Your New Company

We are working with a well-established and growing accountancy practice in North Wales that is seeking a Client Manager to join their close-knit team. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA) or an experienced QBE who can hit the ground running and take ownership of their own portfolio of clients. The firm prides itself on building strong relationships and delivering a high level of service, so this role is ideal for someone who is client-focused and proactive.

Your New Role

As Client Manager you will be responsible for managing a portfolio that includes sole traders, partnerships, and medium-sized companies. You will act as the main point of contact for your clients, providing advice and support while ensuring compliance and deadlines are met. Your duties will include:

  • Preparing and reviewing year-end accounts and tax returns
  • Overseeing VAT and bookkeeping requirements
  • Conducting client meetings to deliver clear and professional communication
  • Managing workflow within your portfolio
  • Delegating tasks to junior team members where appropriate
  • Contributing to the growth of the practice by identifying opportunities and supporting new client onboarding

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
