Managing Director and Partner - Build Addvant's Next Office

Are you a state-authorised accountant with a commercial drive and a desire to build a business, clients and people?

Addvant is looking for managing directors and partners who want to establish and develop new, locally rooted accounting offices. We are considering several locations, and the right candidate is more important than the postcode. That is why we want to hear from strong candidates who see a good market for Addvant where they live and work.

This is an opportunity for you who want to create something of your own, while also recognising the value of having an established brand, modern systems and a solid professional environment behind you. You will have responsibility, influence and the opportunity to become a co-owner of the company you lead.

About Addvant

Addvant is a modern accounting environment built around small, independent and locally rooted companies. We believe in closeness to clients, short decision-making paths and leaders who have real influence over the development of their own office.

At the same time, no one stands alone. As a new partner, you get access from day one to an established professional environment, proven work processes and modern, cloud-based solutions. Addvant has good framework agreements with leading system suppliers, including Visma and PowerOffice.

We have long-term owners and are building Addvant for lasting development.

The role

As managing director and partner, you will be responsible for establishing and developing Addvant's business in your local market. In the start-up phase you work operationally with clients and accounting deliveries, while building the client portfolio and laying the foundation for further growth.

As the office grows, the role will gradually place greater emphasis on leadership, employee development and business development.

Key tasks will be to:

• Establish and lead the office, with responsibility for daily operations, quality and profitable development.

• Build an attractive client portfolio through networking, relationship work and active sales.

• Work operationally with clients in the establishment and growth phase.

• Recruit and develop employees who can help build the office further.

• Create a strong local team and a working environment characterised by security, wellbeing and high professional quality.

• Follow technological developments and ensure effective use of modern systems.

• Work closely with the other Addvant offices on professional matters, clients, technology and development.

You must enjoy being visible in the market. Networking, client meetings, breakfast seminars and direct contact with potential clients will be a natural part of the role.

Who are we looking for?

To be managing director of the company you must be a state-authorised accountant.

We also believe that you:

• Know the accounting industry and understand what it takes to deliver good and profitable client services.

• Have a commercial mindset and are motivated by sales, relationships and growth.

• Enjoy working with clients and are able to build trust with local businesses.

• Want to develop others, be a good support to employees and build a strong team.

• Are a secure and clear leader who follows up people, operations and results.

• Work independently, take initiative and remain steady when not all answers are given in advance.

• Are curious about technology and see how good systems can create better services and more efficient work processes.

• Have a relevant local network, or the ability and willingness to build one.

Leadership experience is positive, but the most important thing is that you have the right potential and a genuine desire to build a business and people over time.

Making it easier to build your own business

Starting an accounting office alone involves significant work on systems, quality, compliance, financing and oversight from authorities - often long before the business has gained momentum in turnover.

At Addvant you start with a ready-made foundation:

• Office, PC, systems, IT access and applications are made ready from day one.

• An accessible professional environment gives you advice, support and sparring when you need it.

• Established routines for quality and compliance mean you can spend more time on clients, employees and growth.

• Framework agreements with system suppliers provide good terms and access to modern solutions.

• Financial headroom contributes to security in the start-up phase.

• An established brand and organisation gives you a better starting point in the local market.

You get the freedom and influence of building something of your own, without having to work everything out alone.

Co-ownership and terms

The role gives the opportunity to become a co-owner of the company you lead. Addvant wants a partner who takes long-term responsibility for the business, the clients and the employees.

Final terms and ownership structure are agreed as part of the process.

The culture at Addvant

Addvant combines a high work ethic with an informal and inclusive culture. There is a short distance between the offices and a low threshold for contacting a colleague when you need professional support or sparring.

We want a working environment where people enjoy being together, including outside working hours. At the same time, we believe work should be combinable with family and life outside work.

With us there is room for ambition, humour and family life.

The clients you will help

Addvant works primarily with small and medium-sized businesses that want more than traditional bookkeeping. Clients should experience that we know their business, understand their needs and use technology to create better overview and more efficient processes.

As a new partner you get the opportunity to shape the client portfolio in your market, with support from the rest of Addvant.

Several relevant locations

Addvant is considering various locations for new offices. What matters is the combination of the right partner, an attractive local market and good opportunities to build a strong professional environment.

Therefore, please tell us which region you know, what opportunities you see in the market, and why Addvant should establish its next office precisely there.
