Job description

Accounting Manager

Are you an experienced practice professional looking for your next step, with a £58,000 - £65,000 salary on offer? This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established accountancy firm where you can take ownership of a portfolio, build trusted client relationships and have genuine influence over the service provided.

As an Accounting Manager, you’ll manage a varied portfolio of clients, acting as a key point of contact while overseeing the delivery of accounts, tax and wider advisory work. This is a role for someone who enjoys combining technical accounting knowledge with strong client management. You’ll work closely with business owners and senior stakeholders, while also supporting junior team members and contributing to the continued development of the practice. Based in Wembley, the role offers a strong balance of client ownership, technical responsibility and progression within an established accountancy environment. The package includes a competitive salary alongside opportunities to develop your career.

What you’ll be doing

• Managing your own portfolio of clients across a range of sectors and business sizes
• Overseeing the preparation and review of year-end and statutory accounts
• Supporting clients with corporation tax and personal tax matters where appropriate
• Building long-term relationships and becoming a trusted adviser to your portfolio
• Reviewing work produced by junior and semi-senior team members
• Providing coaching, guidance and technical support to colleagues
• Identifying opportunities to introduce additional services and strengthen client relationships
• Working closely with partners and senior management on more complex client requirements
• Helping to improve processes and maintain high standards of service delivery
• Taking an active interest in the commercial performance and development of your portfolio

What we’re looking for

You’ll ideally be ACA or ACCA qualified, or have significant relevant experience within practice, with a strong grounding in accounts and tax. You should be comfortable managing your own client portfolio and confident dealing directly with clients, from owner‑managed businesses through to more established organisations. The successful candidate is likely to have:

• Strong experience within an accountancy practice environment
• Proven experience managing a portfolio of clients
• Good technical knowledge across accounts and tax
• The confidence to review work and support less experienced team members
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• A commercially minded approach to client service
• The ability to manage competing deadlines and priorities
• A proactive approach to identifying client needs and opportunities

What’s on offer

• Competitive salary of £58,000 - £65,000, depending on experience
• Genuine opportunity to take ownership of a varied client portfolio
• Clear scope for career progression within a growing practice
• A collaborative and supportive team environment
• Exposure to a broad range of clients and business challenges
• The chance to develop your advisory and commercial skill set
• A role based in Wembley, with strong access to local clients and the wider London market

If you’re an experienced practice professional looking for an Accounting Manager position where your client management skills and technical expertise will be valued, with a salary of £58,000 - £65,000, this could be a strong next step.
