Accounts Manager – Independent Accountancy Practice – Croydon

£55,000 - £65,000 (depending on experience)

Are you an experienced Accounts Manager ready to take that next step in your career? Or perhaps you're already working at Manager level but keen to join a firm where your voice is heard, your ideas are welcomed, and your growth is truly supported?

We’re working with a well-established and steadily growing independent practice based in Croydon, known for its brilliant culture and down-to-earth leadership team. We've placed a number of happy people here already, and the consistent feedback is that it's a fantastic place to work — collaborative, relaxed but professional, and full of opportunities.

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing a portfolio of clients across a range of sectors, building strong relationships and becoming their trusted advisor
  

• Reviewing and overseeing the preparation of statutory accounts, management accounts, VAT returns and corporation tax
  

• Leading and developing a small team of juniors and seniors, offering support, training and guidance
  

• Getting involved in process improvement, workflow planning and supporting the partners in the day-to-day running of the team
  

• Handling more complex queries and being the go-to for clients when they need clear, commercially-minded advice
  

Requirements

What we’re looking for:

• ACA or ACCA qualified with strong post-qualification experience in practice. It is essential that you have been managing a portfolio of ltd companies with turnovers over £1 million as a minimum
  

• A confident manager of both clients and team members
  

• Someone who’s proactive, organised and comfortable juggling a few things at once
  

• A natural relationship builder who enjoys working with owner-managed businesses
  

• Comfortable with cloud-based systems like Xero, QuickBooks and associated apps
  

Benefits

Why this firm?

• Genuinely flexible working and a grown-up approach to work-life balance
  

• A relaxed, friendly office environment where people feel valued
  

• Opportunities to progress towards senior management and even partnership for the right person
  

• Regular socials, a supportive team culture and strong staff retention
  

• The chance to be involved in shaping the future of the firm as it continues to grow
  

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who wants to be more than just a number. You’ll have a real voice here, and the chance to make an impact. If that sounds like you, we’d love to chat.
