Client Manager – Independent Accountancy Practice
Northampton
£50,000–£60,000, Depending On Experience
Would you like greater responsibility, genuine flexibility and the opportunity to have a real influence within a successful independent accountancy firm?
Our client is a well-established Northampton practice that has built an excellent reputation through long-standing client relationships, high-quality service and a supportive approach to its people.
Long before flexible working became commonplace, the firm recognised that trust and autonomy help people perform at their best. It continues to offer generous hybrid working arrangements alongside modern, cloud-based technology and a genuine commitment to professional development.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced practice accountant who would enjoy managing a varied portfolio, developing strong client relationships and contributing to the continued growth of the firm.
The Role
As Client Manager, you will take responsibility for a portfolio of owner-managed businesses and SMEs, overseeing the delivery of accounts, tax and wider compliance services.
Your Responsibilities Will Include:
- Managing the workflow and delivery of work across your client portfolio
- Planning assignments and ensuring deadlines are met
- Reviewing draft statutory accounts, corporation tax returns and management accounts
- Maintaining strong, positive relationships with clients
- Acting as a key point of contact and providing practical support and advice
- Keeping the directors informed of progress, deadlines and significant client matters
- Supporting and developing junior members of the team
- Sharing technical knowledge and encouraging best practice
- Assisting the directors with advisory and tax-planning assignments
- Contributing more widely to the team when required to maintain high standards of client service
About You
You are likely to be:
- ACA or ACCA qualified, although an experienced QBE with the right background will also be considered
- Experienced in managing a portfolio of corporate clients within a UK accountancy practice
- Technically confident, with a strong working knowledge of FRS 102 Section 1A
- Knowledgeable in corporation tax and VAT
- Comfortable reviewing accounts, tax returns and other work prepared by colleagues
- An effective communicator who can build trusted relationships with clients and colleagues
- Organised, dependable and able to manage competing priorities and deadlines
- Supportive of junior colleagues and willing to share your knowledge
- Comfortable working within a smaller independent practice where initiative, flexibility and teamwork are valued
