About the Role

Are you a qualified (ACCA or ACA) audit or accounts professional, seeking more freedom and influence?

You won’t be stuck in a rigid structure or just ticking compliance boxes. Instead, you’ll be trusted to lead, shape client relationships, and contribute to bigger commercial decisions while developing towards becoming a Responsible Individual (RI). You can truly build your career in a way that suits you!

If you’re a qualified practice professional looking for a firm that will invest in you to become a further leader, where you’re respected and given autonomy, not micromanaged, this is well worth exploring.

The Ideal Candidate

  • ACA or ACCA qualified (or equivalent) with experience of managing a portfolio of clients and leading audits within a UK accountancy practice
