This role would suit a highly credible accountancy professional with proven leadership experience in practice.

You will ideally have:

• ACA / ACCA (or equivalent) qualification with a Practicing certificate

• Significant experience at a manager level within an accountancy practice but equally happy to be hands-on in producing accounts.

• Excellent client-facing and relationship management skills

• A strategic mindset combined with practical decision-making

In return, our client will offer a strong salary package that could include equity or profit-share.
