Description:
Client Manager
Hailsham, East Sussex | £50,000 to £70,000 depending on experience
If you're a qualified accountant who's tired of audit swallowing your week, this one's worth a proper look.
About the firm
A well-established independent practice in East Sussex with a strong corporate team and a client base that punches well above the average high-street firm. Clients here are owner-managed businesses with turnovers from £2m up to £100m, so the work is varied, involved and genuinely interesting.
The role
This is real client management, not a compliance treadmill. You'll take ownership of larger assignments and become a trusted point of contact for clients and directors. Day to day:
Running company accounts and statutory work across your portfolio
Preparing management accounts, cash flow forecasts and ad hoc pieces
Handling corporation tax and higher-level computations, including CT600s
Supporting the partners through due diligence on sales and acquisitions
Advising clients on their accounting systems and training their teams where needed
Audit as part of the mix rather than the whole job, capped at around 35 to 40%
Who this will suit
You'll be ACA or ACCA qualified with solid practice experience and the confidence to lead client relationships. You like variety, you enjoy getting properly stuck in with clients, and you want somewhere you can grow rather than plateau.
What's on offer
A varied, high-level portfolio from day one
Close working relationships with the directors on meatier work
For the right person, a genuine long-term route towards partnership
A capable, supportive team around you
