• Play a key role in training and developing junior staff, including performance reviews and mentoring
• Contribute to internal process improvement and client service innovation

About You

• ACA or ACCA qualified, with significant post-qualification audit experience
• Strong background working in UK accountancy practice with exposure to SMEs
• Experience with agricultural clients or rural businesses is highly beneficial
• Comfortable managing teams, reviewing technical work, and working closely with clients
• Clear communicator with excellent organisational and leadership skills
• A track record of career stability—preference given to candidates with long tenure in previous roles

What’s on Offer

• Full-time, permanent role
• Flexible hybrid working with a base in Royston
• Ongoing CPD and leadership development opportunities
• Study support for ACA/ACCA if applicable (Level 7, with 4-fail policy and continued support where effort is evident)
