Senior Accountant / Client Manager
Nottingham | £38,000–£45,000 DOE | Hybrid & Flexible Working
Full or part-time hours considered
Are you a qualified or experienced practice accountant who enjoys the client side of your role, but would like more ownership, flexibility and autonomy?
We're working with a small, modern accountancy practice in Nottingham looking to add an experienced accountant to its team.
This isn't a highly structured practice where your next step means another layer of management or moving further away from the actual work. The structure here is deliberately flat.
You'll work alongside a small team of credible, experienced accountants, take genuine ownership of your own client portfolio and remain hands on with the work – while building strong, direct relationships with the businesses you support.
The Opportunity
You'll manage a varied portfolio of SME clients, taking responsibility for their accounts and ensuring deadlines and compliance requirements are met. Day to day, that will include:
- Preparing limited company, partnership and sole trader accounts
- Preparing accounts to FRS 102 and FRS 105
- Corporation tax returns
- Managing your own workload and client deadlines
- Building relationships directly with clients and responding to queries
- Working collaboratively with the wider team
- VAT return preparation and filing where required
- Confirmation Statements and other Companies House filings
- Using systems including Xero, IRIS, Excel and similar accounting software
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
It's a hands-on position, but one with plenty of autonomy.
Rather than work being passed through several levels of review and management, you'll have the opportunity to understand your clients properly and take responsibility for delivering a great service to them.
Who we are looking for
You may be ACA or ACCA qualified and currently working within a larger practice, but looking for an environment where you can have more ownership of your clients and greater flexibility over how you work.
Equally, you might already work within an independent practice and simply be looking for a modern, grown-up environment without unnecessary hierarchy.
We're also happy to consider an experienced part-qualified accountant or AAT-qualified individual who can demonstrate the right level of practice experience and technical capability.
You'll need:
- At least four years' relevant accountancy practice experience
- Strong accounts preparation experience across a variety of business structures
- Experience of FRS 102 and FRS 105
- Corporation tax experience
- The confidence to manage your own workload and deadlines
- Excellent attention to detail and organisation
- A proactive and reliable approach
- To enjoy working as part of a small, collaborative team

A genuinely flexible environment
One of the biggest attractions here is flexibility.
There is a hybrid working model, with the team spending part of their working time in the Nottingham office, but flexibility is genuinely part of how the practice operates.
Part-time hours will also be considered, making this an interesting opportunity for someone who wants to continue developing their career in practice without necessarily working a traditional five day week.
You'll be joining a small team where people are trusted to manage their responsibilities, work closely together and look after their clients without layers of hierarchy.
If you're looking for a practice role where you can stay hands on, own your client relationships and have a little more freedom around how work fits into your life, we'd be very happy to tell you more.
