Senior Practice Manager – Sheffield
£55,000 - £66,000 + bonus + share scheme.
There's a point in most careers where you stop wanting to just manage a portfolio and start wanting real ownership. A growing, well‑backed firm within the accountancy space is investing heavily in its regional presence and needs someone to take full control of a key site in Sheffield and shape how it performs over the next few years.
This isn't about maintaining the status quo; it's about building something better, leading from the front, and having a genuine say in how the practice evolves.
What you'll be doing
- Leading day‑to‑day site performance across client delivery, operations, and compliance.
- Managing and developing a team, setting clear expectations and driving standards.
- Owning key client relationships and acting as a senior point of contact.
- Reviewing accounts, management reporting, and statutory work across a varied client base.
- Overseeing bookkeeping, VAT, and payroll processes to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
- Driving improvements in internal processes, systems, and workflows.
- Handling escalations and ensuring issues are resolved properly, not just patched up.
- Working alongside senior leadership to align site performance with wider business goals.
What we're looking for
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified with solid post‑qualified experience in accountancy.
- Background in UK practice with strong technical grounding in compliance and reporting.
- Proven leadership experience, managing teams and developing individuals.
- Comfortable dealing directly with clients and building long‑term relationships.
- Strong grasp of systems such as Xero, Sage or QuickBooks.
- Someone who can balance detail with big‑picture thinking.
- A natural organiser who can juggle priorities without dropping standards.
What's on offer
- Salary circa £60,000 depending on experience.
- Annual performance‑related bonus.
- Company share scheme.
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays.
- A genuine leadership position with autonomy and influence.
- Clear progression as the business continues to expand.
- The chance to shape how a Sheffield‑based team grows and performs.
This Senior Practice Manager role suits someone who's ready to step beyond managing workload and into leading a business unit properly. If you're already operating at that level, or close to it, this gives you the platform to prove it.
