Job description

Your new firm

You will be joining a well‑established and growing accountancy practice with a strong reputation for delivering an exceptional standard of service to its clients. The firm is forward‑thinking, values long‑term relationships and places genuine emphasis on employee wellbeing alongside professional development. Based in modern, accessible offices in Grangemouth, the firm offers a supportive working environment with excellent facilities and ample on‑site parking.

Your new role

As Client Account Manager, you will take ownership of your own client portfolio, managing relationships and acting as a trusted adviser across a range of accounting, tax and compliance matters. You will play a key role in maintaining the high service standards the firm is known for, while exercising strong management control over client work. The role will also involve coaching and developing junior members of the team, contributing to a collaborative and high‑performing practice environment. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accountant looking to progress their career with clear scope for development.

What you'll need to succeed

To be successful in this role, you will be a qualified accountant (ACCA, ICAS or equivalent) with post‑qualification experience gained within a general practice environment. You will have a proven track record of managing a client portfolio and strong core skills across accounting, corporate and personal tax, and VAT compliance. Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills are essential, as is the ability to work confidently to deadlines using your own initiative. You will be comfortable using accounting software such as SAGE Line 50 and Microsoft Word and Excel, with IRIS knowledge being advantageous but not essential. A positive attitude, strong work ethic and team‑focused approach are key.

What you'll get in return

In return, you will receive a competitive salary, a generous benefits package and the opportunity to build a long‑term career within a supportive and progressive firm. The role offers genuine career progression, exposure to a diverse client base and the chance to make a meaningful impact within a business that values quality, collaboration and personal development. You can expect a positive working culture where your contribution is recognised, and your professional growth is actively encouraged.
