About this role
A specialist role within an established independent accountancy practice, working with a portfolio of charities and not-for-profit organisations across their day-to-day finance needs.

You will become a key contact for your clients, giving you the opportunity to build strong relationships and really understand how each organisation operates. With a good level of autonomy and a varied workload, this would suit an experienced accountant who enjoys client-facing work and wants to use their technical skills in a more advisory setting.
