Senior Practice Accountant

The Role:

This is not a traditional senior accountant position. This is a hands -on leadership role supporting the Directors in all aspects of running a busy and growing practice. You will be involved in:

• Supporting and mentoring the team

• Managing workflow and deadlines across accounts, bookkeeping and tax

• Reviewing and preparing statutory accounts

• Overseeing bookkeeping and VAT returns

• Supporting corporation tax and basic personal tax matters

• Attending and leading client meetings

• Handling client queries and advisory conversations

• Supporting new business enquiries and proposals

• Contributing to strategy and growth initiatives

• Stepping in operationally when required

You must be comfortable balancing leadership responsibilities with hands -on delivery. Some days will involve review and oversight. Others will require you to roll your sleeves up and support directly.

This is a leadership role that requires a consistent on -site presence within the Bristol office. Whilst occasional flexibility can be agreed when required, the expectation is that the role is primarily office based.

What We Are Looking For:

We are looking for a commercially aware, proactive and confident individual who wants to play a genuine leadership role within a successful office. You must:

• Be ACA or ACCA qualified

• Have a minimum of 5 years’ recent experience within UK accountancy practice

• Be confident reviewing and preparing statutory accounts

• Be comfortable overseeing bookkeeping and VAT returns

• Be able to support corporation tax and basic personal tax matters

 • Have experience supervising and developing a team

• Be commercially aware, with a solid understanding of WIP, billing and practice profitability

• Be confident in client -facing situations

 This role will suit someone who wants to be fully involved in running a practice and is comfortable balancing leadership with hands -on delivery. It requires maturity, initiative and accountability.

Progression: For the right individual, there is clear progression potential. This role can develop into:

• Practice Manager

• Senior leadership within the Bristol office

• Wider opportunities within the Streets group We are seeking someone who sees themselves progressing into full Practice Management in the medium term and who is motivated by responsibility and long -term growth.
