Leading National Accountancy Practice | True 4-Day Week | Clear Route to Associate Partner

Lead your own team. Build lasting client relationships. Take the next step in your career.

We’re working with a leading national accountancy practice to appoint a Manager within their Sheffield office.

With a clear route to Associate Partner, this role is ideal for someone looking to progress into a senior leadership position while continuing to build strong client relationships.

A true 4-day week

This isn’t compressed hours or a trial scheme.

The practice operates a true company-wide 4-day week, on full pay, because they believe people perform at their best when they have more time outside of work.

You’ll keep the same responsibilities, the same career opportunities and the same salary, just with an extra day every week to yourself.

Alongside managing your own portfolio, you’ll lead and develop a team, review technical work, support junior team members, and help maintain the high standards the practice is known for.

The role offers a varied mix of management accounts, VAT, advisory work and people leadership, giving you the opportunity to make a genuine impact across both your clients and the wider team.
