Looking for more than another Senior Accountant role?
Perhaps you've reached the point where you're confident managing clients and reviewing work, but the next step always seems just out of reach.
This growing independent practice isn't hiring to stand still. They're investing in someone with the ambition to become a future Practice Manager, giving you the opportunity to gradually take on more responsibility, commercial exposure, and leadership over the next two years.
Responsibility That Grows with You
As your responsibility develops, you’ll progress into line management within 6–12 months, with salary increasing to around £52,000–£60,000. The longer-term aim is progression into Practice Manager within 24 months, with responsibility for budgets, performance, and growth, alongside a 20% net profit share on top of your basic salary.
