Most portfolio roles are compliance with a bit of advisory bolted on. This one flips that round. You'll own your clients, get genuinely involved in their businesses, and have a real say in how the firm grows, with equity on the table further down the line.
A modern, commercially minded boutique practice in Greater Manchester is looking for a qualified accountant to take on a varied portfolio of owner-managed and limited company clients. The firm has built a smart structure with offshore support handling much of the prep, which frees you up to focus on review, advice and building relationships with business owners.
What you'll be doing:
Owning a portfolio of limited company clients from year-end accounts through to filing
Reviewing corporation tax and personal tax returns, spotting and correcting issues
Handling client tax queries and giving clear, practical advice in meetings
Preparing management accounts and talking clients through their numbers
Getting stuck into business advisory work that genuinely helps clients grow
Reviewing work prepared by the offshore team to keep standards high
About you:
ACA, ACCA, CIMA or AAT qualified (or finalist), trained in UK practice
Solid grounding in corporate and personal tax, confident reviewing returns and advising clients directly
Good working knowledge of VAT
Strong on management accounts and making sense of performance
Commercially switched-on, the sort who spots ways to help a client
Looking for a firm to grow with for the long term
What's on offer:
Four day working week (Tuesday to Friday, 8am to 6pm)
Competitive salary, depending on experience
A genuine route to equity as the firm grows
Advisory-led work with real client contact
Full support for professional development
On-site parking
