Sellick Partnership is working with a well-established SME consultancy based in Manchester city centre who are looking for an Accounts Assistant to join their growing finance team permanently. This business has grown significantly and counts some of the UK's most recognisable names among its clients. They're a people-first organisation with a genuinely positive culture.
