Client Manager / Senior Accountant - Part-Time (3 Days per Week)

Up to £55,000 FTE
East Berkshire
Permanent | Part-Time 25-30 hours a week


Are you looking for a flexible, part-time role (3 days per week) where your experience is valued, your contributions are recognised, and your professional development is genuinely supported?
An established, people-first accountancy practice in East Berkshire is seeking an experienced and motivated Senior Accountant / Client Manager to join its growing team. This role is ideal for a practice accountant looking for variety, autonomy, and a healthy work-life balance within a supportive and collaborative environment.


The Role


You'll play a key role in delivering a high standard of service to a diverse portfolio of SME clients. This is a broad, hands-on position offering both responsibility and progression, including:

  • Preparation and review of statutory accounts
  • Corporation tax computations and returns
  • Assisting with monthly and quarterly management accounts
  • Managing client queries and providing advice on accounting treatments, tax, and compliance
  • Reviewing work prepared by junior team members and providing support and mentoring
  • Overseeing bookkeeping and working with cloud-based systems such as Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage
  • Collaborating with senior team members on client development and advisory work
  • Keeping up to date with relevant legislation and technical changes
  • This is a varied role rather than a siloed position, with exposure across multiple areas of the practice as your confidence and expertise grow.


    About You


    You'll be a proactive, client-focused accountant with a genuine interest in practice work. Ideally, you will have:

  • At least 5 years' experience in an accountancy practice
  • ACA or ACCA qualification
  • Strong technical knowledge of UK accounting standards, tax, and VAT
  • Experience using cloud accounting platforms
  • Excellent attention to detail and the ability to work independently
  • Confident client-facing and communication skills
  • A collaborative, positive attitude and a willingness to support the wider team
  • The Offer


    You'll be joining a firm that prioritises trust, flexibility, and personal development. Benefits include:

  • Part-time working (3 days per week)
  • Hybrid working available (1-2 days per week from home)
  • 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays (FTE)
  • Regular team socials and events
  • A friendly, close-knit team culture with a strong focus on collaboration and support
  • Whether you're seeking improved work-life balance, greater responsibility, or a more engaging and people-focused environment, this opportunity offers all three.
