Management Accountant
Newcastle

We're looking for an experienced Senior Accountant to join my client's growing team. This is a hands-on role with real variety - you'll be working across a broad portfolio of SME clients, leading on management accounts and year-end work, and playing an active part in client relationships.

Alongside the technical work, this role has a genuine business development dimension. We want someone who's comfortable representing the firm externally - whether that's building referral relationships, attending networking events, or playing a key role in bringing new clients on board. If you've always wanted to do more than just the numbers, this is that opportunity.

Key Responsibilities

• Preparation of year-end accounts for limited companies, sole traders, and partnerships

• Preparation and review of management accounts - monthly or quarterly depending on client needs

• Drafting corporation tax computations and supporting with personal tax returns

• Preparing and reviewing VAT returns

• Building and maintaining strong client relationships, acting as a key point of contact

• Providing commercial insight and financial analysis to support client decision-making

• Developing referral relationships and attending networking events to support firm growth

• Playing an active role in new client on-boarding - from initial meetings through to getting them set up

• Supporting junior team members where appropriate​

What We're Looking For

• ACA or ACCA qualified (or close to it - we're open to nearly-there candidates)

• Solid practice background - ideally 4+ years in a UK accountancy firm

• Strong management accounts experience - this is a core part of the role

• Technically confident across accounts preparation, tax, and VAT

• A self-starter who can manage their own workload and deadlines

• Personable and confident communicator - you'll be client-facing from day one

• Comfortable with, or genuinely interested in, the business development side of practice life

• Proficient with cloud accounting software, including Xero, Sage 50 and Sage 200​

What’s on Offer

• Salary of £35,000 – £40,000 depending on experience

• On-site parking

• A genuine seat at the table as the firm continues to grow

• Involvement in business development - with the support and freedom to actually make it happen

• A varied, interesting client base spanning multiple sectors

• A supportive team environment - no politics, no nonsense

Pay: Up to £40,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Company pension

• On-site parking

Ability to commute/relocate:

• Must be able to travel to NE4

Experience:

• Accountancy Practice: 3 years (required)

Work Location: In person
