If you're an experienced Business Services Senior or Assistant Manager looking for more than just another practice role, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Our client is a well-established independent accountancy and advisory firm with an outstanding reputation for putting people and client relationships first.

This isn't a firm where you'll simply manage compliance work and sit behind a screen.

They're looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, understands what excellent client service looks like and wants to become a trusted adviser to growing businesses.

You'll work with an exciting and varied client base, attend networking events across Manchester, and play an active role in helping grow the firm's presence alongside an established Business Development team and strong links with the local business community.

Most importantly, this is a business that genuinely invests in its people.

Working within the Business Services team, you'll support a varied portfolio of owner-managed businesses, providing high-quality accounting and advisory services while building strong, long-term client relationships.

Responsibilities will include:

\n
• Preparing statutory accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
\n
• Preparing corporation tax computations
\n
• Producing management accounts, VAT returns and bookkeeping assignments
\n
• Supporting clients with day-to-day accounting queries
\n
• Working closely with Managers and Partners on client relationships
\n
• Identifying opportunities to add value for clients
\n
• Representing the firm at networking and business development events
\n
• Supporting the continued growth of the Manchester office
\n

We're looking for someone with personality, commercial awareness and a genuine passion for working with clients.

You'll ideally have:

\n
• ACA or ACCA qualification (or be Qualified by Experience)
\n
• Previous experience within an accountancy practice
\n
• Experience preparing accounts for a range of business clients
\n
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
\n
• A proactive, commercially minded approach
\n
• Confidence meeting clients and attending networking events
\n
• A genuine ambition to develop your career
\n

Applications are welcomed from experienced Business Services Seniors ready for the next step, as well as existing Assistant Managers.

Alongside a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package, you'll enjoy:

\n
• Hybrid working (3 days office / 2 days home)
\n
• Flexible working hours
\n
• Clear progression opportunities all the way to Director level
\n
• Brand-new Manchester city centre offices
\n
• Supportive leadership team with an open-door culture
\n
• Ongoing professional development and funded CPD
\n
• Paid professional memberships
\n
• Enhanced pension scheme with life assurance
\n
• Annual leave purchase scheme
\n
• Health cash plan
\n
• Employee Assistance Programme
\n
• Employee referral bonuses
\n
• Financial rewards for introducing new clients or winning new business
\n
• A collaborative, friendly culture where relationships matter
\n

From day one you'll experience the firm's unique culture, including an induction at Head Office where you'll spend time meeting senior leaders, giving you a real insight into the business and its ambitious plans for the future.

Our client is an ambitious independent accountancy and advisory firm with multiple offices across the UK and exciting plans for continued growth.

Despite their size, they've retained the culture of an independent practice, placing exceptional client service, long-term relationships and people development at the heart of everything they do.

If you're looking for a firm where your personality is valued just as much as your technical ability, where progression is genuinely achievable, and where you can play a key role in the growth of a thriving Manchester office, we'd love to hear from you.
