Job description

Looking for a role that gives you the best of both practice and industry?

NXTGEN are working closely with an established accountancy firm that has recently launched a new Fractional Finance team, supporting ambitious local businesses with much more than traditional accountancy services.

This Client Finance Manager opportunity would suit someone who enjoys the technical side of finance but wants to get much closer to the businesses behind the numbers. You’ll work directly with business owners and management teams, becoming a trusted finance partner and helping them understand their numbers, improve processes and make better decisions.

As a Client Finance Manager, you’ll take ownership of your own portfolio and provide a broad range of hands‑on finance support, including:

• Producing management accounts and meaningful financial reporting
• Managing bookkeeping and VAT compliance
• Supporting month‑end processes
• Providing cashflow information and financial insight
• Advising business owners and senior stakeholders
• Improving finance systems and processes
• Supporting clients with their MTD requirements
• Reviewing work completed by colleagues and maintaining quality
• Helping shape and develop the new Fractional Finance service

Why this role?

For the right Client Finance Manager, this is a chance to step into something genuinely different, combining the variety of practice with the commercial exposure of industry.

• Build strong, long‑term client relationships
• Work across different businesses, sectors and challenges
• Gain real commercial exposure beyond traditional accounts production
• Have greater influence over business decisions and processes
• Manage your own portfolio with real ownership and autonomy
• Help shape a new service and put your own stamp on its development
• Benefit from the wider expertise and support of an established accountancy firm

This Client Finance Manager role is a genuinely new opportunity, giving you the chance to help shape the Fractional Finance offering while working closely with ambitious local businesses.

If you’re an experienced Client Finance Manager looking for something a little different from traditional practice, this could be well worth a conversation.

Salary is dependant on experience.
