Poole, United Kingdom The Friendly Accountants Full time

**Managing Director for busy accounting practice**

**About us**:
We’re a 2-director led boutique cloud-based online accounting practice, with a small, close
- knit, friendly team.

Our firm has grown rapidly over the last few years. This has been due to the different strengths of the directors - one director is an ex-FD with exceptional organisational, IT and commercial skills and the other is ex HMRC and a qualified tax specialist with exceptional selling skills.

We continue to take on new business and complemented by the right individual onboard are confident that we can continue to experience significant growth. We have a varied, young, interesting and quality client base who operate in a number of different sectors e.g. cryptocurrency, digital marketing, e-commerce, media, property, technology etc.

Going forward, the directors are looking to extricate themselves from the business within two years. They are currently looking to recruit both a ‘Finance Director’ and a ‘Managing

Director’ to ensure that the skills of the current directors are replicated. These roles together will be responsible for ensuring the future development and direction of this already successful firm of accountants.

In two to three years the current directors would be looking to award a significant shareholding to each of these roles whilst maintaining a shareholding themselves as well as having a strategic input and providing ad-hoc support to ensure the long term success of the business.

**About you**:
Although we’re an online practice, we pride ourselves on our ability to make clients feel at ease with our down to earth approach. Therefore, an upbeat personality and excellent interpersonal skills are an absolute must as far as we are concerned.

Given that we’re cloud based, you do not necessarily have to be based locally to where we are in order to run the business.

You must also be prepared to roll your sleeves up as, whilst the role is interesting and varied

(no two days are alike), Just to be clear, it won’t involve holding many strategy meetings, predominantly there will be nitty gritty tasks to perform

You will now be looking for a move to running your own business and be confident that you can assist with the development and growth of the business, as well as managing a large portfolio. You’ll get to deal with some great clients and handle interesting work.

You’ll need to be able to prioritise work, particularly when it comes to managing strict deadlines and attention to detail is a must have.

It is vital that you are well organised and able to act on your own initiative as and when appropriate. You’ll also need to have an excellent working knowledge of excel, be very IT literate and willing to improve your existing skills (plus learn new ones) with our support

An enthusiastic, can-do approach is an absolute must and you’ll also need a positive outlook and approach to work. It is therefore essential that you are open-minded and willing to embrace our approach which is very different from most accountancy firms.

Salary up to £65,000-£80,000 per annum + growth related bonus.
