Are you an accountant who enjoys client ownership but wants something more modern, social and forward‑thinking than a traditional practice environment? Do you want to be part of a business where personality, progression and people genuinely matter?
This is not your typical practice role.
Our client is a modern, ambitious accountancy firm that combines technical excellence with a genuinely upbeat, collaborative culture. Think less rigid hierarchy, more ownership, development and variety. It’s professional, but it’s also sociable, progressive and refreshingly non‑corporate.
They’re now looking to hire a Senior Accountant who enjoys working closely with clients, likes having autonomy, and wants to grow with the business.
The Opportunity
You’ll take responsibility for your own portfolio of clients, becoming their main point of contact and trusted adviser for all things accounting and reporting. You’ll be supported by a strong internal team while having the freedom to manage your work in a way that suits you.
Your role will include:
Managing day‑to‑day accounting records and financial systems for a range of clients
Preparing monthly, quarterly and year‑end financial reports to agreed timetables
Overseeing cash flow positions and coordinating payments where required
Supporting with management accounts preparation
Handling UK compliance submissions, including VAT and other statutory filings
Completing balance sheet reviews and reconciliations
Coordinating year‑end accounts and liaising with external accountants and auditors
Building long‑term, trusted relationships with clients and their stakeholders What Makes This Role Different
This is a business that actively encourages people to get involved, speak up and help shape how things are done. Alongside your core client work, you’ll have the chance to:
Support and mentor junior team members
Contribute ideas to improve ways of working and client delivery
Get involved in wider finance projects and internal initiatives
Develop commercially, not just technically
Progress clearly and realistically as the firm continues to grow What They’re Looking For
You’ll likely come from a practice or practice‑style background and enjoy working with multiple clients.
You’ll bring:
Strong experience in UK bookkeeping, management accounting and reporting
A proactive, organised approach and high attention to detail
Confidence managing client relationships and deadlines
A problem‑solving mindset with the ability to offer practical solutions
Strong communication skills and a collaborative attitude
Commercial awareness and curiosity about how businesses operate Qualifications:
AAT, ACCA, ACA or CIMA qualified (or actively studying towards qualification) with full study support available.
What’s On Offer
Salary up to £38,000 depending on experience
Annual bonus
Hybrid working
Ongoing study support
A clear and structured progression path If you’re looking for a modern practice environment that goes beyond the mundane, where you can enjoy your work, grow your career and feel part of something progressive, this could be a great next move.
