Client Manager / Senior Accountant - Part-Time (3 Days per Week)
Up to £55,000 FTE
East Berkshire
Permanent | Part-Time 25-30 hours a week
Are you looking for a flexible, part-time role (3 days per week) where your experience is valued, your contributions are recognised, and your professional development is genuinely supported?
An established, people-first accountancy practice in East Berkshire is seeking an experienced and motivated Senior Accountant / Client Manager to join its growing team. This role is ideal for a practice accountant looking for variety, autonomy, and a healthy work-life balance within a supportive and collaborative environment.
The Role
You'll play a key role in delivering a high standard of service to a diverse portfolio of SME clients. This is a broad, hands-on position offering both responsibility and progression, including:
1. Preparation and review of statutory accounts
2. Corporation tax computations and returns
3. Assisting with monthly and quarterly management accounts
4. Managing client queries and providing advice on accounting treatments, tax, and compliance
5. Reviewing work prepared by junior team members and providing support and mentoring
6. Overseeing bookkeeping and working with cloud-based systems such as Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage
7. Collaborating with senior team members on client development and advisory work
8. Keeping up to date with relevant legislation and technical changes
This is a varied role rather than a siloed position, with exposure across multiple areas of the practice as your confidence and expertise grow.
About You
You'll be a proactive, client-focused accountant with a genuine interest in practice work. Ideally, you will have:
9. At least 5 years' experience in an accountancy practice
10. ACA or ACCA qualification
11. Strong technical knowledge of UK accounting standards, tax, and VAT
12. Experience using cloud accounting platforms
13. Excellent attention to detail and the ability to work independently
14. Confident client-facing and communication skills
15. A collaborative, positive attitude and a willingness to support the wider team
The Offer
You'll be joining a firm that prioritises trust, flexibility, and personal development. Benefits include:
16. Part-time working (3 days per week)
17. Hybrid working available (1-2 days per week from home)
18. 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays (FTE)
19. Regular team socials and events
20. A friendly, close-knit team culture with a strong focus on collaboration and support
Whether you're seeking improved work-life balance, greater responsibility, or a more engaging and people-focused environment, this opportunity offers all three.
