Join an accountancy practice that's built differently.
At DIGI, we believe accountancy should be proactive, personal, and genuinely valuable to our clients. We're not here to simply file accounts or tick compliance boxes. We help ambitious businesses make smarter financial decisions, solve problems before they happen, and build for long-term growth.
As our Client Manager, you'll become the trusted adviser for a portfolio of businesses, working closely with our Partners to deliver exceptional client service while supporting and developing the wider team.
We're looking for someone who enjoys building relationships just as much as producing excellent technical work. You'll be organized, commercially minded, and confident taking ownership of your clients, while helping shape the future of a growing practice.
Whether you're an experienced Accounts Senior ready to take the next step or an established Client Manager looking for a fresh challenge, we'd love to meet you.
The Role:
You'll be responsible for managing your own team and client portfolio while delivering a high standard of accounting, tax, and advisory services.
