Accounts Manager
Accountancy Practice
Cheshire
Permanent ⁄ £27000 - £37000
Updated April 20, 2012
This is a unique opportunity for an Accounts Manager to join a quite unique accountancy practice - in fact they would prefer to call themselves business advisers rather than a practice. Led by two partners, and with a footprint in the local area since 1988, the ethos is around providing a true advisory service (rather than fulfilling a legal obligation) to their clients. They are staffed exclusively with fully-qualified accountants - two chartered and eight certified. Tax planning provides an important part of the offering - with the tax savings as a result typically covering over and above the fee. Another important offering is the training to clients' own in-house accounting teams. The experience gained is not only unique but very fulfilling - you genuinely make a difference to the client's business. The partners' networks in both general practice and corporate finance in the local area position them very well to secure growth for the business moving forwards.
If you would like to work for a very different type of practice where you will be working with a small number of high net worth entrepreneurial clients - not just doing the audit and accounts but genuinely helping to develop their business - then this is an opportunity not to be missed. There are no timesheets, you'll have flexible working arrangements and you will be working with a team that motivate and not compete with each other.
Who we're looking for
The successful candidate will meet the following criteria:
Quantifiable
* Qualified accountant
* Accounts experience at least 50% of current responsibilities
* Strong IT skills - Excel, Sage and Iris
Non-quantifiable
* Trustworthiness is key -you will be given ownership to manage your own diary but this must be reciprocated
Open to new ideas - Julian will 're-train' the individuals for 6 months to get them aligned with CAS's way of servicing their clients
* Switched-on - quick take-up of information both from the firm and clients is essential
* Hands-on approach - the Manager does everything for a handful of clients, and there is no opportunity to delegate
* Strong personality - clients need pushing at times, so someone can't be afraid / uncomfortable doing this; they will also be expected to play a role in networking and business developing to bring new work into the firm
* Willing to take responsibility
* Happy to be challenged - clients and colleagues have high expectations
* Professional arrogance not tolerated!
About our client
Our client, as already highlighted, is unique in their field. They can offer unrivalled job satisfaction and opportunities for personal development.
What's on offer
A very competitive package, with the basic salary in the range £27,000 to £37,000 plus very good benefits.
