A high-growth, forward-thinking accountancy and advisory firm is looking to appoint an experienced Client Services Manager / Accounts Manager to take ownership of a key portfolio and play a central role in the firm’s continued expansion. This is not a “steady-state” manager role — it’s suited to someone who wants influence, autonomy, and a clear route towards Senior Manager / Director.The RoleYou’ll operate as a senior point of contact for a portfolio of established, owner-managed businesses — combining technical delivery with genuine commercial advisory. Key responsibilities:

• Owning and developing a high-value client portfolio
• Acting as a trusted advisor to clients on business performance, growth and strategy
• Leading client meetings and delivering a high-quality, proactive service
• Reviewing accounts, overseeing delivery and ensuring technical excellence
• Managing workflow and driving efficiency across your portfolio
• Leading, mentoring and developing a team of junior and mid-level staff
• Supporting Partners with growth initiatives and identifying new business opportunities

What They’re Looking For

• ACA / ACCA qualified
• Proven experience operating at Manager level within practice
• Strong background working with owner-managed businesses
• Commercial mindset — comfortable moving beyond compliance into advisory
• Experience managing and developing a team
• Confident communicator who can build credibility quickly with clients

Why This Role Stands Out

• Clear progression route to Senior Manager / Director
• A genuine opportunity to influence clients and internal strategy
• High level of autonomy — manage your portfolio your way
• Modern, ambitious firm investing heavily in growth
• Strong leadership team with a clear vision
• Competitive salary + bonus structure
• Excellent benefits package and supportive culture

This is ideal for a Manager who feels they’ve hit a ceiling — or wants a more commercially focused role where they can genuinely add value beyond year-end work.
