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.
