Job description

Senior Accountant / Finance Business Partner

Are you an experienced accountant who enjoys working closely with clients? Our client is looking for a Senior Accountant/Finance Business Partner to become the trusted financial support for a portfolio of ambitious businesses. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves building relationships, advising clients and helping businesses succeed, overseeing and supporting the work rather than being tied up in day-to-day bookkeeping and compliance.

You'll work directly with business owners, helping them understand their numbers, make better decisions and grow with confidence. You'll be their go-to when they want a clearer picture of what's going on in their business financially.

While their internal delivery teams take care of the technical production, your role is to make sure clients receive the very best advice, support and communication.

• Build strong, long-term relationships with business owners
• Translate financial information into clear, practical advice
• Lead quarterly and annual planning conversations through management accounts
• Identify opportunities, risks and insights that help clients grow
• Coordinate with their internal bookkeeping, payroll and accounts teams
• Champion your clients internally and ensure they receive exceptional service
• Monitor clients accounts including renewals, billing and overall engagement.

About Our Client:

Based in the heart of Brighton, Our client supports ambitious businesses with expert financial insight and outstanding advice.

They're a modern, advisory led practice that values curiosity and genuine partnership. They use smart systems, avoid unnecessary admin, and give their team the space to do meaningful work.

Their team culture is collaborative, creative and human. They work hard for their clients and believe that work should be enjoyable and rewarding.

Simply, they're just a bunch of nice people who care about doing excellent work and supporting each other.

About You:

You may be ACA or ACCA qualified, but what matters most is your ability to work with clients and deliver great advice.

They'd love to hear from you if you:

• Have strong experience in practice with client facing responsibility
• Enjoy building relationships and advising business owners
• Can explain financial information clearly and confidently
• Are organised and comfortable managing multiple clients
• Have experience reviewing management accounts
• Are confident using Xero or similar accounting platforms

What They Offer:

• Competitive salary (reviewed annually)
