We believe in fostering happiness and fulfilment in your work, whilst supporting and inspiring you to grow. We understand that your life extends beyond the workplace, which is why our Smart Working culture promotes flexibility, allowing you to choose when and where you work, whilst still providing excellent client care.
We are a well-established, independently owned firm of chartered accountants and business advisors, offering a comprehensive range of services including audit, accounting, tax, and corporate finance. We proudly support a diverse client base across the UK and internationally, with a strong focus on entrepreneurial, owner-managed businesses that share our passion for innovation.
About The Role
We've recently launched our new Oxford office and are looking for an ambitious, commercially driven Senior Manager, Director or Partner to lead its growth. You will work closely with senior leadership, including Board-level support, while benefiting from the expertise, infrastructure and reputation of an established national firm.
This is a rare opportunity to build something from day one. As the office lead, you will play a pivotal role in establishing Price Bailey's presence in the region, developing a strong local client base and building a high-performing team around you.
While your technical specialism is important, this role is ultimately about impact. Developing relationships, winning work and delivering high-quality client outcomes. We are open to candidates from a range of backgrounds, including corporation tax, personal tax, accounts or M&A advisory.
