Your New Company
This isnt your average accountancy practice. Youll be joining a boutique advisory firm thats carved out a reputation for delivering strategic accounting, tax, and business solutions that actually make a difference. Their client list? Think high:profile UK and international owner:managed businesses, including names youd recognise from the media and household brands. They dont just tick compliance boxes:they give clients the clarity and commercial insight to make bold, long:term decisions. If youre tired of being a cog in a big machine, this is where your expertise will matter.
Your New Role
Youll step into a Chartered Accountant role thats more than just crunching numbers. Heres a flavour of what youll be doing:
Preparing statutory and management accounts for clients who make headlines, not headaches. Delegating tasks and keeping junior team members on track (without turning into David Brent). Mentoring trainees and shaping the next generation of accountants. Spotting opportunities for improvement and challenging the weve always done it this way brigade. Supporting Partners and Senior Management with their client portfolios. Getting involved in ad hoc projects:due diligence, funding proposals, cash flow forecasting:because variety is the spice of life. Assisting with audit planning and execution. Working closely with the tax team and external professionals to keep things slick.
What Youll Need to Succeed
Youll probably have:
ACA / ACCA qualification (or be close to it). A collaborative mindset but happy to fly solo when needed. Experience with accounting software like Xero, QuickBooks, IRIS, or CCH. Strong analytical chops and commercial awareness. Organisational skills that would make Marie Kondo proud. Communication skills that dont put people to sleep.
What Youll Get in Return
A culture that values collaboration over corporate nonsense. Hybrid and flexible working:because life happens. A competitive salary that stacks up against the big firms. Modern offices and a social scene thats actually fun. 25 days holiday plus bank holidays. Clear, rapid career progression
