Full job descriptionAccountant / 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
