We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established accountancy practice for an experienced Client Manager to take ownership of a select portfolio of high-value clients. This isn't a volume-driven SME compliance role; you'll be the day-to-day lead for 56 significant clients turning over circa £14 million, acting as their trusted advisor and main point of contact within the practice. This role suits someone who thrives on deep, high-touch relationships rather than juggling a large caseload, someone who can operate confidently in the boardroom, anticipate client needs before they're raised, and bring genuine commercial insight to every conversation.
What You'll Be Doing
- Managing end-to-end relationships for a focused portfolio of 56 higher-turnover clients (£1m-£4m), acting as their primary contact and trusted adviser.
- Overseeing the delivery of accounts, tax, and compliance work for your portfolio, reviewing output prepared by junior team members.
- Building deep commercial understanding of each client's business, sector, and goals, going beyond compliance to provide proactive, value-added advice.
- Leading client meetings and communications with confidence, including with owners, directors, and finance leads.
- Identifying opportunities to add value and cross-sell additional services across the practice.
- Ensuring an exceptional standard of client service, responsiveness, and technical accuracy at all times.
- Managing budgets, billing, and profitability for your client portfolio.
- Mentoring and reviewing the work of junior accountants supporting your clients.
What We're Looking For
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified.
- Proven experience managing higher-value clients (ideally £1m+ turnover) within a practice environment.
- Excellent client relationship management skills, comfortable operating at owner/director level.
- Strong technical accounting and tax knowledge, with sound commercial judgement.
- A proactive, advisory mindset rather than a purely compliance-driven approach.
- Confident, articulate communicator with excellent attention to detail.
- Ability to manage a smaller, higher-value portfolio with real ownership and accountability.
Why Apply
- Genuine autonomy over a focused, high-quality client portfolio.
- Fully remote working.
- The chance to build long-term, strategic relationships with substantial businesses, rather than high-volume SME work.
