About the firm
A well-established independent practice in East Sussex with a strong corporate team and a client base that punches well above the average high-street firm. Clients here are owner-managed businesses with turnovers from £2m up to £100m, so the work is varied, involved and genuinely interesting.
The role
This is real client management, not a compliance treadmill. You'll take ownership of larger assignments and become a trusted point of contact for clients and directors.
- Running company accounts and statutory work across your portfolio
- Preparing management accounts, cash flow forecasts and ad hoc pieces
- Handling corporation tax and higher-level computations, including CT600s
- Supporting the partners through due diligence on sales and acquisitions
- Advising clients on their accounting systems and training their teams where needed
- Audit as part of the mix rather than the whole job, capped at around 35 to 40%
Who this will suit
You'll be ACA or ACCA qualified with solid practice experience and the confidence to lead client relationships. You like variety, you enjoy getting properly stuck in with clients, and you want somewhere you can grow rather than plateau.
What's on offer
- A varied, high-level portfolio from day one
- Close working relationships with the directors on meatier work
- For the right person, a genuine long-term route towards partnership
- A capable, supportive team around you
