General Practice Partner | East Sussex | Competitive Package + Pathway to EquityPartner-level roles in regional practice don't come up often. Ones where you walk into an established portfolio, share office leadership with another senior partner, and have a clear path to equity, even less so.A modern accountancy and advisory practice with offices in London and East Sussex is appointing a second partner into its Sussex office. You'll work alongside the existing partner, sharing accountability for the team and the office, with c.1.1m–1.2m of portfolio allocated to you from day one.This isn't a build-it-from-nothing brief. It's a step into a real client base, with real relationships to deepen and real scope to bring your own network in over time.What makes this firm differentIt's a growth-focused practice that has invested seriously in two things most regional firms haven't: an integrated offshore delivery team of 100+ accounting professionals based in northern India, and a genuine programme of work around technology, automation and AI-assisted workflow. The offshore team isn't a back-office bolt-on. They sit inside the daily delivery model, which means UK partners have more capacity for the work that actually moves the dial for clients.You'll also have specialist colleagues across tax advisory, corporate finance, financial planning and outsourced finance function on hand, so you can offer clients a much broader service without trying to build every capability locally.What you'll be doingOwning a 1.1m+ portfolio of OMB and HNW clients across compliance and advisoryBuilding deeper relationships with clients who currently have limited partner-level contactSpotting and acting on advisory work, from tax planning and cash extraction through to succession and exitConnecting clients to specialist colleagues across the firm and acting as their primary relationship ownerBringing in new business through your local network and referral relationshipsProviding technical leadership across FRS 102 and UK GAAP for owner-managed groupsCoaching and developing the Sussex team, and engaging actively with the offshore team (with annual travel to India)Helping shape how the office adopts new technology and works smarterWho this will suitYou're ACA, ACCA or equivalent qualified with 10–15 years in general practice, including time at director or partner level. You've grown a portfolio before. You're known in East Sussex, Kent or the wider south-east, or you're credible enough to build that profile quickly.You enjoy clients. You're commercially sharp and you spot advisory opportunities others miss. You lead people properly, whether that's a junior in Bexhill or a colleague on a video call from India. And you're genuinely curious about where practice is heading on tech and AI rather than wary of it.What's on offerCompetitive partner-level package with transparency around equity progressionAn established portfolio from day oneReal influence over how the Sussex office growsAccess to specialist resource across tax, corporate finance and financial planningA firm that is actively investing in modern ways of workingA platform to bring your network and, in time, prior client relationships into the practiceIf you've spent your career in regional practice and want a partnership role that respects that, while still giving you genuine scale, modern tooling and room to grow, this one's worth a conversation.To apply or have a confidential chat: Lydia at ProTalent lydia@protalent.co |01273 491 852
