Are you an experienced Accounts Senior ready to step away from the day-to-day accounts production and take on a more strategic, leadership-focused role?

We're looking for an ambitious individual to oversee a high performing year end accounts team; alongside driving the growth and direction of the department.

• Shifting focus from routine accounts prep to leadership, planning, and innovation
• Allocating work and reviewing completed work from the team
• Operating as a sound board for the more complex queries
• Recruiting additional staff to facilitate growth

About You:

• Ideally ACA / ACCA qualified (non-qualified and QBE's are being considered)
• Must have previous experience in practice
• Keen to step into a leadership and management role
• You might be from a contractor accounting background ready for a broader remit, or already working across a diverse client base
• Passionate about mentoring, driving change, and playing a strategic role in a growing firm

What's in It for You?

• Up to 17% annual bonus
• Flexible & hybrid working
• Extended holidays for better work-life balance
• Modern, spacious offices
• A genuinely supportive senior leadership team
• Unmatched exposure and career development opportunities as the firm expands
