• Proven experience in an accountancy practice, with the ability to manage and review work as a Client Manager.
• A proactive, client-focused approach with a passion for delivering outstanding service.

• Unique experiences and opportunities beyond traditional accountancy firms.
• Free parking and a range of additional benefits.
