Your new company
You'll be joining a modern, people-centred accountancy practice that genuinely prioritises wellbeing, trust, and quality work over box-ticking.
They've built a reputation for being open, supportive, and refreshingly down-to-earth - and unlike many firms…
There are absolutely no timesheets. They trust their team to deliver without tracking every six minutes of their day. It's an environment where relationships matter, ideas are welcomed, and you're encouraged to do your best work without the pressure of unnecessary admin.
Your new role
As an Accountant / Client Portfolio Manager, you'll be the reliable, approachable point of contact for your own portfolio of clients. Your work will include:
- Managing a varied portfolio with confidence and autonomy
- Preparing and reviewing accounts for SMEs and OMBs
- Handling a broad range of corporate tax and compliance tasks
- Supporting more complex cases alongside senior team members
- Reviewing junior work and helping trainees develop
- Bringing ideas to improve processes, workflows, and client experience
