Accounts Senior

Position: Accounts Senior (Permanent)
Accounts Senior – Forward-Thinking Boutique Firm | 4-Day Week | Greater Manchester

Are you an experienced practice accountant seeking a more modern and commercially minded environment? Do you enjoy working closely with entrepreneurial clients and want to add real value to growing businesses?

A progressive and boutique accountancy firm in Greater Manchester is looking to welcome an ambitious Accounts Senior to their collaborative and forward-thinking team. With a 4-day working week and a strong advisory focus, this is a standout opportunity to take your career to the next level.

The Role:

You’ll manage a diverse portfolio of limited company clients, taking ownership of:

* Year-end accounts preparation

* Corporation tax compliance

* VAT returns and bookkeeping

* Monthly management accounts and performance reporting

* Reviewing work prepared by offshore accountants

* Supporting on business advisory projects to help clients grow

This is a hands-on, client-facing role where you’ll be encouraged to build strong relationships, understand clients’ businesses, and deliver commercial insight—not just compliance.

Why This Role Stands Out:

* High level of client contact with involvement in strategic advisory work

* Supportive structure with offshore delivery enabling focus on review and value-add work

* 4-day working week (Tuesday to Friday, 8am to 6pm) for true work-life balance

* Genuine progression opportunities, including future equity potential

* Friendly, collaborative team with on-site parking and a modern working environment

About You:

* Enjoy working with SME business owners and building strong client relationships

* Have solid experience in accounts prep, tax, and management reporting

* Are confident reviewing work and maintaining high standards

* Have a commercial mindset and enjoy spotting opportunities to support clients

* Want to grow with a dynamic firm and take on increasing responsibility over time

* On-site parking

* Support for ongoing development and qualifications

* Long-term career progression with genuine prospects
