We are hiring into a key job role for a leading accountancy firm, offering a rare opportunity to join in a Manager position, with genuine support to help you develop to a future Partner or Director role if you want within a mixed Accounts and Audit job. This position is made more rare, considering the changes in this market over recent years, with many independent firms being consolidated into national brands, but this firm want to maintain their independence and can therefore offer the tangible opportunity to be a future Equity Partner / Director.

The audit element is circa 20% to 25%, with the rest of the work client management, general practice work, accounts, tax, advisory, client and staff management etc. OVERVIEW Available at Manager grade, the firm can also consider people ranging from Assistant Manager to Senior Manager in a role which involves accountancy, audit and varied general practice work as detailed below. The precise level of responsibility and salary will be dictated by your experience and qualification level and the role can also be tweaked to suit. You will work closely with other Managers in the firm, but have your own career route, personalised to your skills and ambitions. In terms of salary, they will be looking to pay competitively and reward the successful person with ongoing progression, real work-life balance and potential equity in the medium term. They offer flexible working, but the role is mostly office based.
