Assistant Client Manager

Assistant Client Manager - Manchester - £45,000 - £55,000

I'm working on an exciting opportunity for an ACA/ACCA-qualified accountant who is ready to step beyond the traditional Senior Accountant role and take ownership of a portfolio, develop client relationships and lead a team.

The firm is a confidential progressive accountancy and business advisory firm
, with offices across the UK and a reputation for creating a genuinely supportive and people-focused working environment.

What particularly caught my attention about this role is the balance between client responsibility, leadership and culture
. You'll have the autonomy to manage your own portfolio while working closely with experienced Directors and colleagues across the wider business.

• Managing a varied portfolio of clients, including owner-managed businesses
• Acting as a trusted point of contact and becoming someone clients rely on for advice
• Overseeing the delivery of accounts and wider services
• Leading, coaching and developing members of the accounts team
• Working alongside Directors and other departments to deliver the best possible service
• Identifying opportunities to strengthen existing relationships and support business growth

This role would suit an ACA/ACCA-qualified Senior Accountant or Assistant Manager who is ready to take on more responsibility.

You'll ideally have:

• Strong experience within an accountancy practice
• Experience managing a varied client portfolio
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• The confidence to lead and support junior team members
• A commercial and client-focused mindset
• Experience working with owner-managed businesses
• Knowledge of CCH would be advantageous

This isn't an environment where progression is simply about moving up a job title. The firm places real emphasis on developing its people, giving individuals ownership and creating opportunities to broaden their experience
.

There's also a genuinely sociable culture, with regular team, wellbeing and community activities. The emphasis is on creating a workplace where people can perform at their best while enjoying the people they work alongside.

You'll also receive a strong benefits package including hybrid working, competitive salary, generous annual leave, learning and development support.

If you're currently a Senior Accountant or Assistant Manager and are looking for a role where you can broaden your responsibilities while working somewhere that genuinely values its people, I'd be keen to speak with you.
