IPS Finance is working with an established independent accountancy practice in Barnsley on the appointment of a Practice Manager.

This is an opportunity to join a successful local firm at an important stage in its development, taking a key role in the day to day running of the practice and working closely with the existing owners.

The firm has a loyal and established client base, predominantly made up of owner managed businesses, and has built its reputation around providing a personal and commercially focused service.

For the right person, there is scope for the position to develop beyond a traditional Practice Manager role, with the potential for future buy in and an ownership stake in the firm.

Key responsibilities

• Managing a portfolio of owner managed business clients and acting as a key point of contact
• Reviewing accounts and tax work prepared by the wider team
• Preparing accounts where required, particularly for more complex clients
• Supporting and developing junior and qualified members of the team
• Overseeing workflow and helping to manage deadlines across the practice
• Advising clients on accounting software, systems and general business matters
• Working closely with the owners on the continued development of the firm
• Building strong relationships with existing clients and identifying opportunities to provide additional support
• Playing an increasingly important role in the management and future direction of the practice
