A high-growth, forward-thinking accountancy and advisory firm is looking to appoint an experienced Client Services Manager / Accounts Manager to take ownership of a key portfolio and play a central role in the firm’s continued expansion.

This is not a "steady-state" manager role — it’s suited to someone who wants influence, autonomy, and a clear route towards Senior Manager / Director.

The Role
You’ll operate as a senior point of contact for a portfolio of established, owner-managed businesses — combining technical delivery with genuine commercial advisory.

Key responsibilities:

*Owning and developing a high-value client portfolio
*Acting as a trusted advisor to clients on business performance, growth and strategy
*Leading client meetings and delivering a high-quality, proactive service
*Reviewing accounts, overseeing delivery and ensuring technical excellence
*Managing workflow and driving efficiency across your portfolio
*Leading, mentoring and developing a team of junior and mid-level staff
*Supporting Partners with growth initiatives and identifying new business opportunities

What They’re Looking For
*ACA / ACCA qualified
*Proven experience operating at Manager level within practice
*Strong background working with owner-managed businesses
*Commercial mindset — comfortable moving beyond compliance into advisory
*Experience managing and developing a team
*Confident communicator who can build credibility quickly with clients

Why This Role Stands Out
*Clear progression route to Senior Manager / Director
*A genuine opportunity to influence clients and internal strategy
*High level of autonomy — manage your portfolio your way
*Modern, ambitious firm investing heavily in growth
*Strong leadership team with a clear vision
*Competitive salary + bonus structure
*Excellent benefits package and supportive culture

This is ideal for a Manager who feels they’ve hit a ceiling — or wants a more commercially focused role where they can genuinely add value beyond year-end work.
