Accounts Senior

Accounts Senior | 6 Partner Firm | Stamford

Are you a qualified accountant who has outgrown the rigid structures of a traditional practice and is looking for a role with genuine advisory impact? This is an opportunity to move beyond pure compliance and become a key advisor to high-net-worth individuals, landed estates, and large-scale corporate groups. Join a firm that is currently winning substantial mandates, including 9-figure sales and £100M+ turnover commercial clients, where your technical skill will directly support the strategic growth of ambitious business owners.

About the Firm

This 6 Partner firm is a sophisticated, fast-growing practice that has expanded far beyond its traditional roots in rural and landed estates. Now acting as a premier advisor to wealthy families, PE-backed entities, and large commercial groups in sectors like waste management, leisure, and transport, the firm is currently scaling its team to meet a surge in high-value work. They are committed to providing a modern, open-plan work environment and are in the process of securing new, fit-for-purpose premises in Stamford to accommodate their goal of hiring 50 additional staff over the coming years.

Responsibilities

Lead the preparation of statutory accounts for a diverse portfolio, including large-scale corporate groups with turnovers exceeding £100M.
Act as a "fractional FD" for key clients, providing robust financial reporting and strategic insights that go beyond standard compliance.
Support high-stakes corporate transactions, such as advising on 9-figure sales and managing reporting requirements for US-based Private Equity firms.
Work closely with the tax department to deliver integrated solutions for complex LLP structures and wealthy family trusts.
Manage client relationships directly, serving as the first point of contact for technical accounting queries and business advice.
Oversee and mentor junior team members, ensuring high standards of technical accuracy and efficiency across the accounts team.

Demonstrate exceptional technical accounting skills and the ability to handle complex financial statements.
Possess a commercial mindset, with the ability to identify tax planning opportunities or business efficiencies for clients.

Be a "doer" who thrives in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment and possesses the communication skills to build long-term client relationships.
Be ambitious and looking for a firm that will support your development into a well-rounded business advisor rather than just a technician.
