Practice Accountant/Practice Manager
Are you a qualified accountant who loves business, embraces technology, and enjoys solving problems? We’d love to have you on board!
We started out offering strategic FD services and process optimization for growing businesses with £1m+ turnovers. As demand has grown, so has our offering—we now provide a fully outsourced finance function, including management accounts, company secretarial, bookkeeping, payroll, and year-end services.
We’re looking for someone to take charge of delivering these services day-to-day. This is your chance to make your mark—to set up the systems, software, and processes you think work best. As we grow, you’ll also be building your own team, deciding who to bring on and when.
You’ll need solid experience with year-end accounts, payroll, VAT, and tax, plus a background in advising multi-entity businesses and directors on how to structure their companies and take profits efficiently.
We’re a fully digital business, and helping our clients adopt finance software and tech is a big part of what we do and is a key part of this role. You must be inquisitive about systems and keen to try new things.
If you’re after a role with variety, room to grow, and the chance to make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you!
