Career Progression | Client Ownership | Route into Senior Leadership
You'll manage your own portfolio of clients, overseeing their accounts and tax requirements while acting as a trusted point of contact and supporting the wider accounts team.
What's on Offer?
- Genuine long-term progression into senior leadership
- Opportunity to take ownership of a varied client portfolio
- Supportive and approachable accountancy practice
- Direct exposure to partners and senior decision-makers
- Increasing responsibility as you develop
- Opportunity to further strengthen your technical and commercial skills
- Friendly team where your contribution will be noticed and valued
- Competitive salary depending on experience
We're working with an established accountancy practice in Woking that's looking for an experienced Client Manager to become an important part of its team.
This is particularly well suited to someone who doesn't just want another portfolio management role. Our client is looking for someone who can develop with the firm, take on increasing responsibility and progress towards a senior leadership position longer term.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
