Accounts Manager → Senior Manager / Director Track
Location: Exeter or Torbay (either office)
Working pattern: Full-time | Hybrid once embedded
Salary: c. £40,000 initially + clear progression
The Opportunity
We are working closely with a well-established and forward-thinking accountancy practice that is looking to appoint an Accounts Manager as part of a planned succession and growth strategy.
This role has arisen as a senior individual within the firm begins to step back, creating a genuine opportunity for someone ambitious to come in, embed themselves into the practice, and progress quickly through to Senior Manager and ultimately Director level.
The Role
Initially joining at Manager level, you will take responsibility for a varied client portfolio while also playing a key role in the future direction of the firm.
Key responsibilities will include:
Managing and reviewing accounts for a range of owner-managed businesses
Acting as a trusted advisor to clients, building long-term relationships
Supporting business development activity and helping to bring in new clients
Contributing ideas around growth, systems, and future-proofing the practice
Working closely with senior leadership as part of the firm’s succession plan
Supporting and mentoring junior team members
Over time, this role will naturally evolve into a Senior Manager and Director-level position, with increased commercial input and strategic influence.
About You
This role would suit someone who is:
AAT Level 4 qualified or ACA / ACCA qualified
Has 5–10 years’ experience within an accountancy practice
Confident in accounts preparation and client-facing work
Commercially minded, with an interest in business development and growth
Personable, charismatic, and confident, communicating with clients and colleagues
Keen to bring fresh ideas, energy, and a modern approach to practice
Looking for fast progression and a long-term future within one firm
What’s on Offer
Starting salary around £40k, with strong progression as responsibility increases
Fast-track development to Senior Manager and Director level
Hybrid working once settled into the role
Choice of Exeter or Torbay office
A genuine opportunity to shape the future of a growing practice
