Job Description
Accountant / Senior Accountant
Forward-Thinking Boutique Firm | 4-Day Week | Greater Manchester
Looking for an accountancy role where your insight actually matters - and your life outside work does too?
We’re working with a modern, commercially focused accountancy practice in Greater Manchester that’s growing fast and doing things differently. They’re now looking for an experienced Accountant / Accounts Senior to join their collaborative team and work closely with entrepreneurial, ambitious clients.
The headline?
• 4-day working week (Tuesday–Friday)

* Statutory year-end accounts
* Corporation tax compliance & submissions
* Management accounts & performance reporting
* VAT returns and bookkeeping oversight

* Supporting advisory projects that genuinely help clients grow
This isn’t a sales role - but it is perfect for someone who’s commercially minded, enjoys understanding how businesses work, and wants to add value beyond compliance.
Why This Role Is Different
* Advisory-focused with regular client interaction
* Offshore support so you can focus on review & insight
* 4-day week (Tue–Fri, 8am–6pm) - real work-life balance
