Assistant Manager / Newly Minted Manager - Advisory‑Led Practice (4‑Day Week!) ✨If you're an ACA/ACCA‑qualified accountant who loves the advisory side of practice just as much as the numbers, this one is genuinely special.
I'm supporting a modern, forward‑thinking accountancy firm with multiple offices and a refreshingly human culture. Think relaxed, collaborative, tech‑positive, and big on empowering people to bring their personality to work. Oh, - and they operate a 4‑day / 30‑hour week as standard. Yes, really.
Your new role
You'll join their management team working with entrepreneurial, owner‑managed businesses. Your day‑to‑day will include reviewing accounts and tax work, improving processes, shaping financial and tax planning conversations, and giving clients clear, accessible insight that actually helps them run their business better. You'll also get involved in onboarding new clients, due diligence, and shaping business plans - genuinely varied, genuinely developmental.
What you'll need to succeed
You're ACA/ACCA qualified with around three years' practice experience, comfortable producing and reviewing statutory and management accounts, and keen to grow into a well‑rounded business advisor. You enjoy building relationships and translating numbers into something clients can actually use.
What you'll get in return
A supportive environment, bigger and more complex clients, future management opportunities, and a benefits package that genuinely values work-life balance:
* 4‑day / 30‑hour week
* Great holiday allowance
* Free parking
* A team who are friendly, down‑to‑earth, and invested in your development
