Key responsibilities include:
* Acting as a trusted advisor to SME clients, supporting with financial strategy and performance
* Overseeing management accounts, forecasting, budgeting and financial reporting

* Leading regular client meetings, presenting financial insights and recommendations
* Identifying risks and opportunities, helping clients make informed commercial decisions
* Working collaboratively with internal teams across tax, audit and payroll
* Coaching and mentoring both internal team members and client finance teams
About You
We’re looking for a commercially minded, confident individual who enjoys working closely with clients and adding real value.
* ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or equivalent)
* Strong background within an accountancy practice environment, ideally in outsourcing
* Experience working with SMEs / owner-managed businesses
* Comfortable delivering financial insights to senior stakeholders
* A natural relationship builder with excellent communication skills
* Experience managing or mentoring team members
Desirable (but not essential):
* Exposure to growth businesses, scale-ups or turnaround environments
* Experience supporting fundraising, M&A or exit planning
What’s on Offer
* Salary in the region of £60,000 – £70,000
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays, with option to buy/sell additional days
* Enhanced family-friendly policies
* Pension scheme
* Regular social events and a collaborative team culture
* Hybrid / flexible working options available
Why This Role?
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to move into a more advisory-led, client-facing position, away from pure compliance.
You’ll be joining a firm that is:
* Growing and forward-thinking
* Invested in modern ways of working
* Focused on delivering real value to clients
