You'll inherit a loyal portfolio of owner-managed businesses while working closely with the Partners to help shape the next phase of the firm's growth. If you're looking for greater autonomy, more client interaction and a clear pathway to senior leadership, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

The Role

As an Accounts Manager / Client Manager, you'll take ownership of a diverse portfolio of clients, becoming their trusted adviser across statutory accounts, corporation tax and wider business matters. You'll also play a key role in supporting and developing junior members of the team while helping the practice continue its impressive growth trajectory.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing a varied portfolio of owner-managed businesses across multiple sectors.
• Reviewing and preparing statutory accounts for limited companies.
• Preparing and reviewing corporation tax returns.
• Acting as the primary point of contact for clients, providing practical commercial advice.
• Reviewing the work of junior accountants and supporting their development.
• Identifying opportunities to improve client service and add value through advisory work.
• Working closely with the Partners to support business growth and client retention.

About You

• ACA or ACCA qualified.
• Significant experience within UK accountancy practice.
• Strong technical knowledge of statutory accounts and corporation tax.
• Previous experience managing a client portfolio.
• Comfortable reviewing work and mentoring junior staff.
• Commercially minded with excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Looking to build a long-term career within an ambitious and expanding practice.

What's on Offer

• £70,000 - £75,000 depending on experience.
• Hybrid and flexible working.
• A genuine opportunity to progress as the firm continues to grow.
• Direct exposure to the Partners and involvement in key business decisions.
• A collaborative, supportive and entrepreneurial working environment.
• A varied client portfolio with plenty of autonomy and responsibility.
• Long-term career development with a clear route into senior leadership.

Opportunities like this don't come around often. If you're an experienced Accounts Manager / Client Manager looking to join a thriving independent practice where your contribution will be recognised and your career can continue to develop, we'd love to speak with you in complete confidence.
