About the Firm
Our client is a modern, partner-led accounting and advisory practice working with a wide mix of SMEs, private companies, and high-net-worth individuals. With a highly regarded London office and a reputation for technical excellence, they combine traditional practice expertise with proactive, commercially minded client support.
Now, they are building their Edinburgh office into a flagship hub—and are looking for someone who wants to be at the centre of that growth.
Why This Role Is Unique
This is not a standard practice role. It’s an opportunity for a qualified accountant who wants:
*
Autonomy – genuine influence over how the Edinburgh team grows.
*
Impact – build and shape an office from a small, highly capable team into a thriving practice.
*
Equity & long-term progression – a clear route to becoming a key senior figure in the firm.
*
Variety – ownership of client relationships, complex accounts, and strategic advisory work.
*
Collaboration – cross-office support from an established London team as the Edinburgh hub scales.
It’s ideal for someone coming from a small or mid-sized practice background—or someone in a large firm who is ready to escape the bureaucracy and make their mark.
Role Overview
As Senior Accountant / Client Advisory Lead, you will take ownership of a client portfolio while helping to grow the Edinburgh office. You will handle full accounts preparation, deliver proactive client advice, and serve as a trusted partner for business owners and senior stakeholders.
This role suits someone who enjoys both technical delivery and developing long-term client relationships. You’ll work closely with the Partner and collaborate with the London team while acting as a key figure in expanding the Edinburgh presence.

Prepare and review full statutory accounts for a diverse portfolio of clients.

Provide clear, practical advice across accounting, tax, and general business matters.

*
Build and maintain strong client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor.
*
Support client onboarding and contribute to business development initiatives.
*
Ensure compliance with accounting standards and regulatory requirements.
*
Mentor and support junior team members as the office grows.
*
Play an active role in shaping and expanding the Edinburgh practice.
Candidate Profile
You will thrive in this role if you are motivated by responsibility, growth, and genuine autonomy.
Essential:
*
Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent).
*
Strong practice background with experience preparing full statutory accounts.
*
Experience managing a client portfolio and delivering client-facing advisory work.

Strong commercial awareness and the ability to identify client needs and opportunities.
*
Confident communicator who can explain complex financial information clearly.
*
Someone who enjoys working closely with partners and contributing to practice direction.
*
A hands-on, proactive, and growth-minded professional.
