Job description
Accounting Team Lead (Practice)
Coventry
£45k-£50k

A growing accountancy practice is seeking an experienced Accounting Team Lead to take full ownership of a delivery team. This is a hands-on leadership role where responsibility sits across team performance, client delivery, and operational oversight.

The role is a “player-manager” position, with around 50–60% of time spent on chargeable work. The remainder focuses on leading people, managing workflow, and maintaining consistent delivery standards.

Key Responsibilities
  • Own team performance against fee targets, budgets, and profitability
  • Manage workflow to ensure work is accurately scoped, tracked, and delivered on time
  • Review live jobs, identify risks early, and take corrective action
  • Lead regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and development planning
  • Address performance issues promptly and uphold clear standards
  • Act as escalation point for client and delivery issues
  • Support recruitment and onboarding of new team members
  • Maintain high standards across technical output, communication, and client service

About You
This role suits a senior or emerging manager within practice who has already been informally leading others or is ready to take full ownership of a team.
You will be confident balancing technical delivery with people leadership, able to identify issues early, and comfortable having direct conversations when standards slip.

Experience
  • 5+ years in an accountancy practice
  • Strong grounding in accounts preparation and corporate/personal tax
  • Experience reviewing work and supporting junior staff
  • Informal or formal leadership experience preferred
  • ACA/ACCA qualified desirable but not essential

Benefits
  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Clear progression into senior leadership roles within the firm
  • Performance-related bonus structure
  • Hybrid working and flexible arrangements
  • Exposure to a broad client portfolio with real autonomy over delivery
  • Opportunity to shape team culture, processes, and standards directly

This is a leadership-first role where accountability for people, performance, and delivery sits at the centre of the position.
