The business has ambitious growth plans and is looking for the right person to play a key role in developing long-term relationships with a portfolio of owner-managed business clients.

ACA/ ACCA (or equivalent) would be beneficial, but is not essential. The firm is more focused on commercial ability, client presence and the ability to build trusted relationships.

This role may suit someone from practice who wants to move away from compliance and into a more advisory-led role, or someone from industry who enjoys using financial insight to influence business decisions.
