Description:
Senior Manager | Milton Keynes (Hybrid) | £70,000 – £90,000 | Permanent, Full-Time
A leadership role in a growing practice, for a commercially minded advisor who wants to genuinely shape a firm's future — and progress towards Director.
We're partnering with an ambitious, fast-growing accountancy practice in the Milton Keynes area to appoint a Senior Manager into its leadership team. This is a pivotal, high-impact role for someone ready to lead client relationships, develop people, and drive commercial performance at an exciting stage in the firm's growth.
You'll bring far more than technical strength. You'll own the commercial success of your portfolio — balancing exceptional client service with WIP, recoverability, billing and fee budgets — while mentoring managers and senior staff, contributing to strategy, and identifying advisory opportunities that create lasting value. If you think commercially, embrace technology and innovation, and want your ideas to count, you'll thrive here.
What you'll bring:
- Strong leadership experience — leading, developing and mentoring managers and senior staff
- A proven track record of spotting advisory opportunities and growing recurring fee income
- 8–10 years' relevant UK practice experience across corporate and personal tax
- ACA or ACCA qualified
- Experience running a significant portfolio as primary advisor, including WIP, recoverability, billing, debtors and fee budgets
- A record of winning new business, cross-selling and building long-term relationships
- Confident communication, including handling challenging conversations
- Experience contributing to strategic planning and firm-wide initiatives
Who you are:
Entrepreneurial and commercially driven, you enjoy taking ownership and are motivated by helping a business grow. You're a trusted advisor who builds long-term relationships with business owners, you lead by example, and you're genuinely interested in how AI and emerging technology can improve the client experience. You're resilient, solutions-focused and ready for the step towards Director.
What's on offer:
£70,000 – £90,000 depending on experience, plus a strong package: flexitime and hybrid working, annual bonus, a generous holiday allowance, enhanced pension, private healthcare, paid professional subscriptions, and a clear route to Director in a rapidly growing firm.
