Job Description

Director, Partner Designate - Business Advisory Service


Your new company
This is not a sleepy partnership waiting room. It’s a privately owned, rapidly expanding Business Advisory firm with a genuinely impressive client base - entrepreneurial, ambitious, and increasingly international.The culture is commercial, collaborative and refreshingly modern. Decisions are made quickly. Talent is backed. Technology is invested in properly. The senior leadership team is young, driven and forward-thinking, with a genuine work hard, enjoy the ride mindset.
If you like smart people, big ideas, and clients who actually value advice - you’ll feel at home here.

Your new role
A newly created Director / Partner Designate position, built for someone who doesn’t want to wait five years for a partner to retire.You’ll be given full ownership to build and lead a new Business Advisory offering, with a clear, realistic route into Partnership within 12-18 months.
This is a proper step-up role:
  • Leading key client relationships
  • Driving business development
  • Hiring and shaping your own team
  • Working closely with the Managing Partner on strategy and growth
Think Senior Manager ready to step up, or Director who wants faster progression - not endless politics.

What you'll need to succeed
  • ACA or ACCA qualified (CTA / RI fully supported if needed)
  • Strong grounding across statutory accounts, audit, tax and company secretarial
  • An existing client portfolio (or clear ability to win and grow one)
  • Background in a mid-tier, independent or entrepreneurial firm
  • Commercial, advisory-led mindset
  • Leadership style that inspires, not intimidates
  • Motivation to build something, not just inherit it
What you'll get in return

  • £85,000 - £105,000+Bonus
  • Clear and realistic route to Partner / Equity Partner
  • Hybrid working and international exposure
  • High-quality clients and strong internal support
  • A genuine opportunity to build something of your own
What you need to do now: If you’re a recent Director eyeing Partnership or a Senior Manager who knows they’re ready, apply now for a confidential conversation. For regulatory and client-facing reasons, applicants must already be UK qualified with the right to work in the UK. Sponsorship is not available.
