Senior Accounts Manager to Partner

Senior Accounts Manager to Partner

Hybrid - North West London

£60,000 to £65,000

There are plenty of senior practice roles that promise progression. Very few genuinely put you side by side with a Partner and trust you to help shape the direction of the firm. This one does, without the glossy nonsense.

This opportunity sits within a well-established, growing business operating in the professional services space, supporting a broad portfolio of owner-managed businesses, investors and private clients. The role offers real influence, long-term progression and a clear pathway towards partnership for the right person.

You will be joining a stable, forward-thinking practice with modern systems, sensible processes and a pragmatic approach to client work. The role is offered on a hybrid basis, typically three days in the office and two from home, based in North West London.

Working closely with the Managing Partner, this position blends senior technical delivery with leadership and commercial oversight. As Senior Accounts Manager to Partner, you will act as a trusted right hand, ensuring clients are well looked after and the practice runs smoothly day to day.

This is not a back-office technical role. You will be visible, involved and relied upon to make decisions, manage people and spot opportunities to improve how things are done.
