Job description

As part of our process, suitably qualified applicants will receive a detailed video briefing outlining the firm’s structure, leadership expectations and operating model before any formal discussion takes place. This ensures full context before deciding whether to progress.

We are the embedded hiring partner to a leading accountancy firm operating a genuine 4 Day Working Week model.

This is not compressed hours. It is how the business runs. Clear expectations, disciplined productivity and strong commercial performance underpin the model.

An opportunity has arisen for a Senior Partner to take responsibility for multiple offices within the firm.

This is a visible leadership role combining regional oversight, commercial accountability and an active client portfolio.

You will:

• Lead the performance and profitability of your region
• Act as mentor and line manager to Associate Partners
• Drive commercial discipline across teams
• Retain and develop a portfolio of larger, more complex clients
• Contribute to strategic discussions at senior leadership level

This role sits between the Managing Director and Associate Partners, providing structure, clarity and accountability across the offices.

You will remain commercially active while shaping the direction and standards of the wider team.

We are looking for an experienced Partner or senior leader from practice who:

• Understands the commercial dynamics of a multi-office firm
• Has led senior managers or Partners before
• Can balance autonomy with accountability

The firm combines modern operating principles with strong traditional client relationships. The 4 Day Week model works because standards are high.

As part of our process, suitably qualified applicants will receive a detailed video briefing outlining the firm’s structure, leadership expectations and operating model before any formal discussion takes place. This ensures full context before deciding whether to progress.

If you are a senior practice leader ready to step into broader regional responsibility within a modern firm, we welcome a confidential application.
