Accountant

Sector: Specialist Accounting Practice (IT & Pharma Focus)

The Opportunity

We are exclusively partnering with a leading, fast-paced ACCA-accredited practice to recruit a high-caliber Client Accountant. Due to significant organic growth, the firm is looking for a strategic "Addition to Team" who can bridge the gap between technical accounting and high-level client advisory.

This is not a "back-office" processing role. You will be joining a firm that prides itself on being a proactive business partner to high-earning contractors and business owners in the IT and Pharma sectors.

The Role

As a Client-Facing Accountant, you will manage your own portfolio, acting as the primary financial advisor for professionals moving through various stages of their business lifecycle-from solo contracting to high-volume trading entities.

Key Responsibilities:

Advisory & Meetings: Hosting regular client consultations to discuss financial performance, tax planning, and corporate structure.

Portfolio Management: Managing the end-to-end accounting requirements for a niche group of high-transaction clients.

Tax & Compliance: Overseeing the delivery of statutory accounts, VAT, and Corporation Tax, ensuring all "Trade Level" requirements are met.

Business Growth: Supporting clients as they scale, assisting with the transition from simple structures to complex Personal Limited Companies.

The Person

The ideal person is a confident communicator who enjoys the "human" side of accounting as much as the technical side.

Qualifications: Fully Qualified (ACCA / ACA / CIMA) or Finalist/Nearly-Qualified.

Practice Background: Essential. You must have previous experience working within an accountancy practice environment.

Communication: Exceptional interpersonal skills with the confidence to lead meetings and explain complex financial concepts to non-financial stakeholders.

Energy: A proactive approach to problem-solving and a desire to work in a modern, tech-forward firm.

The Package & Benefits

Our client is known for investing in their people and offers a highly competitive environment:

• Training: Full 6-month intensive training program to integrate you into their specific workflows and sectors.
• Flexibility: A balanced hybrid model (3 days in-office per week).
• Financials: Strong base salary + Performance Bonus + Pension.
• Peace of Mind: Illness Benefit and Paid On-Site Parking.

The Interview Process

The firm is looking to move quickly, with the ability to complete both rounds of interviews within a single week:

Stage 1: Introductory Video Call via MS Teams.

Stage 2: On-site interview at the office to meet the Senior Leadership team (Lindsay and Vanessa).
