We're delighted to be working with a dynamic service-led business in Manchester who are specifically seeking a practice-trained ACA/ACCA qualified accountant to join them as Group Accountant. This is an exceptional opportunity for someone ready to make that crucial transition from practice into industry.
Why this role is perfect for practice professionals:
Our client understands how challenging it can be to move from practice to industry when so many businesses demand "industry experience" without giving you the opportunity to gain it. They're taking a different approach - they specifically want someone with your practice training and technical foundation.
This Group Accountant position offers the variety and challenge you're accustomed to in practice, working across 10+ companies with £100m+ turnover. You'll encounter different business models and accounting scenarios - something many single-company industry roles simply can't provide.
The role involves:
* Taking full ownership of monthly, quarterly and annual accounting processes
* Managing VAT returns, PAYE, statutory accounts and management reporting
* Working hands-on with Sage Line 50 and Sage Payroll systems
* Leading a small, focused accounting team
* Collaborating closely with the CEO/CFO on financial operations
* Overseeing credit control, accounts payable and purchasing processes
Our client is seeking:
* ACA or ACCA qualified professional with strong practice background
* Broad accounting experience beyond just audit
* Essential experience with Sage Line 50 and Sage Payroll
* Someone who excels at technical detail and accuracy
* A hands-on approach rather than purely strategic focus
* Ability to manage and develop a small team
What's on offer:
* Competitive salary and benefits package
* The variety and intellectual challenge you value from practice
* Supportive environment that genuinely appreciates technical expertise
* Clear career progression opportunities
* Manchester location - on-site role with collaborative culture
This is a rare opportunity to make a successful transition from practice to industry with an employer who truly values what you bring to the table.
