Job Description:
Client Manager
£50,000
Annual Bonus
Manchester City Centre | Hybrid
At this level, many roles are heavily compliance/production-led. This one is different.
You’ll join a firm 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.
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.
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
