Tired of practice roles where you're stuck behind a desk doing compliance work with no client contact? At Rise Accounting, you'll be the direct point of contact for ambitious, venture-backed founders — shaping their finance function, not just filing their accounts.

We've grown 275% in the last 12 months, adding 30-40 clients every month. Part of Rise Group, we support 1,500+ startups and SMEs across Formation, Accounting, Tax, and Advisory. We're a fully cloud-based practice, working across Xero, Quick Books, Fathom, Dext, and Apron — no paper, no legacy systems holding you back.

We're hiring a Client Manager to own a portfolio of venture-backed and SME clients and lead a team of 3-4 Junior/Semi-Senior Accountants. You'll:

• Liaise and manage a portfolio of clients directly.
• Review Year End Accounts, VAT returns, and Payroll.
• Deliver Advisory value through management accounts, forecasts, and investment board packs.
• Identify Fin Ops improvements and cross-sell Outsourced Finance Function, EIS/SEIS, and EMI Option Scheme services.
• Build direct relationships with founders and CEOs.

You bring
: ACCA Qualified or ACCA Student qualified by experience (essential), previous practice experience (essential), strong multi-deadline management, and ideally Xero/Quick Books exposure.

What you'll get
:

• 25 days annual leave plus Christmas-to-New Year office shutdown
• Vitality Medical Insurance after probation
• ACCA exam fee support
• 2 weeks work-from-abroad allowance per year
• Clear progression path to Semi-Senior and Senior Client Manager

If you want real client ownership, fast progression, and a firm that's actually growing — not just saying it is — we want to hear from you.
