team where you can ask whatever you need. It’s a hardworking team that pulls together. You don’t need to know a thing about accountancy. We’ll show you how everything works, and give you full training on our systems.
Who you’ll be joining
We’re a hardworking, close‑knit bunch who pull together, cheer each other on and genuinely care about doing great work for our clients. Here are a few of the people you’ll be working alongside every day.

Always learning and getting 1% better, every day.
Bring the magic
Going above and beyond to add that extra bit of wow for the people we serve.
Gro with us. Literally.
We’re growth‑oriented, for our clients and for our people. We love working with ambitious people who want to be the best version of themselves, and over time we’ll shape the role around what you’re great at and what you enjoy.
Who this is for
- You love giving people great service. You pride yourself on quick responses and remember there’s a human on the other side of every call and email.
- You’re great on the phone. Confident, warm and clear, including making outgoing calls.
- You’ve done this kind of work before in an office, reception, client services or customer service role.
- You write a friendly, tidy email and you’re organised, reliable and accurate with data entry.
- You’re comfortable with everyday tech (email, spreadsheets, CRM and online systems) and happy to learn new ones.
- You’ll happily muck in with the less glamorous jobs too.
Who this isn't for
- Picking up the phone or replying promptly feels like a chore.
- You’d rather keep your head down than talk to people.
- You reach for excuses before ownership when something goes wrong.
We look for people who own it, look after each other, and find small ways to make a client’s day. A quick, thoughtful reply can be that moment.
