Practice / Client Manager
Location: Manchester
Salary: £45,000-£55,000 + potential investment opportunity
Job Type: Permanent, Full-Time
The Opportunity
This is a genuinely unusual opportunity to join a well-established boutique accountancy practice with a loyal, long-standing client base and play a key role in its next phase of growth.
As Practice / Client Manager, you'll take ownership of a varied portfolio, overseeing statutory accounts and a broad range of tax work while becoming increasingly involved in the operational and strategic direction of the business.
For the right person, this is much more than a management position. There is a clear pathway to invest in the firm and ultimately take ownership within around two years, making this an exciting opportunity for someone with genuine entrepreneurial ambition.
What You'll Be Doing
- Overseeing the preparation and review of statutory accounts for a well-established client portfolio.
- Managing corporate, personal and inheritance tax matters, ensuring deadlines and compliance requirements are consistently met.
- Acting as a trusted point of contact for clients, providing practical accounting and tax guidance.
- Managing workflow across the practice, ensuring work is appropriately allocated, prioritised and delivered on time.
- Supporting and developing junior members of the team where required.
- Working closely with the current leadership team on business planning and the future strategic direction of the practice.
- Identifying opportunities to improve processes, efficiency and the overall client experience.
- Gradually taking greater responsibility for the day-to-day running and commercial performance of the business.
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.
What We're Looking For
- You'll ideally be ACA or ACCA qualified, although strong practice experience and the right commercial mindset will also be considered.
- More importantly, you'll be highly organised, confident managing multiple priorities and comfortable taking ownership rather than simply completing tasks.
- You should have strong experience across statutory accounts and taxation, including corporate and personal tax. Exposure to inheritance tax would be particularly useful.
- The successful candidate is likely to be commercially aware, client-focused and ambitious enough to see themselves eventually running a practice of their own.

What's On Offer

- The opportunity to join a respected boutique accountancy practice with a long-established client base.
- Genuine influence over the future direction of the business.
- Significant autonomy and increasing responsibility.
- A potential route to investment and ownership within approximately two years.
- The chance to build on an established platform rather than starting from scratch.
- A role designed for someone who wants their career to develop into something considerably more entrepreneurial.
- Based in Manchester, this is an opportunity for an experienced practice professional to step beyond the traditional client manager role and become a key figure in the future of the firm.
If you're an ambitious accountant looking for a genuine route towards ownership, this Practice / Client Manager position is worth a confidential conversation.
