You won’t be pigeonholed into one area or lost in a large corporate structure. Instead, you’ll gain broad exposure across accounts, tax, VAT, and advisory work, developing into a commercially minded, client-facing accountant. You’ll work closely with an experienced Practice Manager and a collaborative team who genuinely support each other’s development. Professional growth is embedded in their culture, with clear pathways and structured progression.
The Role Ideal for an ACA/ACCA qualified accountant with existing experience in a UK practice, confident managing a portfolio and delivering high-quality client service.
Key responsibilities include:
Preparing and reviewing year-end accounts, corporation tax, self-assessment, and property accounts. Overseeing VAT returns and bookkeeping reviews. Managing your own portfolio of clients and acting as their main point of contact. Identifying opportunities to add value beyond compliance. Reviewing junior team members’ work and supporting their development. Contributing ideas for process improvements and best practice.
What You’ll Bring ACA or ACCA qualified (or equivalent). Minimum 5 years’ experience in an accountancy practice. Strong technical knowledge across accounts prep, VAT, self-assessment, and corporation tax. Proficiency with cloud accounting software (Xero, Quick Books, Sage). Excellent communication skills and a client-first approach. A proactive mindset with the ability to mentor junior staff. What’s on Offer Competitive salary DOE. Exposure to a wide range of clients and sectors.
Clear progression opportunities toward senior leadership. Profit-related rewards. Modern office environment with flexible working options. Private healthcare plan via salary sacrifice.
