Client Accountant (Practice, Accounts & VAT focus) Norwich (Hybrid) £30,000 to £38,000 FTE Most practice roles quietly push you away from the books the moment you're any good at them. This one does the opposite. If bookkeeping and VAT are where you do your best work, and you'd rather build on that than escape it, keep reading. The firm A well-established Norwich practice with an impressive clientbase across the UK, and a portfolio that doesn't look like everyone else's. Think owner-managed SMEs, entrepreneurs, charities, CICs and purpose-led businesses that measure success by more than the bottom line. The work runs well past compliance too, into R&D tax, carbon accounting, ESG reporting and fractional CFO support. They're also ahead of the curve on how the work actually gets done. AI tooling is built into the daily routine, an offshore partner handles a slice of the bookkeeping and accounts production, and the leadership team has real technical weight behind it. The role Hands-on, and proudly so. Bookkeeping and VAT are the core of the job, not a phase you're expected to grow out of. Day to day, the bookkeeping reaches you three ways. Some you'll do yourself, for the clients where the detail demands a human. Some comes through AI tools, where you review, correct and put your name to the output. And some is delivered by the offshore team, where you supervise, quality-check and carry the result. Whichever route it takes, the standard doesn't move. On top of that, you'll handle: VAT compliance under MTD, covering standard, flat rate, partial exemption and OSS where it applies Year-end accounts prepared to review-ready standard under FRS 102 1A and FRS 105 Corporation tax computations and CT600 returns Straightforward self-assessment returns (SA100) for directors and individuals Managing your own client portfolio, from meetings and deadlines to correspondence and spotting upsell opportunities Supervising and quality-controlling the offshore bookkeeping work Who it suits Someone who trained in practice and is still in the work, not watching it from a distance. You see bookkeeping as the thing that makes everything else possible, not a box you've already ticked. More specifically: Solid working knowledge of UK VAT, FRS 102/105 and corporation tax, earned in practice rather than industry MAAT qualified, or part-ACCA/ACA with study actively underway Still delivering bookkeeping yourself, through AI tools, or by overseeing an offshore team Able to prepare review-ready limited company accounts and CT returns on your own Genuinely client-facing, comfortable on camera and able to run a meeting without a safety net Used to supervising others and handling rework in a constructive way Confident in cloud accounting: Xero, FreeAgent or QuickBooks What's on offer £30,000 to £38,000 FTE, depending on experience and qualifications Fully funded BUPA healthcare insurance Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme Profit-sharing bonus scheme 30 to 33 days' holiday inclusive of bank holidays (pro-rata, based on working pattern, effective 1 July 2026) Study support for ongoing ACCA/ACA qualifications Hybrid and flexible working after probation Workplace pension Cycle to work scheme A lovely office with great transport links A clear path into a fully autonomous account management role How to apply Get in touch with Lydia at ProTalent.

A small, successful and well-established accountancy firm in Worthing is looking for a Personal Tax Manager to take ownership of a varied client portfolio. This is a chance to step into a senior tax role within a firm that values quality work, long-standing client relationships, and a sensible approach to working life.

Audit Assistant Manager / Audit Manager Eastbourne £45,000 £60,000 A genuinely good independent firm with its own dedicated audit department. That combination is harder to find than you'd think. A well-established and highly regarded independent accountancy practice in Eastbourne is looking for an Audit Assistant Manager or Audit Manager, with the level set against the right person, to join a settled, partner-led team. The firm is properly independent. Not part of a network, not part of a wider group, and not reporting into a head office somewhere else. It is, however, big enough to run a dedicated audit function in-house, which means real audits, real planning work, and proper client exposure rather than slotting into someone else's process. You'll also get a genuine mix of audit and accounts work. If you enjoy variety and don't want to live inside a busy-season cycle for ten months of the year, this kind of split is hard to beat. The role: Running audits from planning through to completion Managing and reviewing the work of junior staff A mix of audit and accounts assignments across a varied client base Direct contact with partners and clients Helping shape how the audit team grows over the next few years Who this will suit: ACA or ACCA qualified 2 to 4+ years post-qualified, depending on level Practice-trained, comfortable across both audit and accounts Looking for proper progression in a stable, well-run firm Based in or able to commute to Eastbourne What's on offer: £45,000 to £60,000, depending on level and experience Strong, clearly mapped progression A genuine balance of audit and accounts work Real client exposure across a varied portfolio A long-established firm with a supportive, low-turnover team If you're an experienced auditor looking for a step up, or a manager who's quietly outgrown your current setup, this is well worth a conversation.

HR & Sustainability Lead Norwich Part-time, 24 hours Hybrid c.£40,000 Senior HR roles and proper part-time hours rarely go together. This one does. A B Corp certified accountancy practice in Norwich is looking for an HR & Sustainability Lead to own the people function and the firm's B Corp and sustainability commitments. The role reports directly to the CEO and is genuinely senior, not a hours-light version of something junior. This is an established firm with around 600 clients, strong professional standards, and a values-led identity that holds up to scrutiny. The HR function is already built, the B Corp framework is in place. What this role does is keep both running properly and tell the story externally. The role The remit splits across three areas: People. Induction, four-monthly performance cycles, recruitment end-to-end, grievance and disciplinary casework, JEDI, wellbeing, health and safety. Co-ordination across both the UK team and an outsourced team based overseas. Sustainability. Maintaining B Corp certification in good standing, preparing for the next recertification, the annual Impact Report, and the firm's wider ethical accreditations. External communications and content that markets the firm's purpose-led identity. Standards and reward. Pay benchmarking, the annual review cycle, training completion across the team, CPD co-ordination, and reinforcing the firm's standards on data protection, ethics and methods of working. External HR and H&S support is already in place, so you won't be alone on technical employment law or compliance. You'll know when to draw on it. Who this will suit Someone with substantial HR experience, probably already at HR Manager or HR Lead level, who wants seniority and ownership at part-time hours. Professional services experience would help. You'll be confident running difficult conversations as well as supportive ones, commercially minded, and aligned with the firm's values without being precious about them. CIPD qualification is desirable, not essential. What's on offer Circa £40,000 24 hours per week, three days or flexed over five Hybrid working from a Norwich base BUPA private medical insurance Employee Assistance Programme and mental health first aid provision Climate Perks Living Wage employer with proper benchmarking A direct line to the CEO and real ownership of the brief If you're an experienced HR professional looking for a senior part-time role in a firm that genuinely lives its values, this is one worth a proper conversation.
