If you're an experienced Accounts Manager in practice who enjoys working with clients, developing people and maintaining high standards, this could be worth exploring.

We're working with an established, forward-thinking accountancy firm looking to appoint an Accounts & Business Advisory Manager.

The role offers a good mix of technical responsibility, client contact and team management, within a supportive business that genuinely values flexibility and professional development.

• Providing clear, practical advice based on financial information.
• Coaching and developing team members.
  
  Managing workflow, deadlines and technical standards.
• Supporting process improvements and wider team development.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll have a strong background in accounts within practice, ideally with experience managing clients and reviewing the work of others.

Experience in a mid-tier or independent accountancy firm would be particularly relevant, although the firm is open-minded about backgrounds.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• ACCA, ACA or equivalent qualification, or strong relevant experience.
• Good technical knowledge of accounts preparation and compliance.
• Experience managing client relationships and reviewing accounts.
• Confidence supporting and developing colleagues.
• Strong organisational skills and a collaborative approach.

Why Consider It?

The firm offers an established team, a varied client base and a working environment built around trust and flexibility.

Key benefits include:

• Salary up to £60,000, depending on experience.
• Flexible working, with home and office options.
• Full-time or part-time opportunities.
• A varied portfolio across several sectors.
• Opportunities to contribute to team development and process improvements.
• A supportive culture with an emphasis on professional development.

This could suit an existing Accounts Manager looking for a change of environment, or someone ready to take the next step.
