Job description

Take ownership of an established accountancy practice office and lead it through an ambitious period of growth.

A well-established and growing accountancy firm is looking for a commercially minded Director to lead its Bournemouth office, develop the existing team and deliver a plan to double revenues over the next four years.

The office has a strong accounts-led client portfolio, supported by Personal Tax and Owner-Managed Business Tax services. It also has an established presence within the theatre, dance and creative sectors, with significant opportunity to diversify the client base and expand its reach across Bournemouth and the wider Dorset market.

You will inherit a technically strong team and receive substantial support from the wider business, including investment in marketing, networking, business development and additional headcount as revenues increase.

Responsibilities

As Director and Office Lead, you will:

  • Take overall responsibility for the leadership, performance and commercial growth of the office.

  • Manage, motivate and develop a team of three, creating clear direction and a collaborative culture.

  • Lead and develop an established portfolio of accounts, Personal Tax and OMB clients.

  • Review and sign off client work while maintaining high technical and service standards.

  • Drive business development activity, broaden the office’s client base and deliver sustainable revenue growth.

  • Build relationships across Bournemouth and the wider Dorset business community.

  • Recruit and develop additional team members as the office grows.

Requirements

As Director and Office Lead, you will need:

  • ACA, ACCA or equivalent qualification.

  • A current practising certificate enabling you to sign off client work.

  • Strong general practice experience across accounts, Personal Tax and owner-managed business clients.

  • Experience managing a substantial client portfolio and leading a team.

  • A commercial mindset with the confidence to network, generate new business and build local relationships.

Benefits

As Director and Office Lead, you will receive:

  • A performance-related bonus linked directly to the growth of the Bournemouth office.
  • Investment and support for marketing, networking and business development activity.

  • The opportunity to grow the team as the office and client portfolio expand.

  • Genuine autonomy to shape the strategy, culture and future direction of the office.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Director who wants more than a portfolio management role. You will have the freedom, backing and financial incentive to build a successful office and directly benefit from the growth you deliver. Apply now or contact Rutherford Briant Recruitment to discuss the opportunity in confidence.

Rutherford Briant is passionate about equity, diversity and inclusion. We seek individuals from the widest talent pool and encourage diverse and inclusive organisations to engage with our services. Our commitment to fair recruitment processes means that we welcome applicants from all backgrounds, regardless of race, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, age or socioeconomic background.
