• A role that can grow with you

What's on offer for the Accounts Manager?

• Salary up to £45,000 depending on experience
• Flexible working: 3–5 days per week (37.5 hours FTE)
• 1 day working from home
• 1 shorter working day each week

The Fit
This role would suit someone who enjoys variety, values autonomy, and wants to be part of a smaller firm where their contribution truly matters. It’s ideal for someone ready to step up, or equally someone looking to move away from a larger practice into a more personal, impactful environment.
