Your new company

This opportunity sits within a growing, modern accountancy firm that is continuing to invest in its outsourced finance and management accounts offering. The firm works with a broad SME client base and operates with an informal, approachable culture – professional but not stuffy, ambitious without ego.
This is not a replacement hire. The role has been created to support growth and to develop the next layer of management within the team.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting the Director with their client portfolio and acting as a day‑to‑day point of contact
• Preparing and reviewing management accounts for sole traders and SME clients
• Overseeing bookkeeping and outsourced finance work
• Preparing and reviewing VAT returns and assisting with tax compliance
• Liaising with audit, tax and payroll teams across the wider firm
• Reviewing trainee work and providing feedback
• Assisting with reporting, analysis and early exposure to FP&A‑style work
• Contributing to client growth and business development opportunities
