Senior Manager / Associate / Director – General Practice

We are looking to recruit an experienced Senior Manager, Associate or Director to join an established accountancy practice. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious and commercially minded accountancy professional with a strong general practice background who is looking to take the next step in their career.

The role offers a high level of autonomy, the opportunity to take ownership of client relationships and the chance to play an important part in the continued development of the practice. There is also genuine scope for progression for someone looking to build on their existing experience and take on further responsibility.

The role

The successful candidate will take responsibility for a varied portfolio of general practice clients, acting as a trusted adviser and providing support across a broad range of accountancy and business matters.

Responsibilities are likely to include:

• Managing and developing a portfolio of clients across a range of sectors.

• Overseeing the preparation and review of statutory accounts and financial statements.

• Providing advice and support on accounting, tax and wider business matters.

• Building and maintaining strong, long-term client relationships.

• Reviewing work and providing guidance and support to more junior members of the team.

• Supporting the development and growth of the practice.

• Identifying opportunities to add value to clients and develop new business relationships.

• Taking ownership of client matters and working with a high degree of autonomy.

• Contributing to the strategic direction and future development of the firm, depending on experience and level of appointment.

About you

We are keen to speak with individuals who have:

• A strong background within an accountancy practice.

• Experience working within general practice, with exposure to a broad range of accounts and tax matters.

• Experience managing a varied client portfolio and handling client relationships independently.

• The ability to review work, provide technical guidance and support colleagues.

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.

• A proactive and commercially minded approach.

• The confidence to work autonomously, take ownership and make decisions.

• The ambition to develop their career and take on further responsibility.

ACA or ACCA qualification would be advantageous, particularly for candidates considering an Associate or Director-level position.

The opportunity

This is a particularly good opportunity for someone who wants more than simply managing a portfolio. The practice is looking for an individual who can bring experience, initiative and commercial awareness, with the opportunity to have a genuine influence on the business.

There is:

• A high level of autonomy and trust.

• Scope to develop and grow an existing client portfolio.

• Opportunities to take on greater responsibility and leadership.

• Genuine long-term progression prospects.

• The chance to make a meaningful contribution to the future of the practice.

We would be interested in speaking with established General Practice Senior Managers, Associates or Directors who are considering their next career move and would welcome a role offering autonomy, responsibility and progression.
