Accounts Assistant Manager

Are you an ACA or ACCA qualified accountant looking for the next step in your career?

I’m working exclusively with a fantastic, forward-thinking accountancy practice in North Norfolk that’s looking to bring an experienced Accounts & Tax Assistant Manager into the team. This is a great opportunity for someone who’s ready to take more ownership of their clients, get involved in team development and progress their career within a supportive and ambitious practice within a position that you can really make your own.

Having worked with the firm for a number of years, I’ve got to know the team really well, and everyone I speak to has nothing but positive things to say about the culture and working environment. It’s a close-knit team, which means you’ll have the opportunity to work closely with experienced Partners and genuinely shape your career in the direction you want to take it.

You’ll manage a varied portfolio of clients, from individuals and owner-managed businesses through to larger corporate clients, delivering a high-quality accounts and tax service while continuing to develop your technical and client-facing skills.

You’ll have a broad and varied role, including:

\n
• Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts for a varied portfolio of clients
\n
• Building strong day-to-day client relationships and handling client queries
\n
• Assisting Partners with client meetings, including preparation and follow-up
\n
• Preparing and reviewing VAT returns
\n
• Preparing and reviewing both corporation tax and personal tax returns
\n
• Taking responsibility for WIP management, billing, fees and invoicing
\n
• Reviewing work prepared by more junior members of the team
\n
• Supporting, mentoring and developing junior colleagues, including delegating work and assisting with more complex queries
\n
• Supporting new client meetings and helping with the onboarding of new clients
\n
• Getting involved in business development, networking and marketing initiatives
\n
• Working alongside Partners on client planning and wider advisory work
\n

What the client is looking for:

\n
• ACA or ACCA qualified, with ideally one year's post-qualification experience within an accountancy practice.
\n
• You might already be managing your own portfolio and be ready for a step up, or you could be an experienced Senior looking for the opportunity to take that next step into a management role.
\n

What's on offer?

\n
• Competitive salary and benefits package
\n
• Hybrid working, with a split between home and office available
\n
• A genuine opportunity to progress your career
\n
• A varied portfolio of interesting clients
\n
• The chance to take on more responsibility and develop your management skills
\n
• A supportive team environment where you'll have plenty of exposure to Partners, clients & networking events.
\n

If you're looking for a role where you can step up, take ownership of your own portfolio and continue developing your career in practice, this could be a really good opportunity to explore. Please contact Annie for more information.
