Client Manager - Accountancy Practice

Are you an ACA or ACCA qualified accountant ready to take the next step in your career? This is an excellent opportunity to join a high-performing team where you'll have genuine ownership of a varied client portfolio, work closely with senior leadership and play a key role in developing both clients and colleagues.

With a £50,000 - £60,000 salary, this is a strong opportunity for someone ready to progress.

The Opportunity

This Client Manager role would suit an experienced Assistant Manager ready for progression, or an established Client Manager looking for a more people-focused environment. You'll have responsibility for a diverse portfolio of owner-managed businesses and other clients, acting as a trusted adviser while overseeing the delivery of high-quality accounts and advisory services. You'll also have the opportunity to coach and develop junior team members, work alongside Directors and contribute to the continued growth of the practice.

What you'll be doing

• Take ownership of a varied portfolio, managing client relationships from day-to-day through to more strategic discussions.
• Build strong, long-term relationships and become a trusted point of contact for your clients.
• Oversee the preparation and delivery of accounts, tax and wider advisory work.
• Lead, support and develop members of the accounts team, helping them reach their potential.
• Work closely with Directors and colleagues across the wider business to deliver a joined-up service.
• Identify opportunities to strengthen existing client relationships and support business development activity.
• Gain a strong understanding of your clients' businesses and provide commercially useful advice.

• Confident leadership and people-management skills.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to build rapport at all levels.
• A proactive, commercially minded approach and a genuine interest in understanding clients' businesses.
• Confidence working with accounting technology; knowledge of CCH would be advantageous.

You’ll be someone who enjoys working collaboratively, takes pride in developing others and is looking for a role where progression is actively encouraged rather than simply promised.

What's on offer

• £50,000 - £60,000 salary, depending on experience.
• Genuine career progression within a growing professional services environment.
• A supportive, high-performing team with experienced leadership.
• Generous annual leave entitlement.
