Part-time Senior Manager job in Norwich for Qualified Accountant

Hays are recruiting for a rare opportunity for a Qualified Accountant to join a highly respected boutique professional services firm. This role offers full end‑to‑end support across a diverse portfolio of owner‑managed businesses, while also providing genuine exposure to Corporate Finance, Forensic Accounting and wider advisory projects — the kind of experience that is typically unavailable in traditional practice roles. Available on a part‑time or full‑time basis

About the Role
The role is open at Manager or Senior Manager level and will require you to take responsibility for a designated portfolio of retained clients, delivering high-quality annual compliance and advisory services while also getting involved in a wide range of ad‑hoc commercial and financial projects. This is a hands-on, client-facing position within a fast-paced, multidisciplinary setting. You’ll work closely with experienced colleagues across accounting, tax, corporate advisory and forensic disciplines — giving you a truly rounded professional experience.

Key Responsibilities
  • Manage relationships with a varied portfolio of owner‑managed business clients.
  • Oversee budgets, workflow, billing and WIP management for your client base.
  • Review (and where required, prepare) statutory accounts, consolidated accounts and corporate tax computations.
  • Work with specialist tax colleagues to prepare personal tax returns and remuneration planning.
  • Support clients with accounting systems, management information and financial processes.
  • Deliver high-quality compliance files and liaise with external auditors when needed.
  • Identify wider commercial, financial or strategic needs and support clients with ad‑hoc advisory projects.
  • Mentor and support junior team members, contributing to a positive and collaborative team culture.

Unique Development Opportunities

This role stands out due to its genuine, structured exposure to specialist advisory services, including:
⭐ Corporate Finance
Experience in areas such as business valuations, transactional support and strategic growth advisory.
⭐ Forensic Services
Opportunities to support on expert witness assignments, disputes, valuations and investigative work.
⭐ Broader Financial Advisory
Involvement in commercial reviews, financial planning, and specific client projects (full training provided)

About You
  • Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA) with experience working in practice.
  • Strong technical grounding and experience advising owner‑managed businesses.
  • Excellent attention to detail and communication skills.
  • Commercially aware, proactive and client-focused.
  • A collaborative team member with a hands‑on approach.
  • Someone who enjoys variety and has a genuine appetite to broaden their skill set.
  • Ambitious, with a desire to progress your career within a respected and supportive peer group.

Why This Role?
  • A genuinely mixed and varied workload across compliance, advisory, and specialist projects.
  • A rare opportunity to diversify beyond traditional general practice, gaining Corporate Finance and Forensics exposure.
  • Clear, genuine career progression, supported by highly experienced, friendly colleagues.
  • A collaborative, mature working environment where development is prioritised and contributions are valued.

If you're looking for a role that goes far beyond a standard practice position — offering challenge, variety and a long-term career path — we’d love to hear from you.
