Job description

Are you ready to join a forward-thinking accountancy practice that's breaking the mould of traditional firms? I'm working with a newly established growing, dynamic team who are aiming to work as a true extension of their clients' businesses - not just number crunchers, but trusted partners helping them make smarter financial decisions.

With offices in Cambridge, Suffolk, and an expanding presence in London, they support a wide variety of clients through their entire financial journey:

• Bookkeeping, VAT & CIS - handled by our skilled bookkeeping team.
• Management Accounts & Advisory - shaping financial insight, not just reports.
• Year-End, Tax & Consulting - offering strategic, high-level guidance.

They are now looking for a Senior Accountant to bridge the gap between their bookkeepers and their Directors. This is an opportunity to take ownership, bring experience to the team, and make a visible impact on both clients and the business.

What we're looking for:

• 10-15 years' experience in practice (likely from a smaller firm).
• Hands-on, proactive, and comfortable just "getting it done."
• Strong technical ability across accounts, VAT, and corporation tax.

What we offer:

• Salary up to £55,000
• Hybrid working
• The chance to work with a firm that's embracing tech, modern working, and genuine client partnership.
• Scope to influence and grow with the business as they continue to scale.
• A referral incentive scheme if you enjoy client liaison, business development and bringing on new clients.

This isn't a traditional accountancy role. My client is building something different - a practice that doesn't just prepare accounts, but helps clients thrive.

If you're an experienced "do-er" who wants to join a collaborative, forward-thinking team, we'd love to hear from you.
