Northway Accountancy Limited | Harrogate / North Yorkshire
£40,000–£45,000 depending on experience | Full-time
Northway Accountancy is a growing, ICAEW-regulated Chartered Accountancy practice based in North Yorkshire.
We work with ambitious business owners across a range of sectors, helping them stay on top of their accounts and tax while giving them the information and advice they need to make better decisions. We use modern cloud-based technology to keep things efficient and put a strong emphasis on building long-term relationships with our clients.
We’re now looking for a Client Manager to join the team as Northway continues to grow.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond simply preparing accounts and become a key point of contact for their clients.
The role
As Client Manager, you'll take responsibility for a portfolio of clients, managing their day-to-day accounting and tax requirements while building strong relationships and identifying opportunities to help them improve and grow.
You'll work closely with the Director and wider Northway team, with increasing responsibility as the practice develops.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing a portfolio of owner-managed business clients
- Acting as a key point of contact and building strong client relationships
- Preparing and reviewing year-end accounts under FRS 102 and FRS 105
- Preparing Corporation Tax computations and returns
- Preparing and reviewing Self Assessment tax returns
- Reviewing bookkeeping and VAT work
- Preparing management accounts and financial information
- Assisting clients with tax planning and business advice
- Identifying opportunities to provide additional value to clients
- Managing deadlines and ensuring work is completed accurately and efficiently
- Reviewing work prepared by junior members of the team as the practice grows
- Helping clients make better use of cloud accounting technology
- Supporting the continued development of Northway's systems and processes
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This isn't a role where you'll simply be given a list of accounts to prepare.
We want our Client Manager to know their clients, understand their businesses and become someone those clients can rely on.
Who we're looking for
We're looking for someone who is technically strong but, just as importantly, enjoys dealing with people.
You could be:
- ACA or ACCA qualified
- A qualified-by-experience accountant with strong practice experience
You'll ideally have several years' experience working in an accountancy practice and be comfortable managing your own portfolio of clients.
We're particularly interested in someone who:
- Has strong accounts and Corporation Tax experience
- Is comfortable dealing directly with clients
- Can manage their own workload and deadlines
- Has good attention to detail without getting lost in unnecessary bureaucracy
- Is commercially minded and interested in the wider picture behind the numbers
- Is confident using cloud accounting software, particularly Xero
- Enjoys technology and finding better ways of doing things
- Can communicate financial information clearly to business owners
- Wants responsibility and the opportunity to progress
Why Northway?
We're building a modern accountancy practice where technology makes things more efficient and client relationships still come first.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We're a young, growing firm with a cloud-first, technology-driven and advisory-led approach.
That means you'll have the opportunity to:
- Take genuine ownership of your client relationships
- Work directly with business owners and decision-makers
- Get involved in advisory work rather than just compliance
- Help shape how a growing practice operates
- Work with modern cloud-based systems
- Have a clear route to increased responsibility as the firm grows
- Work in a friendly, relaxed environment where good ideas are encouraged
We're not looking for someone to simply fit into an existing mould. As Northway grows, there will be plenty of opportunity for the right person to help shape the role and the wider business.
