Senior Client Manager (Accountancy Practice)Sheffield | £55,000 - £60,000
Fast growth is exciting. It’s also where client work can quietly start to slip through the cracks.
This firm isn’t slowing down. They’re growing aggressively through acquisition, which means more clients, more complexity, and a genuine need for someone who can hold the technical standard together while leading a team that’s scaling with them.
The Senior Client Manager role
You’ll be leading a team of four and taking ownership of a portfolio of clients across a broad range of accounting work. This isn’t a process management job - it’s a proper client-facing, technically led position where you’re the person clients trust and the team looks to for direction.
With acquisitions continuing, there’s a real opportunity to grow into something more senior. The firm wants someone who’s thinking about where they want to be in three to five years, not just what’s on their desk today.
