About the Firm
Our client is a well-established, independent accountancy practice serving businesses across the Suffolk and Norfolk region. Built from the ground up, the firm has earned an excellent reputation as a trusted adviser, delivering high-quality compliance services alongside insightful commercial support.
From their office in Ipswich their service offering extends well beyond core accounts and tax, encompassing payroll, company secretarial, bookkeeping, forecasting, business start-ups, management consultancy, IT solutions advice and specialist tax planning. This breadth of expertise allows them to build long-term, value-driven relationships with their clients.
The Opportunity
With a loyal, experienced team and a strong culture of collaboration, the firm is now entering an exciting phase of succession planning. The Senior Partner is preparing for retirement, and the existing ownership team is keen to welcome an experienced accounting professional to work closely with them in delivering client services and helping to guide the firm’s future.
Reed Practice has been engaged to identify an individual who will play a key role in client management, service delivery and, if desired, the ongoing strategic leadership of the practice.

- Equally, candidates who are content at senior or manager level and value stability, autonomy and high-quality client work
- We welcome those who are qualified or qualified by experience seeking full or part time work.
Ambition is welcomed but not mandatory — the firm is focused on finding the right professional fit rather than forcing a predefined career path.
