Business Development Executive

About Us: EarthOne Accounting is an India-based outsourcing partner for UK accounting firms and UK businesses. The work is done by qualified Chartered Accountants, with published pricing, one-month notice contracts, and GDPR-aligned data protection from the first file. We handle remote finance work for our clients, including tax returns, management accounts, and payroll. EarthOne was founded by Ketul Patel, a Chartered Accountant with more than a decade of experience in MSME accounting, finance staffing, and training across India and the UAE. Our aim is not to be the biggest firm in UK outsourcing but the most reliable one for the clients who choose us. Our group companies: AccountingBaba began in 2018 and is Surat's oldest CA-run accounting training institute, with three branches. Its courses cover Tally, Excel, finance software, compliance workflows, and AI tools for accounting professionals. Ask Accounting Baba is a recruitment agency that places only finance professionals: accountants, finance managers, and CAs. Clients across India and the UAE use it, and it commits to a 7-day shortlist and a 90-day free replacement guarantee. Boardroom CXO is the group's C-suite hiring practice. It places CFOs, CHROs, CTOs, and COOs into IPO-bound companies, PE-backed firms, and funded startups. The Role: You will own lead generation and lead nurturing for EarthOne's UK accounting business. You won't need to find leads from scratch. We provide the data, tools, and systems. Your job is to run outreach, start conversations with UK accounting firms and businesses, and move qualified prospects toward a signed engagement. After initial onboarding, we expect you to run this work independently.
