How to apply
Send your CV and a short cover note telling us why Wolf & Wright sounds like the right next step to zak.wright@wolfandwright.co.uk The cover note doesn't need to be long - a few honest paragraphs about what you're looking for and what you'd bring tells us far more than a polished form letter.
We aim to reply to every applicant within ten working days. If it feels like there's a fit on paper, our process is straightforward:
- A friendly intro call (around 30 minutes) — a relaxed chat over video with someone from our team. We'll tell you more about Wolf & Wright and the role, and we'd love to hear about your background, what you're enjoying about your work right now, and what you're hoping to find next. There's nothing to prepare.
- A follow-up conversation — for a small number of candidates, we'll invite you back for a longer chat, usually in our Cardiff office over a coffee. It's a chance to meet a couple more of the team, dig a little deeper into the role, and make sure we'd both be happy working together. We'll share anything you'd find useful in advance — no surprises, no tests.
Whatever the outcome, we'll always come back to you with a clear answer and honest feedback. And if the timing isn't right but you'd like to stay in touch for future roles, drop us a line at the same address — we keep a running list of people we'd love to work with one day.
Finance Manager / Client Portfolio Lead (Outsourced FD Services)
We’re hiring a commercially-minded accountant to take ownership of a portfolio of growing businesses — acting as a key finance partner to clients, not just preparing accounts.
This is not a traditional practice role. You’ll work closely with directors, providing real insight, shaping decisions, and helping clients scale.
The role
You’ll manage your own portfolio of clients across a range of sectors, building strong relationships and acting as a trusted advisor.
Your work will include:
• Management accounts, forecasting and cashflow planning
• Supporting strategic decision-making alongside directors
• Identifying opportunities to add value beyond the numbers
• Involvement in projects and wider advisory work
Why Wolf & Wright?
We’re seeing a shift in the market, with more accountants moving back into practice — driven by clearer progression, greater variety, and more meaningful advisory work.
At Wolf & Wright, we’ve built our model around this:
• Clear progression and long-term career development
• Exposure to a wide range of clients, industries and challenges
• A strong focus on commercial, advisory-led work
• Direct access to business owners and decision-makers
• A flexible, modern working environment
This role offers the best parts of practice and industry combined.
What’s on offer
• Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
• Quarterly bonus
• Pension and benefits package
• Hybrid working (1 day in the office)
• Real autonomy and ownership of your portfolio
About you
• ACA / ACCA qualified (or equivalent experience)
• Background in practice or outsourced finance
• Comfortable working directly with clients
• A commercial mindset and interest in advisory work
If you’re looking for a role with more variety, ownership and impact, we’d be happy to have a confidential conversation.
