ACA/ACCA qualified and considering your next move in practice? I'm currently recruiting for a Senior Accountant position with a growing mid-tier accountancy and business advisory firm.

This is a role for someone who wants to move beyond simply preparing accounts and become a trusted adviser to their clients. You'll work with a varied portfolio of businesses, build meaningful client relationships and have the opportunity to develop your commercial and leadership skills.

The opportunity

  • Preparing year-end financial statements
  • Calculating corporation and personal tax liabilities
  • Identifying tax planning opportunities
  • Advising clients on accounting processes and ways to improve efficiency
  • Managing and developing long-term client relationships
  • Working collaboratively with colleagues across the wider business
  • Coaching and supporting accounts trainees

The variety of the client base means you'll get exposure to different businesses and challenges, making this a great opportunity for someone who enjoys understanding how businesses operate rather than simply completing the numbers.

Who would suit this role?

  • ACA or ACCA qualified
  • Experienced within an accountancy practice
  • Comfortable working with a varied portfolio, including owner-managed businesses
  • Confident communicating directly with clients
  • Commercially minded and interested in providing advice, not just compliance
  • Keen to develop their leadership skills and support more junior colleagues
  • Technically strong and comfortable with accounting technology; CCH experience would be beneficial

The culture

One of the key attractions of this opportunity is the culture. The firm has built a collaborative environment where people are encouraged to share ideas, develop their skills and build strong relationships with both colleagues and clients. There is a genuine emphasis on learning and development, alongside a busy social and wellbeing calendar.

It's a good fit for someone who wants to work somewhere that combines the professionalism and client exposure of a rapidly growing firm with a friendly, sociable and people-focused environment. The package also includes hybrid working, competitive salary, generous holiday allowance, learning and development opportunities, wellbeing support and a volunteer day.

If you're an experienced practice accountant looking for a role where you can strengthen your advisory skills, develop your leadership experience and build a long-term career, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation. Get in touch to find out more.
