Audit and Accounts Client Manager

Audit Client Manager, with a genuine route to RI and Director

Shropshire based or largely remote Full-time Circa £50,000 to £70,000, depending on experience and ambition ACA or ACCA qualified

If you're an audit manager who's ready to lead, and you can picture yourself becoming a Responsible Individual and then a Director, this is a firm that will actually get you there.

The company

• An established, independent firm of Chartered Accountants with offices in Shrewsbury and Telford, and a strong name across Shropshire and the wider region.
• Around 90 people. Big enough for varied, interesting work, small enough that you're a person and not a number.
• Values-led and genuinely people-first, with a culture built on doing the right thing and helping each other grow.
• Growing, and investing in its audit team, which is exactly why this role exists.

The role

• Lead audits end to end, owning your assignments from planning through to completion.
• Take on a varied portfolio of owner-managed businesses across a real mix of sectors, including some larger, meatier clients.
• Be the trusted point of contact your clients actually call, building relationships that last.
• Supervise, mentor and review the seniors and trainees, and bring the next generation on.
• Work closely with the Partners on technical matters and on growing the client base.
• Reporting to the Audit Manager, with the room and the backing to step up.

What's on offer

• Circa £50,000 to £70,000, with the top of that range there for someone ready to work towards RI.
• A mapped-out path to Responsible Individual status and on to Director, with real support to get there.
• Genuinely flexible working. Remote is real here, not a token gesture, with one of the directors already working largely from another county.
• Generous holiday, pension, life cover and a health cash plan.
• Full professional and study support, and proper investment in your development.

What makes it great

• Progression that's real, not a line on a job spec. If you want RI and Director, there's a genuine gap at the top to grow into.
• You'll work with the Partners from the start, not three rungs below them.
• A varied client base that keeps the work interesting.
• A firm that's growing and wants you to grow with it.
• Flexibility that lets you do your best work without giving up your life.
