About the Role

Are you ready to step into a role where you're trusted to manage your own portfolio, build lasting client relationships and genuinely influence the success of a growing accountancy practice?

If you're enjoying practice but looking for more autonomy, greater flexibility with a strong focus on work life balance and a clearer route for career progression, this could your next career opportunity.

This is an opening to join a well-established independent firm that continues to grow while keeping the supportive, collaborative culture that can often disappear as businesses expand.

You'll work with a varied portfolio of owner-managed businesses, charities and SMEs, with the freedom to shape the balance of accounts, tax and audit work around your strengths and interests.

Whether your background is heavily weighted towards accounts or you already enjoy a broader mix including audit, you'll be supported to build a role that suits your experience while working closely with approachable directors who value your ideas and development.

Role Overview

  • Review statutory accounts prepared under UK accounting standards.
  • Manage and review corporation tax returns and personal tax returns.
  • Plan and oversee audit assignments where appropriate to your experience.
  • Support, mentor and develop junior members of the team.
  • Monitor portfolio performance, work in progress and billing.

The Ideal Candidate

  • ACA or ACCA qualified with experience managing a portfolio within an accountancy practice
  • Strong technical knowledge of accounts preparation and planning & reviewing audits
  • Comfortable building long-term client relationships and offering proactive advice
  • Previous experience supervising or mentoring colleagues would be beneficial

What's on Offer

  • A starting salary up to £65,000, dependent upon experience
  • Hybrid working with a typical 3 office / 2 home split.
  • Additional flexibility to support family commitments during school breaks
  • Genuine opportunities for professional development and career progression.
  • Additional benefits including company pension
  • Supportive culture with regular collaboration alongside the firm's directors.
  • Coventry based, with excellent transport links and onsite parking
