Permanent Apply for this job now Job Description Account Manager (Accounts Production) Norwich (Hybrid) £30,000 to £38,000 FTE If you trained in practice, still love getting the books right, and want to work somewhere that actually stands for something this one is worth reading. About the firm This is a hugely successful accountancy practice based in Norwich, serving around 600 clients across the UK. Their client base reads differently to most - owner-managed SMEs, entrepreneurs, charities, CICs, and mission-driven organisations who care about more than just the numbers. The service offer goes beyond core compliance into R D tax, carbon accounting, ESG reporting, and fractional CFO work. They are also genuinely forward-thinking about how they work. AI tooling is embedded into day-to-day practice. An offshore delivery partnership handles bookkeeping and accounts production for part of the portfolio. And the leadership has serious professional depth. The role This is a hands-on practice role. Bookkeeping and VAT sit at the heart of it - not as a stepping stone to something else, but as the foundation everything else is built on. In practice, that means three things: bookkeeping you do yourself for clients where complexity calls for it; bookkeeping done with AI tools that you review, correct, and stand behind; and bookkeeping done by the offshore team that you supervise, quality-check, and own the outcome of. The standard is the same whichever route it takes. Beyond bookkeeping, the role covers: VAT compliance under
