Public Practice Accountancy

We specialise in public practice accountancy, working across audit, accounts and tax.

That covers everything from trainee and part-qualified roles through to senior and leadership hires, depending on the firm and team structure.

We work with a range of practices — from smaller independents through to larger regional firms — across Sussex, Hampshire, London and the wider UK. Because of that, we see how different teams are set up, where the gaps are, and what firms are actually looking for.

Typical roles we support with include accounts, audit and tax positions at all levels, as well as bookkeeping and support roles where needed.

Whether you’re hiring or open to hearing what’s out there, the focus is always the same — understanding what’s needed and making sure it’s the right long-term fit.

Audit Senior / Assistant Manager

Brighton

East Sussex

This is an opportunity for someone with around two years' audit experience who's ready to take on more responsibility, develop their client exposure and continue progressing towards Assistant Manager level. You'll work with a varied portfolio including limited companies, LLPs and charities, getting involved throughout the audit process while continuing your ACA or ACCA studies.

Freelance Tax Consultant

WFH

Remote

I'm looking for an experienced Tax Consultant to support a range of complex UK tax advisory projects on a freelance basis. This isn't a compliance-heavy position. You'll be brought in for your technical knowledge — researching complex tax issues, identifying planning opportunities and turning legislation into clear, practical advice that clients can actually understand and use. You'll work remotely, manage your own assignments and have support from the wider team around administration and client relationships

Senior Manager (Outsourcing)

Guildford

Surrey

The best Finance Directors don't just report on performance. They help shape it. This is an opportunity to become a strategic adviser to ambitious SMEs, working alongside business owners and leadership teams to influence key decisions, improve financial performance and support long-term growth. If you enjoy commercial conversations as much as financial reporting, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Tax Manager

Worthing

West Sussex

We’re working with a well-established two-partner accountancy practice looking to appoint an experienced and technically strong Tax Manager. This is a key role within the firm, offering significant autonomy, client exposure, and the opportunity to oversee a substantial personal tax portfolio supported by an experienced assistant. The position combines portfolio leadership, trust expertise, advisory work, and team supervision — ideal for someone who enjoys ownership within a close-knit practice environment.

Accountant

Bexhill

East Sussex

This is an opportunity to join a well-established accountancy practice in Bexhill, taking responsibility for a varied portfolio of small and medium-sized businesses while working closely with clients on their day-to-day accounting needs. The role can be worked full-time or across four days per week, making it particularly attractive to an experienced practice accountant looking for greater flexibility without stepping away from a varied, client-facing position.
