Full job description

The Obsessed Group is an ACCA-regulated accountancy, advisory and acquisitions firm based in Chelmsford. We're growing through an active acquisitions programme and looking for a Senior Accountant to run a portfolio of clients and introduce new ones to the group. Base salary £45,000-£55,000 plus tiered signing bonuses, with strong performers earning £40,000+ on top.

The accountants we want come from one of two places. Either you work at a firm and look after your own portfolio of clients, or you're self-employed and run your own small practice, but are now looking to have the security of a salary whilst taking care of your clients in-house. You're qualified, you've done the client work yourself and you're looking for what comes next.

One thing we can't compromise on: you have to genuinely care about your clients. We work hard to build excellent relationships with our clients, and that has to be a strong focus for you, too.

Most accountants in practice never see a penny for the clients they bring in. We pay tiered signing bonuses on every fee-paying client you introduce, with no cap and the full backing of our sales team.

About Obsessed

The firm is growing through an active acquisitions programme and direct client wins. We offer a range of advisory training for our clients, alongside live in-person events and business growth mentorship. This is a real moment to join - the firm is poised for fast growth, the foundations have been meticulously put together and the people who come in now help shape what comes next.

The role

You'll run your own portfolio of clients. Day-to-day:

Manage the client relationships - you're the one they call, the one who signs off on their accounts, the one who knows their business
Deliver compliance work (year-end accounts, corporation tax, VAT and payroll) to the standard you'd want for your own business
Bring advisory work to clients where it's relevant - we have the structure to support it
Work with the sales team on new client wins - they generate and qualify the leads, you handle the technical discussion and close on fit
Onboard new clients into the firm cleanly - we have the systems and support staff to take the admin off you

Who this is for

This role is for you if:

You're a qualified accountant managing a portfolio of clients at a firm and you've stopped being challenged by it
You're self-employed running your own small practice and you've decided you'd rather do the work than run the business
You're a qualified accountant who hasn't been looking actively, but the right move would change that

You're ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified. Or you're qualified by experience with a real portfolio behind you. Either way, you've been doing this long enough to know what good client work looks like.

What you'll bring

A qualification - ACA, ACCA or CIMA - or qualified-by-experience with a portfolio to evidence it
Real experience managing a portfolio of clients, either at a firm or in your own practice
The technical skills to deliver compliance work cleanly and the judgement to spot when a client needs advisory
Comfort with modern cloud accounting
A network of relationships you've built - other accountants, IFAs, solicitors and business owners. The people who do well here come with connections as well as their technical skills. We expect you to be the kind of person other professionals trust enough to refer to.
The drive to be paid for what you bring in. The structure rewards you when you introduce fee-paying clients to the group. If that idea doesn't excite you, this isn't the role.

What we offer

The package:

Base salary £45,000-£55,000 (depending on experience)
Tiered signing bonus structure for every fee-paying client you introduce, with no cap. Strong performers earn £40,000+ on top of base salary.
OTE £85,000+ realistic for active introducers
Full sales team support on every introduction
20 days annual leave plus 8 bank holidays
Pension scheme
CPD funding

The setup:

ACCA-regulated firm structure behind you
Direct working relationship with the founder and leadership team
Genuine path to senior leadership as the firm grows

Practicalities

Location: Chelmsford office. Full-time in the office preferred. Hybrid (minimum one day per week in the office) considered for the right person.
Hours: Full-time or part-time, both available
Start: As soon as possible
Notice periods: We understand notice and handover take time

How to apply

Send us your CV and a short cover note. The cover note doesn't need to be long. Tell us:

Where you currently work and what your portfolio looks like (size, mix of clients and sectors if relevant)
Why this role interests you - specifically what about it lines up with where you want to be
Anything we should know about your timing or your situation

We read every application. Strong applications get a 30-minute first conversation - a relaxed chat to see if there's a fit before we go further. From there we move quickly.

Pay: £45,000.00-£55,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Profit sharing
Referral programme
Work from home

Ability to commute/relocate:

Writtle CM1 1HT: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (required)

Application question(s):

Are you ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, or qualified by experience?
Do you have an existing portfolio of clients you're working with?

Education:

A-Level or equivalent (required)

Work Location: In person
