Practice Manager (Accountancy)

If you've reached the point in your career where you want more than just managing workloads - this could be your next move. This Practice Manager opportunity offers the chance to step into a role where your ideas, leadership, and commercial thinking genuinely shape how a firm operates.

As a Practice Manager, you won't be stuck firefighting or buried in admin. Instead, you'll be trusted to improve processes, support people, and influence the direction of a growing accountancy practice. It's a role for someone who enjoys variety - from overseeing operations to enhancing client experience and driving performance behind the scenes.

This Practice Manager position is ideal if you're currently in practice and want more ownership, more visibility, and a clearer route to making an impact without needing to be on a partner track just yet.

Role Overview

• Oversee the day-to-day running of the practice across accounts, tax, payroll, and admin
• Improve systems, processes, and internal controls to drive efficiency
• Manage practice software and ensure deadlines are consistently met
• Monitor WIP, billing, and overall financial performance
• Support and develop staff, including performance and training
• Act as a key point of contact for client service and escalations
• Support business growth initiatives and operational strategy

The Ideal Candidate

• Background within an accountancy practice environment
• Confident managing people, workflows, and priorities
• Strong understanding of WIP, billing, and practice performance
• Comfortable using accountancy and practice management systems
• Clear communicator who can build trust with staff and clients
• Organised, commercially aware, and solutions-focused

What's on Offer

• £38,000 - £50,000 salary
• 8% employer pension contribution
• Death in service cover (3x salary)
• Income protection
• Healthcare cash plan
• Employee rewards platform
• Up to 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
