Job description

Looking for stability, progression and a firm where your contribution is genuinely recognised?

Perhaps your current firm is going through change. Maybe there's been a restructure, leadership transition, acquisition, or you're finding your career progression has stalled and you’re ready for a role with greater influence, autonomy and a clear path towards senior leadership.

Reed Practice is delighted to be working with an independent, highly respected and long-established accountancy practice with an outstanding reputation built over many decades. Due to continued growth and succession planning, they are now seeking an experienced Senior Client Accounts Manager to join their collaborative and forward-thinking team.

Why this job?

You'll be joining a firm that combines the professionalism and technical standards of larger practices with the supportive, personable culture often missing elsewhere.

Led by Partners whose experience spans Top 10 firms, independent practices and industry, the business has created an environment where people are trusted, developed and encouraged to succeed. They can offer you a long-term career with a genuine stepping stone to a senior leadership post.

The role:

This is more than a portfolio management role. It's an opportunity to join a successful, growing firm where your expertise will be valued, your ideas listened to, and your career supported.

As Senior Client Accounts Manager, you'll take ownership of a varied portfolio of clients while acting as a key technical leader within the team. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Building and developing trusted client relationships
  • Acting as the primary point of contact for client queries and advisory support
  • Oversee the preparation of vital client services such as statutory accounts, corporate and self-assessment tax returns, VAT returns, and PAYE undertaken by team members
  • Supporting and mentoring junior team members
  • Ensuring work is delivered accurately and efficiently to agreed deadlines
  • Providing commercial and technical advice to clients as their businesses grow

We'd love to hear from those who are:

  • ACA, ACCA or AAT qualified with a career developed within an accountancy practice environment
  • Comfortable reviewing work and supporting the development of junior staff
  • Strong technically across accounts, VAT and tax compliance to be able to review effectively.
  • Experienced with cloud accounting platforms such as Xero and QuickBooks
  • Commercially minded and proactive in their approach
  • Confident communicators who enjoy building long-term client relationships
  • Looking to make a meaningful impact within a growing firm

What's in it for you

  • A supportive, collaborative and low-ego culture
  • A manageable and well-maintained client portfolio
  • Direct exposure to experienced Partners and decision makers
  • Ongoing professional development and mentoring
  • A clear route towards senior leadership for ambitious individuals
  • The opportunity to influence and help shape the future of the firm
  • Competitive salary tailored to your experience and expertise

Contact Natalie Harden at Reed Practice for a confidential discussion.

"Sometimes the right move isn't about leaving where you are, it's about moving towards the opportunity your current firm can no longer offer."
