Are you an Accountant ready for more than just compliance work?

This is an opportunity to join a well-established and growing business advisory practice where you’ll work alongside experienced Accountants, build strong client relationships, develop your advisory skills and be exposed to some genuinely exciting new technology.

Our client is a respected chartered accounting and business advisory practice with a strong history of growth. They work with clients across a broad range of industries, providing accounting, business advisory, financial planning and tax compliance services.

They are now looking for an Intermediate Accountant who is degree qualified and either working towards their CA qualification or has recently completed it.

Why this role?

This is about more than simply moving to another accounting firm. It’s about accelerating your career.

You’ll receive strong technical and professional support, work directly with a range of clients and, as your experience develops, take on increasing responsibility for client relationships and advisory work.

Importantly, our client is committed to your professional development. They will:

  • Fully support and pay for your ongoing CA studies
  • Take over the financial commitment if you are currently bonded
  • Give you genuine opportunities to develop and support your business advisory and client management skills
  • Support your progression as your capabilities and confidence grow

A strong focus on AI and technology

One of the really exciting aspects of this opportunity is the firm's commitment to using AI to transform the way accounting and advisory services are delivered. AI is being used to automate compilation and review processes, improve efficiency and, importantly, extract meaningful insights from client data.

If you're interested in how AI and emerging technology will shape the future of accounting, there's significant scope here to develop skills that will set you apart from your peers.

About you

You may be looking for this opportunity because you're currently in a firm where you're not receiving the level of training or support you need. Or perhaps you've recently completed your qualifications and there isn't a clear pathway to the next stage of your career.

Either way, we're interested in people who are ambitious, proactive and genuinely want to build a career in business advisory.

You'll ideally bring:

  • A relevant accounting degree
  • Progress towards, or recent completion of, your CA qualification
  • A strong interest in using technology and AI to improve the way accounting services are delivered
  • An interest in developing client advisory capabilities
  • A proactive approach to your own professional development
