Senior Accounts Manager to Partner

Senior Accounts Manager to Partner

Hybrid - North West London

£60,000 to £65,000

There are plenty of senior practice roles that promise progression. Very few genuinely put you side by side with a Partner and trust you to help shape the direction of the firm. This one does, without the glossy nonsense.

This opportunity sits within a well-established, growing business operating in the professional services space, supporting a broad portfolio of owner-managed businesses, investors and private clients. The role offers real influence, long-term progression and a clear pathway towards partnership for the right person.

You will be joining a stable, forward-thinking practice with modern systems, sensible processes and a pragmatic approach to client work. The role is offered on a hybrid basis, typically three days in the office and two from home, based in North West London.

The role

Working closely with the Managing Partner, this position blends senior technical delivery with leadership and commercial oversight. As Senior Accounts Manager to Partner, you will act as a trusted right hand, ensuring clients are well looked after and the practice runs smoothly day to day.

This is not a back-office technical role. You will be visible, involved and relied upon to make decisions, manage people and spot opportunities to improve how things are done.

What you'll be doing

Overseeing a varied client portfolio across accounts, tax and compliance
Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts, management accounts and tax returns
Acting as a primary contact for key clients, maintaining strong long-term relationships
Managing and mentoring junior and mid-level staff, keeping workflows on track
Supporting payroll, VAT and CIS processes where required
Reviewing client profitability and advising on commercial decisions
Working with the Partner on process improvements and practice growth initiatives

What we're looking for

ACCA qualified or equivalent, with solid post-qualification experience
Background within an accountancy practice environment
Strong working knowledge of UK accounting and tax requirements
Confident communicator who is comfortable in client-facing situations
Someone commercially aware who enjoys improving systems and ways of working
An interest in progression towards senior leadership or partnership

What's on offer

Salary in the region of £60,000 to £65,000 depending on experience
Hybrid working arrangement, based in North West London
Direct exposure to firm leadership and strategic decision-making
A clear development route beyond a standard senior accountant role
Supportive culture within a growing professional services firm

For an experienced accountant who wants more influence, visibility and a genuine route forward, Senior Accounts Manager to Partner offers something many roles claim but rarely deliver.
