The role they are looking to fill currently would suit an experienced Senior who is ready to step up into management, or an existing Manager who might be looking to escape the shackles of an old school practice.

Previous experience in a senior role within a practice is essential, and you are likely to hold either an ACA or ACCA qualification.
