Strategic Partner: Lead Growth & Advisory Team

Iconic Resourcing Ltd; Renfrew; On-site; GBP 120,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job description

Partner (accountancy practice)

Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Full-time

Salary negotiable

Partnership opportunities with genuine influence are rare. You'll shape strategy, lead a high-performing advisory team, grow an established client portfolio, and become a key figure in the Newcastle business community. For an ambitious Director or existing Partner, this role offers the platform, autonomy, and commercial opportunity to build something meaningful while enjoying the backing of a highly successful national firm.

This is more than a client portfolio management role. You'll have a seat at the table, influence strategic decisions, drive business growth, and build your own profile in the Newcastle market. With the backing of a substantial national platform, but the agility and freedom to operate entrepreneurially, this is an opportunity to accelerate both your career and your earning potential.

What you'll do

You'll take responsibility for leading a sizeable Accounts & Business Advisory team, providing direction, mentorship, and support from trainee through to Director level. Alongside managing a portfolio of entrepreneurial businesses and owner-managed clients, you'll act as a trusted adviser, helping clients navigate growth, challenges, and strategic decision-making.

A significant part of the role will involve driving new business opportunities, strengthening existing client relationships, and identifying opportunities to deliver broader advisory services. You'll work closely with fellow Partners and senior leaders across the business, contributing to firm-wide initiatives while helping shape the future growth of the practice in the region.

What you'll need
• ACA, ACCA, CA or equivalent qualified
• Significant experience within accountancy practice at Director, Partner, or senior leadership level
• Strong background across accounts, business advisory, and client relationship management
• Proven track record of winning and developing new business opportunities
• Experience leading and developing high-performing teams
• Commercially minded with strong strategic thinking capability
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Ambition to influence, lead, and contribute to the growth of a successful practice

About the company

You'll be joining a Top 10 accountancy and advisory firm, with a strong reputation for supporting entrepreneurial businesses, owner-managed companies, and growing organisations across multiple sectors.

The firm combines the scale, resources, and opportunities of a national practice with a culture that empowers local leaders to make decisions and build lasting client relationships. With a strong commitment to career progression, flexible working, and advisory-led growth, this is an environment where Partners are encouraged to shape their own success while helping drive the future direction of the business.
