General Practice Partner, Accountancy East Sussex Competitive package + clear pathway to equity We re working with a modern, ambitious accountancy and advisory firm looking to appoint a General Practice Partner in East Sussex. This is a genuine leadership opportunity with immediate portfolio ownership, real influence, and a clear route toward future equity participation. The incoming Partner will step into a substantial existing client base and help shape the next phase of growth alongside an established senior partner. This role will appeal to an experienced general practice professional who may already be operating at Partner level, but it could equally suit a high-performing Director, Associate or Senior Manager who is doing the job already and not getting the progression, trust or long-term opportunity they have earned. The brief specifically calls for someone with significant general practice experience, likely including time at a senior level, strong client relationship skills, and the credibility to grow a regional presence. Why this role stands out: • Genuine partnership-level influence from day one • A substantial portfolio to inherit, with allocated recurring fees expected to be around £1m. • Clear progression toward future equity • The chance to help lead an established East Sussex office alongside one other senior partner • Access to wider specialist services including tax advisory, corporate finance, financial planning and outsourced finance support • A real opportunity to deepen client relationships and unlock advisory work across an already strong client base • A modern firm investing in workflow, automation and AI-assisted practice operations • A business that already operates with significant offshore capability embedded into the delivery model, offering scale and broader support The opportunity: This is not a parked portfolio role. It is a chance to take ownership, build profile, strengthen client relationships, develop the team and play a visible part in growing a regional practice. The office has an established reputation across East Sussex and the wider South East, and there is real headroom to broaden client relationships and increase the value of the service offering. What you ll be doing: • Taking ownership of a significant general practice portfolio from day one • Acting as a trusted adviser to owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurial clients and private individuals • Overseeing accounts, corporation tax, personal tax and wider advisory matters across the portfolio • Identifying opportunities around tax planning, remuneration structuring, succession planning, cash extraction and broader strategic advice • Connecting clients with in-house specialists across corporate finance, wealth, tax and outsourced finance • Helping to grow the office through business development, referrals, profile-building and relationship-led new business activity • Providing technical leadership across financial reporting, UK GAAP and broader owner-managed business matters • Coaching and developing team members across the office • Supporting the continued integration and development of an offshore team that is central to service delivery • Contributing to process improvement, technology adoption and more modern ways of working across the practice Who this could suit This could be ideal for you if you are: • A Director, Associate or Senior Manager in general practice who feels ready for a bigger platform • Frustrated by slow progression or a lack of clarity around your route to Partner • Already leading clients, developing business and operating as a senior figure, but without the title, autonomy or reward to match • An established Partner looking for a more commercial, growth-focused and modern environment • ACA, ACCA or equivalent qualified with strong all-round general practice experience • Technically strong, commercially minded and credible with owner-managed businesses • Well networked in East Sussex, Kent or the wider South East, or confident you can build that presence quickly What they re looking for: • Significant post-qualified experience in general practice • A strong background in managing and growing a broad client portfolio • Technical strength across accounting, financial reporting and tax matters affecting owner-managed businesses • Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to win trust quickly • Commercial instinct and an eye for advisory opportunities • A genuine interest in leading and developing people • Openness to modern delivery models, including offshore collaboration, workflow automation and AI-enabled improvements • Willingness to travel to northern India at least annually as part of the wider leadership remit If you are already doing the hard part of a Partner role but are still waiting for the recognition, influence or long-term opportunity to catch up, this could be the point where things change. Please contact Lydia at ProTalent for a confidential chat.
