Audit & Accounts Manager - Small firm ACA

Are you a small firm ACA qualified Audit & Accounts Manager (or a Supervisor / Assistant Manager looking to step up to Manager grade) looking to continue your career in a good quality and friendly mid tier practice based in a prime location in Central London? Are you looking to upgrade to a larger firm where most of the staff come from small practice firms? Are you looking to receive excellent training and support so that you can step up and work for a larger practice, work on larger, technically more challenging clients as well as manage larger teams, but still work in a friendly environment with a good work life balance? Are you still keen to work in a mixed, general practice role? Based in the audit and accounts department, your role will be up to 60% audit based, with the rest of your time spent on accounts, tax and general practice assignments. This unique firm has a laid back and easy going culture and would suit someone looking for a good work life balance. You will be responsible for managing your own portfolio of clients; managing audits from planning to completion, managing small teams, reviewing work, giving staff appraisals and reporting directly to partners. You will also carry out a number of interesting ad hoc advisory based projects as well as new business development. Your clients will be varied and include industries such as media, property, entertainment, technology, charities and professional services. There will also be genuine opportunities for you to progress to Senior Manager level in the future due to the office needing some more managerial leadership.

To be considered for this new role you must be a qualified ACA with post qualification experience, currently working in a good quality practice firm either as a Manager or as a Supervisor / Assistant Manager and be looking to step up to Manager grade. It would be beneficial if you have experience managing your own portfolio of clients as well as experience of a wide range of software packages. This firm has also had great success with candidates who have lived outside of London and relocated to London and wanted to work in a good quality, friendly mid tier firm. You must have experience of leading audits from planning to completion as well as accounts preparation assignments. Experience of a wide range of clients would be an advantage as would enthusiasm to progress in a short space of time.

This friendly practice with a client base to rival a much larger firm, will offer you a challenging and varied role, interesting and high profile clients to work on (up to £100m turnovers) and genuine work life balance. You will also have the opportunity to progress to a higher level in the future. This represents an excellent opportunity for a qualified ACA with strong academics to work in a rapidly growing London based practice, develop your audit, accounts, advisory and managerial skills and receive top rate training and support in a friendly and profitable firm.
