Job Description

NXTGEN is excited to be partnering exclusively with a highly respected and growing business on the outskirts of Ipswich to recruit a Senior Accountant into a role that offers something genuinely different to the traditional practice market. This opportunity gives you the best of both worlds, combining the variety and client exposure of practice with the commercial depth and business involvement typically associated with industry. The work is far more in-depth than a standard practice role, giving you the opportunity to broaden your exposure, develop a stronger commercial understanding, and build skills that could support a future move into industry leadership or even running your own practice. The business has created a genuine family-feel culture, led by a Director who truly puts people first and believes your life outside of work is equally as important as your career. Joining initially as a Senior Accountant, you'll work closely alongside the Director, becoming embedded within the business and gradually progressing into a "right hand person" and Practice Manager-style role as the business continues to grow. This is a fantastic long-term opportunity for someone ambitious and looking for real progression.

  • Supporting with forecasting, budgeting, and financial analysis work
  • Building strong relationships with business owners and key stakeholders
  • Supporting and mentoring junior team members where required
  • Working closely with the Director on operational and business growth initiatives
  • Gradually taking on more responsibility internally as the role evolves into a senior leadership position

Requirements

  • ACA / ACCA qualified or QBE with strong experience within practice
  • Strong technical accounting knowledge with the ability to communicate confidently with clients
  • Someone who enjoys getting to know clients and providing them with a high quality service
  • Commercially minded with an interest in understanding how businesses operate beyond the numbers
  • A proactive individual who enjoys variety and taking ownership of their work
  • Previous experience preparing management accounts and working directly with clients
  • Ambitious and motivated by long-term progression opportunities
  • Strong systems knowledge including Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and Excel

What we offer

  • Genuine family-feel culture
  • People-first Director
  • Long-term progression
  • Commercial exposure
  • Supportive environment
