Ready for the next step in your accountancy career?

If you’re a qualified accountant who enjoys building client relationships, leading people, and making a genuine impact, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
We’re working with a highly successful and rapidly growing accountancy and business advisory firm that is investing heavily in its people, technology, and future leaders. Unlike many traditional practices, this firm combines ambitious growth plans with a genuine commitment to employee wellbeing, development, and flexibility.


This is an ideal move for:
*A Senior Accountant ready to step into management.
*An Assistant Manager looking for a stronger culture and clearer progression.
*A qualified accountant who feels they’ve outgrown their current firm and wants more responsibility, autonomy, and recognition.



The Opportunity

As an Assistant Client Manager, you’ll take ownership of a varied portfolio of owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurs, and growing companies, becoming a trusted adviser and key point of contact.
You’ll work closely with senior leadership while also developing and mentoring team members, giving you exposure to both client management and people leadership.
You’ll have the freedom to build meaningful client relationships, influence service delivery, and contribute to the continued growth of the firm.




Your role will include:

Managing your own portfolio of clients across a range of industries
Building trusted, long-term client relationships
Reviewing accounts and overseeing high-quality delivery of client work
Supporting and mentoring junior team members
Working alongside Directors and senior leaders on client strategy
Identifying opportunities to add value and improve client outcomes
Contributing to business development and client retention initiatives
Playing a key role in a collaborative and ambitious management team



What We’re Looking For

You’ll be someone who enjoys working closely with clients and takes pride in delivering exceptional service.




You’ll ideally have:

*ACA or ACCA qualification
*Experience within UK accountancy practice
*Previous experience as a Senior Accountant, Client Manager or Assistant Manager
*Exposure to owner-managed businesses and SME clients
*Strong communication and relationship-building skills
*A proactive mindset and desire to develop others
*A passion for delivering great client experiences
Most importantly, you’ll be someone who wants to continue growing your career within a modern, people-focused practice.



Why Join?

Many firms talk about culture. This one genuinely invests in it.
You’ll be joining a business that believes great client service starts with great people, offering a supportive environment where career progression is encouraged and achievements are recognised.


Benefits include:

*Competitive salary package
*Flexible hybrid working
*Generous holiday allowance
*Additional day off for your birthday
*Volunteer day each year
*Tailored learning and development programmes
*Fully funded professional study support
*Company pension scheme
*Health and wellbeing initiatives
*Mental health support services
*Active social, wellbeing and community events calendar
*Clear progression opportunities as the business continues to grow



Looking for Something Better?

If you’ve reached the point where:
*Your progression has stalled,
*Your contributions aren’t being recognised,
*You’re carrying responsibility without the title or reward,
*Or you simply want to work somewhere that values people as much as profits...
This could be the career move you’ve been waiting for.
Join a firm where you’ll be trusted, supported, challenged, and given the opportunity to build a career you can genuinely be proud of.
