As part of HW Fisher and the wider Sumer Group, we combine decades of specialist sector expertise with the scale, resources and career opportunities of a growing national professional services network.
We’re looking for an Accounts Manager to join our medical team. This is not your standard practice role – you’ll be working on a portfolio of GP practices and healthcare clients, overseeing the delivery of accounts, tax, and advisory services, and ensuring our clients receive the highest level of expert support. You’ll be part of a talented team, coordinate workflow, act as the main point of contact for clients, and help identify opportunities to add value across their businesses.

- Allocate work effectively, monitor progress, and escalate issues to Directors as needed

Technical & Accounts Work
- Prepare and review practice accounts, drawings, tax projections, and pensions estimates to a high standard
- Ensure files are complete, accurate, and reviewed before Director or Partner sign-off
- Provide technical guidance and updates to the team
- Keep up-to-date with accounting standards and developments in the healthcare sector
Client Engagement
- Act as a senior point of contact for clients in the portfolio
- Attend client meetings and resolve queries efficiently
- Maintain visibility of all services provided, including bookkeeping, TIS, pension, incorporation, and advisory services
Business Development
- Support business development initiatives including client pitches and presentations
- Identify opportunities for new clients or services and collaborate with Directors and Partners
- Coach team members to recognise potential business opportunities

- Confident communicator, able to liaise effectively with clients and stakeholders
- Strong leadership skills, able to motivate and develop a team
- Commercially aware and client-focused, able to identify opportunities within a portfolio
- Medical or healthcare sector experience is desirable but not essential
Why Join Us?
- Work in a highly specialised area of accountancy supporting healthcare professionals
- Exposure to complex and technically interesting client work, beyond standard practice accounts
- Develop expertise in medical partnerships, NHS finance, and GP accounting
- Join a firm with decades of reputation in the medical sector
- Benefit from the resources and development opportunities within HW Fisher and the wider Sumer Group
