Job description
VANRATH are delighted to be partnering with a high-growth, boutique advisory practice in Belfast to appoint a Business Advisory Accountant.
This is not a traditional compliance role. You'll work directly with founders, scaling businesses, and high-net-worth clients - helping them make better commercial decisions, not just ticking boxes.
If you enjoy client interaction, thinking beyond the numbers, and want to move into a more advisory-led position, this is a genuinely standout opportunity.
The Role
You'll take a hands-on role supporting a diverse portfolio of ambitious clients across tech, creative and professional sectors.
What's in It for You
A genuinely advisory-focused role (minimal "box-ticking")
Direct exposure to founders and high-growth businesses
Broad tax exposure - corporate, personal and R&D
Fast-tracked progression in a growing, ambitious firm
Modern office, collaborative culture and early finish Fridays
30 days holiday, pension and bonus potential
What You Will Do
Work closely with business owners, acting as a trusted advisor
Prepare and interpret management accounts and KPIs
Deliver cashflow forecasting and financial modelling
Advise on tax-efficient structures, profit extraction and planning
Support across CGT, VAT, R&D and personal tax matters
Oversee compliance including statutory accounts, tax and payroll
Build strong client relationships and contribute to practice growth
Requirements
ACA / ACCA qualified
Strong grounding in accounts and tax within practice
Commercial mindset with an interest in business advisory
Confident communicator who enjoys working with clients
Experience with cloud systems (Xero, QuickBooks etc.)
