This role involves guiding clients through accounting and tax processes, representing their interests internally, and strengthening long-term client relationships by prioritizing satisfaction and trust.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Client Relationship Management

• Act as the main liaison between the firm and clients by maintaining consistent communication (onboarding, addressing escalated concerns, monitoring satisfaction and retention) while setting clear expectations.
• Build and nurture strong client relationships by understanding their goals, tailoring service to their needs, and anticipating future requirements.
• Manage and monitor an assigned portfolio of clients.
• Resolve Level 1 escalations referred by Front Desk Administrative Assistants or Document Specialists.

Client Support & Service Delivery

• Provide regular updates on client projects, tax returns, or financial statements, and ensure proactive follow-up on deadlines.
• Oversee the delivery pipeline, including preparing tax invoices, processing payments, and compiling returns.

Problem Solving & Conflict Resolution

• Address and resolve client complaints in a professional, timely manner with the goal of retaining client trust and business.
• Serve as the in-office point of contact for Client Services team members, including Document Specialists, Front Desk staff, and seasonal employees.
• Provide backup support for fellow Client Advocates and team members during absences or as needed.

WHO YOU ARE

• Participate in internal training opportunities.
• Assist with special projects as assigned by Client Services or Tax leadership.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience in customer service, administrative support, or executive assistance.
• 5+ years of experience managing client relationships, ideally within accounting, finance, or tax services. Demonstrated skills in conflict resolution and negotiation are essential.
• Strong proficiency in CRM tools, tax software, and Microsoft Office Suite. Experience with accounting/tax software such as CCH, QuickBooks, Xero, or UltraTax is strongly preferred.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical information. Strong listening skills, problem-solving ability, and a client-first mindset are required.
• Proven ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
• Highly organized with keen attention to detail. Able to manage multiple client needs and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced setting.
