Accountant and Business Advisor

Accountant / Business Advisor | Greater Manchester | 4 Day Week | Equity Potential

Most portfolio roles are compliance with a bit of advisory bolted on. This one flips that round. You'll own your clients, get genuinely involved in their businesses, and have a real say in how the firm grows, with equity on the table further down the line.

A modern, commercially minded boutique practice in Greater Manchester is looking for a qualified accountant to take on a varied portfolio of owner-managed and limited company clients.
