Salary: £60,000 to £67,500 DOE

Working Style: Fully Remote (UK only)

Are you an experienced accounting professional who thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments? Do you enjoy leading teams, shaping client experience, and being part of a modern, people-focused practice? If you’re looking for a strategic leadership role with genuine flexibility and impact — this could be the one.

We’re supporting a dynamic, tech-forward accounting firm that partners with ambitious, growing businesses across the UK, particularly in London’s thriving start-up and scale-up ecosystem. The firm blends high-quality technical work with a genuinely supportive, flexible culture where your ideas matter and your career growth is prioritised.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Manager / Client Director , you’ll take senior responsibility for a portfolio of exciting, high-growth clients — ensuring the delivery of high-quality outsourced finance services while empowering your team to excel.

This is a leadership-focused role with fewer day-to-day client touchpoints, giving you more space for :

• Strategic oversight
• Coaching and developing team members
• Driving commercial growth
• Improving processes and delivery
• Ensuring client satisfaction at a senior level

You will also remain ready to step in hands-on where needed — especially during periods of growth or capacity changes.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading, mentoring and developing a remote team
• Owning the quality and success of client relationships
• Managing escalations and providing high-level strategic advice
• Overseeing onboarding and ensuring a seamless outsourced finance function
• Reviewing complex accounts, VAT and management reporting
• Monitoring portfolio performance
• Identifying opportunities for upsells / cross-sells within the firm
• Contributing to continuous improvement across the practice

What You’ll Bring

• ACA / ACCA qualification (or equivalent)
• 4+ years’ experience in a UK practice, in a client-facing role
• Strong hands-on accounting experience across year-end, VAT, payroll, management accounts
• Confidence working in a modern, paperless practice with excellent systems awareness
• Strong leadership, communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, growing environment
• A passion for supporting start-ups and high-growth businesses
• UK residency & right to work (role is fully remote within the UK)

Why This Firm?

If you value a workplace where people genuinely enjoy what they do, where ideas are heard, and where flexibility is real — you’ll fit right in.

This is perfect for someone who :

• Loves working from home
• Wants flexibility around personal life and hobbies
• Enjoys coaching and developing others
• Likes working closely with exciting start-ups and scale-ups
• Wants to influence the direction of a growing, modern firm
