Client Manager

If you're a confident Client Manager who loves variety, values long-term relationships, and wants to work somewhere that genuinely cares about your growth and wellbeing, this could be your next step.

You'll be joining a professional, supportive team in Shrewsbury, that believes in collaboration, trust, and doing things properly. This isn't a firm that just crunches numbers - it's one that takes pride in helping clients grow, while giving you the space to develop your career and manage your own portfolio with autonomy.

As a Client Manager, you will have plenty of client contact, the chance to influence how work is delivered, and the backing of a practice that invests heavily in its people through training, support, and flexible benefits. If you're looking to move away from rigid hierarchies and towards a firm that values its people as much as its clients, this is the opportunity for you.

Manage your own portfolio of business and personal clients
Oversee preparation and review of accounts, tax computations, and self-assessment returns
Control engagements to meet client requirements, deadlines, and budgets
Attend client meetings and build trusted relationships
Monitor and manage team performance and workload
Identify opportunities for additional client work and improvements
Report to the Partner and ensure high professional standards are maintained
The likely candidate:

Qualified or part-qualified accountant with proven client portfolio experience
Strong knowledge of accountancy and tax principles
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
Comfortable managing and developing junior staff
Proactive, organised, and commercially aware
Confident in managing workloads, deadlines, and client expectations
