Full job descriptionClient Portfolio Manager (ACA / ACCA)Basingstoke | £60,000 to £70,000 | Hybrid Working
Some practice roles are built around timesheets.
This one is built around clients.
If you’re happiest acting as the trusted adviser rather than simply moving work from one deadline to the next, this could be exactly the sort of move you’ve been waiting for.
We’re working with a growing accountancy firm that’s continuing to invest in its people and client offering across the South. They’re looking for an experienced Client Portfolio Manager to inherit an established portfolio and become the first point of contact for businesses that value long-term advice just as much as technical delivery.
Based in Basingstoke, you’ll have the freedom to manage your clients in your own style while working alongside approachable Partners who are keen to support progression rather than micro-manage it.
What your week could look likeNo two days are identical, but you’ll typically be:
*Looking after a portfolio of limited companies, partnerships and owner-managed businesses
*Reviewing year-end accounts and corporation tax work before it reaches clients
*Helping business owners solve day-to-day financial and commercial challenges
*Planning workloads across your portfolio to keep deadlines under control
*Coaching junior members of the team and reviewing their work
*Building lasting client relationships that naturally generate additional advisory opportunities
*Working with a range of modern cloud accounting systems and practice software
You’ll probably suit this role if you*Hold ACA or ACCA qualifications
*Have built your career within UK practice
*Already manage your own portfolio with minimal supervision
*Enjoy speaking with clients rather than hiding behind spreadsheets
*Like helping junior staff develop
*Want a role where you’ll be trusted to make decisions
Previous exposure to agricultural or rural businesses would be useful but isn’t essential.
Why people joinRather than endless layers of hierarchy, you’ll find a business where good people are trusted, ideas are welcomed and progression is based on ability.
Alongside a salary of £60,000 to £70,000, you’ll benefit from hybrid working, flexible hours, generous annual leave, ongoing professional development, a strong wellbeing package and genuine long-term career opportunities.
