Fast growth is exciting. It's also where client work can quietly start to slip through the cracks. This firm isn't slowing down. They're growing aggressively through acquisition, which means more clients, more complexity, and a genuine need for someone who can hold the technical standard together while leading a team that's scaling with them.
You'll be leading a team of four and taking ownership of a portfolio of clients across a broad range of accounting work. This isn't a process management job - it's a proper client-facing, technically led position where you're the person clients trust and the team looks to for direction. With acquisitions continuing, there's a real opportunity to grow into something more senior. The firm wants someone who's thinking about where they want to be in three to five years, not just what's on their desk today.
What you'll be doing as Senior Accounts Manager:
- Managing and reviewing client work across the team, maintaining technical quality and meeting deadlines
- Acting as the main point of contact for a portfolio of clients, building strong relationships and handling more complex queries
- Leading, developing, and supporting four accounting professionals day to day
- Reviewing work before it goes out and taking responsibility for standards across your team
- Playing an active part in onboarding clients acquired through the firm's growth programme
- Working closely with the leadership team as the firm continues to expand
What fits:
- ACA or ACCA qualified, with solid experience in an accountancy practice environment
- Used to managing or mentoring junior staff and taking accountability for the team's output
- Client-facing and confident - people trust your judgement and feel well looked after
- Commercially aware and able to see the bigger picture as the business grows
- Someone who thrives in a bit of pace rather than being unsettled by it
The package:
- Performance-related bonus
- Share scheme with longer-term upside
- Monday to Friday
- Real progression opportunity as the firm continues to grow through acquisition
Most firms at this stage of growth are scrambling to find people who can keep the client work tight while everything else moves fast. If that kind of environment suits you, this is worth a conversation.
