Account Manager (Accounts Production) Norwich (Hybrid) £30,000 to £38,000 FTE If you trained in practice, still love getting the books right, and want to work somewhere that actually stands for something this one is worth reading. About the firm This is a hugely successful accountancy practice based in Norwich, serving around 600 clients across the UK. Their client base reads differently to most - owner-managed SMEs, entrepreneurs, charities, CICs, and mission-driven organisations who care about more than just the numbers. The service offer goes beyond core compliance into R&D tax, carbon accounting, ESG reporting, and fractional CFO work. They are also genuinely forward-thinking about how they work. AI tooling is embedded into day-to-day practice. An offshore delivery partnership handles bookkeeping and accounts production for part of the portfolio. And the leadership has serious professional depth. The role This is a hands-on practice role. Bookkeeping and VAT sit at the heart of it - not as a stepping stone to something else, but as the foundation everything else is built on. In practice, that means three things: bookkeeping you do yourself for clients where complexity calls for it; bookkeeping done with AI tools that you review, correct, and stand behind; and bookkeeping done by the offshore team that you supervise, quality-check, and own the outcome of. The standard is the same whichever route it takes. Beyond bookkeeping, the role covers: VAT compliance under MTD: standard scheme, flat rate, partial exemption, and OSS where applicable Year-end accounts to review-ready standard (FRS 102 1A and FRS 105) Corporation tax computations and CT600 returns Straightforward personal self-assessment returns (SA100) for directors and individuals Account management for your own client portfolio - meetings, deadlines, correspondence, and upsell referrals Supervision and quality control of offshore bookkeeping delivery Who this will suit You have trained in accountancy practice and are still doing the work. You do not see bookkeeping as something you have moved past, you see it as the thing that makes everything else possible. Specifically: Confident working knowledge of UK VAT, FRS 102/105, and corporation tax built in practice, not industry MAAT qualified, or part-ACCA/ACA with active study underway Still delivering bookkeeping directly, through AI tools, or by supervising an offshore team Able to prepare review-ready limited company accounts and CT returns independently Client-facing by nature comfortable on camera, professional, and able to lead a meeting without backup Experienced at supervising others and managing rework constructively Fluent in cloud accounting: Xero, FreeAgent, or QuickBooks What s on offer £30,000 to £38,000 FTE, dependent 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 post probation Workplace pension Cycle to work scheme Beautiful office with great transport links A clear progression pathway into a fully autonomous account management role How to apply Get in touch with Lydia at ProTalent.

ABOUT THE BUSINESS We are a commercially driven, high-growth business that combines a media organisation, a growth programme for ambitious UK founders and CEOs, and - in the near future - a marketplace. We are tracking 5m in revenue this year and have a clear, credible plan to scale to 70m+ over the next three years. The business is owned and fully funded by Sir Richard Harpin - founder of HomeServe, which he built from a kitchen-table idea into a FTSE-listed home services business before its sale to Brookfield in 2024 for 4.1bn. Sir Richard is now deploying his operating experience and personal capital behind a single, ambitious mission: to double the number of large companies in the UK. This business sits at the heart of that mission, equipping the founders and leadership teams who will build them. Because the business is fully funded by Sir Richard there is no requirement to raise external capital, meaning leadership focus stays on commercial execution, operational discipline, and value creation rather than fundraising cycles. Having established early product-market and a growing commercial pipeline, we are building the leadership infrastructure to deliver the next phase of growth at pace. The CFO is a key partner to the CEO and carries a meaningful growth equity package, providing direct alignment with the long-term value being built. ROLE PURPOSE The CFO will serve as the commercial and financial engine of the business. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a commercially minded finance leader who has navigated the complexities of scale-up growth-from managing day-to-day financial operations through to board-level strategic reporting. You will be as comfortable completing the month-end close and a 12-week cash forecast as you are presenting financial performance and the strategic plan to the Board and shareholder, or rigorously challenging commercial deal margins with the sales team. We are looking for a professional level of delivery from an experienced, hands-on operator who thrives in ambiguity, moves seamlessly between detail and strategy, and applies strong commercial judgement to every financial decision. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Strategy & Commercial Planning Commercial Focus Daily Financial Operations & Control Financial Reporting & Control Monthly Reporting Against Budget Annual Budget & Monthly Reforecast Cash Flow Management, Treasury & Forecasting Partner to the CEO on People & Organisation Essential Experience Proven, hands-on CFO or senior finance leadership experience within a UK-based scale-up, with a track record of taking a business from early stage through to 50m+ in revenue. Direct experience reporting to and managing the relationship with a sole shareholder, founder-investor, or institutional investor in a growth-stage business environment. Demonstrable M&A experience, including hands-on involvement in deal origination, financial due diligence, valuation, deal structuring and negotiation across either buy-side or sell-side transactions. Track record of building and maintaining 12-week rolling cash forecasts with high accuracy and clear variance discipline. Commercial finance background with demonstrable experience influencing deal structures, partnership margins, and commercial decision-making. Hands-on operator who has personally owned the monthly close process and management accounts, not solely managed a team to deliver them. Experience of Board-level reporting, including presenting to non-executive directors, investors, or an advisory board. Strong Excel and financial modelling skills; experience with cloud-based accounting systems (Xero, NetSuite, or similar). Highly Desirable Experience working across the full startup-to-scale-up journey - ideally having joined a business at an early stage and scaled it through significant growth. Exposure to commercial partnership models, SaaS, professional services, or similarly margin-sensitive business structures. Experience operating within a membership or subscription business model, with a strong commercial grasp of recurring revenue dynamics - MRR/ARR, retention and churn, lifetime value, and the unit economics of acquisition and renewal. Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) - though we will consider exceptional candidates who are by experience. Experience of post-merger integration, sell-side readiness, or preparation for exit (vendor due diligence, data room build-out, equity story development). ON OFFER A rare opportunity to join the leadership team of a commercially ambitious, high-growth business at a pivotal moment. Direct reporting line to the CEO with a seat at the table for every key strategic decision. A genuine opportunity to shape the financial function from the ground up and build a team around you. Competitive salary commensurate with experience, supported by a meaningful growth equity package providing direct alignment with the long-term value being built. Hybrid working model - minimum 3 days per week in London, with flexibility around personal commitments. A culture that values pace, commercial thinking, and straight-talking collaboration.
