Are you an experienced accountant with a passion for helping businesses grow and thrive? Do you want to work in a modern, commercially driven environment where your insights matter and your ambition is rewarded?
An innovative and growing accountancy practice based in Sussex is looking for a proactive and commercially minded accountant to join their dynamic team. This is a rare opportunity to work closely with entrepreneurial clients, make a real impact, and enjoy a fantastic work-life balance with a 4 day working week.
About the role:
You’ll take ownership of a varied portfolio of limited company clients, with responsibilities including:
- Year-end accounts preparation
- Corporation tax compliance and submissions
- VAT returns and bookkeeping
- Management accounts and business performance reporting
- Reviewing work prepared by an offshore accountant to ensure accuracy and quality
- Supporting business advisory projects to help clients grow and succeed
This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll be encouraged to get under the skin of your clients’ businesses, spot opportunities for improvement, and add real value.

- Wants to bridge the gap between practice and industry, enjoying the variety of a portfolio but with deeper insight into clients’ businesses
- Has a strong grasp of management accounts and performance analysis
- Is confident reviewing others’ work and ensuring high standards
- Enjoys working directly with business owners and making a difference
