- Managing a portfolio of SME clients and being their day-to-day contact
- Preparing and reviewing year-end accounts and management accounts

- ACCA qualified (or equivalent)
- 2–3+ years’ UK accountancy practice experience (essential)
- Strong experience producing accounts for UK-based clients (SMEs)

Technical skills (essential/strongly preferred):
