Director

Leonid Group is excited to search on behalf of one of its fastest growing and dynamic clients, a leading UK professional services firm with offices across the country. They’re seeking an energized and experienced Director (with a fast track to Partner in 6–12 months) to be a leading figure in a recently acquired and integrated practice. The firm is among the top 40 accountancy practices in the UK.

The Role

This is a rare and exciting chance to join a modern, established professional services firm at Director level (with a clear roadmap to Partner within 6–12 months). You will play a role in leading the office, managing its integration into the wider firm while maintaining a strong local presence and client focus.

The role combines strategic leadership with operational responsibility, offering the chance to influence culture, service delivery, and growth. You will also manage key client relationships, mentor team members, modernize processes, and identify new business opportunities.

The Duties

  • Client Engagements: Lead and maintain high-value client relationships across audit, tax, and advisory services.
  • Business Development: Drive growth via new client acquisition, service expansion, and collaboration with the wider firm.
  • Cultural Integration: Foster a high‑performing, inclusive office culture aligned with the firm’s values.
  • Modernization: Implement best practices and digital tools to enhance service and operations.
  • Team Development: Recruit, train, and retain talent; promote learning and succession planning.
  • Strategic Input: Contribute to group‑wide strategy alongside other senior leaders.

The Candidate

  • Chartered Accountant (ACA / ACCA or equivalent).
  • Experience at Director, or senior management level in a professional services environment.
  • Background in audit, tax, accounting, or advisory services.
  • Proven commercial acumen and business development experience.
  • Experience advising SMEs, owner‑managed businesses, and/or corporates.
  • Experience with office/team integration post‑acquisition is highly desirable.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills.
  • Interest in modernising practice through digital/cloud solutions.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a hands‑on approach.
  • Committed to inclusive culture and team wellbeing.

The Package

  • Senior leadership role in a top UK firm with influence and autonomy.
  • Potential for equity participation and long‑term progression.
  • Access to a national network of expertise and support.
  • Flexible working environment.
