Client Manager

Client Manager

£50,000

Annual Bonus

Manchester City Centre Hybrid

This is a high-impact role for an experienced practice accountant who enjoys combining client ownership, technical review and developing others - with genuine scope to broaden into deal support as the firm continues to grow.

You'll join a firm of chartered accountants with a strong reputation in the Manchester market and work closely with the Director and Senior Manager within a 20-person division - taking a lead role across a key client portfolio and helping shape how the department scales.

What makes this role different

• Advisory exposure: support on sales and acquisitions, liaising with solicitors, lenders and other advisers
• Leadership & progression: step into a visible role within the senior team for this division, with clear headroom to take on more responsibility over time
• Build the management accounts function: currently under utilised you will help standardise delivery, improve process, and (as it grows) support recruitment into the team

The role

You'll oversee a team and lead day-to-day delivery and quality through review, while remaining hands-on with a core group of clients - including leading meetings and debriefs.

Core duties

• Review work produced by juniors/semi-seniors, identify gaps, coach and raise standards
• Own client relationships on a defined portfolio (with focus on key clients)
• Deliver accounts from draft to final, including preparation for and leading client meetings
• Improve systems and processes across the team, particularly around management accounts delivery

About you

• Current/recent experience in a UK accountancy practice environment
• Ideally ACA/ACCA qualified, although strong QBE candidates are welcomed (study support available for those part-qualified/late stage)
• Confident in client meetings and comfortable taking ownership
• Motivated by progression, improving how a team operates, and getting involved in broader advisory work
