Job Description:
Are you doing the job of a leader without the title to match?
If you’re the person everyone turns to - the one who reviews the work, manages the team, and holds the client relationships together - but your seniority still doesn’t reflect that reality, this role is worth your attention.
THE ROLE
This is a senior leadership position within an established independent accountancy practice in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
The firm has a loyal client base and a committed team. What it needs now is someone to take genuine operational ownership - not as a deputy, but as the person responsible for the day-to-day running of the practice.
Working directly with the owner, you will lead the team, oversee the quality of client work, drive improvements in process and structure, and play a central role in the firm’s growth and succession planning.
There is a clear and realistic pathway to Directorship within 3–5 years, with genuine long-term ownership potential.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
*Lead, develop and manage the team, setting clear performance expectations
*Oversee accounts, review and advisory work to a consistently high standard
*Take ownership of workflow, deadlines and quality control across the practice
*Address performance and people issues proactively and constructively
*Improve operational processes, structure and discipline firm-wide
*Partner with the owner on strategy, business development and succession planning
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
*ACA or ACCA qualified
*Strong post-qualification experience gained within practice (not industry)
*Proven track record of leading and managing teams - beyond junior oversight
*Confident handling change, difficult conversations and high standards
*Trusted by clients and credible with colleagues
*Motivated by progression, accountability and long-term impact
WHAT’S ON OFFER
*Salary: £60,000 – £70,000+ depending on experience
*Clear and genuine route to Directorship within 3–5 years
*Long-term ownership potential for the right candidate
*Immediate authority and influence over culture, operations and client experience
*A practice with strong foundations, ready for the right leader
Please note: this is an office-based role in Salisbury. Remote candidates are unlikely to be a fit.
If you are a senior practice accountant ready to lead properly and be recognised for it, apply now or contact us for a confidential conversation.
