Client Accountant in Birmingham

Overview

Mitchell Adam are delighted to be partnering with a highly regarded professional services business in Birmingham, who are looking to appoint a Client Accountant to join their growing team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an accountant who enjoys working closely with clients and wants a role where the numbers are only part of the job.

You'll have real ownership of a portfolio, regular client contact and the opportunity to become a trusted point of reference for the financial performance of the businesses you support.

Rather than simply producing reports and moving on to the next set of accounts, you'll work through the full picture with your clients.

You'll prepare management accounts, P&L and balance sheet reporting, analyse variances and performance, and then take the time to walk clients through what the numbers actually mean.

You'll be expected to ask questions, understand the underlying drivers and provide a level of insight that makes the reporting genuinely useful.

The role would suit someone from practice, outsourced finance or an established client accounting environment who wants to take their client relationships to the next level.

You'll work alongside an experienced team, gain exposure to a varied portfolio and have plenty of opportunity to develop both technically and commercially.

For someone who enjoys variety, responsibility and building strong professional relationships, this is a particularly strong client-facing finance opportunity.

Skills Needed

• Experience producing management accounts, including P&L, balance sheet and variance analysis.
• Experience within practice, outsourced finance or client accounting would be highly advantageous.
• Confident presenting financial information and talking clients through performance and key movements.
• Strong Excel skills with the ability to analyse data and produce clear, meaningful reporting.
• ACCA/CIMA part-qualified, finalist or qualified, with a genuine interest in developing within client-facing finance.
• What You Will Receive
• Ownership of a varied portfolio of clients, with genuine responsibility for their financial reporting.
• Regular exposure to senior clients, giving you the opportunity to build strong commercial and relationship management skills.
• A role that combines technical accounting, analysis and client interaction rather than focusing purely on production.
• Excellent support, mentoring and long-term development within a highly regarded professional services environment.
• The opportunity to build a career within a business where strong client relationships and quality of work are genuinely valued.
• Summary

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Client Accountant who wants to be more than the person who simply produces the accounts.

If you enjoy understanding a client's business, explaining performance and building relationships around the numbers, this role offers the platform to develop into a genuinely trusted finance partner.
