Client Manager - Senior Accountant

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, and conducting client meetings to deliver clear and professional communication. You will also manage workflow within your portfolio, delegate tasks to junior team members where appropriate, and contribute to the growth of the practice by identifying opportunities and supporting new client onboarding. Audit experience would be highly advantageous, as you may be involved in planning and executing audits for relevant clients.
What You Will Need to Succeed
You will need to be ACA/ACCA qualified or QBE with strong practice experience. You should have the ability to manage your own portfolio independently, demonstrate excellent communication skills, and adopt a relationship-driven approach to client service. Audit experience is desirable but not essential.
What You Will Get in Return
The firm offers a competitive salary and a supportive working environment. You will be joining a structured team of eight, including two Directors, with plans for growth and client expansion, making this a fantastic opportunity to develop your career within a progressive and caring employer.
