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. The firm has built a smart structure with offshore support handling much of the prep, which frees you up to focus on review, advice and building relationships with business owners.
What you'll be doing:
- Owning a portfolio of limited company clients from year-end accounts through to filing
- Reviewing corporation tax and personal tax returns, spotting and correcting issues
- Handling client tax queries and giving clear, practical advice in meetings
- Preparing management accounts and talking clients through their numbers
- Getting stuck into business advisory work that genuinely helps clients grow
- Reviewing work prepared by the offshore team to keep standards high
About you:
- ACA, ACCA, CIMA or AAT qualified (or finalist), trained in UK practice
- Solid grounding in corporate and personal tax, confident reviewing returns and advising clients directly
- Good working knowledge of VAT
- Strong on management accounts and making sense of performance
- Commercially switched-on, the sort who spots ways to help a client
- Looking for a firm to grow with for the long term
What's on offer:
- Four day working week (Tuesday to Friday, 8am to 6pm)
- Competitive salary, depending on experience
- A genuine route to equity as the firm grows
- Advisory-led work with real client contact
- Full support for professional development
- On-site parking
