Full-time Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm
What’s in It for You
* £45,000 salary plus 8% non-contributory pension — because we value your expertise.
* 33 days’ holiday (including bank holidays) to recharge properly.
* A hybrid setup – work mostly from home with just one day a week in our friendly Livingston office.
* High trust, low bureaucracy: you’ll have autonomy, support, and real flexibility.

Are you a forward-thinking Chartered Accountant who thrives on building client relationships and delivering real impact — not just crunching numbers? Join a modern, tech-driven practice that’s redefining how accountants work with Owner Managed Businesses across Scotland.
Why This Role?
You’ll act as the trusted advisor and main point of contact for a portfolio of ambitious clients — helping them grow, solve problems, and plan for the future. This is not a traditional compliance-heavy role. It’s a client-focused position where your insight, communication, and initiative will make a real difference every day.
What You’ll Do
* Manage your own portfolio of OMB clients, taking full responsibility for their accounting and tax affairs.
* Lead on annual accounts, corporation and personal tax, and management reporting.
* Build strong, long-term relationships as your clients’ go-to contact.
* Use modern tools like Xero, TaxCalc, Auto Entry, Apron, Xenon, and Syft Analytics to streamline delivery and focus on insight rather than admin.
* Collaborate closely with our senior team to shape better systems, processes, and client experiences.
About You
You’re a qualified accountant (ICAS, ICAEW, ACCA, or CIMA) or qualified by experience, with solid practice background and strong IT skills. You enjoy speaking to clients, solving problems, and seeing your advice make a difference. You’ll also complete an online competency test as part of our recruitment process.
About Us
We’re an independent firm of Chartered Accountants serving clients across Edinburgh, West Lothian, and Glasgow. We combine professional rigour with a friendly, down-to-earth approach — bringing big-firm technology and thinking to local owner-managed businesses.
If you want to be part of a progressive, supportive team where you can work flexibly, grow your skills, and build genuine client relationships, we’d love to hear from you.
