As our practice continues to grow, we're looking for an experienced Executive Assistant & Practice Coordinator to become a key member of our team.

This is far more than a traditional Executive Assistant role.

From managing client communications and statutory deadlines to overseeing onboarding processes and supporting practice administration, you will play a vital role in ensuring everything runs efficiently.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing the Senior Partner's diary, scheduling meetings and coordinating appointments
• Acting as the first point of contact for clients by telephone and email, handling enquiries professionally and confidentially
• Preparing, formatting and proofreading correspondence, reports and other business documents
• Coordinating statutory filing deadlines, including company accounts and tax returns, and chasing outstanding information from clients
• Managing engagement letters, client onboarding documentation and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance processes
• Maintaining accurate client records using the firm's practice management system
• Organising meetings, preparing agendas, taking minutes and following up on actions
• Supporting billing administration, handling incoming post and general office administration
• Assisting with practice improvement projects and providing wider administrative support as required

Ideal candidate

We are looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership, thrives on organisation and can confidently manage multiple priorities whilst maintaining exceptional attention to detail.

• Previous experience as an Executive Assistant, Practice Coordinator, Practice Administrator, Office Manager, Senior Administrator or similar role
• Experience within an accountancy practice, legal firm or other professional services environment would be highly advantageous
• Excellent organisational and time management skills with the ability to prioritise competing deadlines
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a professional and confident telephone manner
• A high level of discretion when handling confidential client and financial information
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, including Outlook, Word and Excel
• The ability to work independently whilst also supporting a collaborative team
