Description:
Are you an accountant tired of the traditional practice grind and ready to pivot into the exciting world of tech? Or are you an early-stage SaaS Customer Service Manager with exposure to finance and now looking for a role where you can own the customer lifecycle and make a measurable impact?
Our client is a fast-growing SaaS provider shaking up the accounting industry with innovative solutions helping their clients eliminate the manual bottlenecks that accounting teams hate.
As our clients new Customer Success Manager, you will be the ultimate trusted advisor for their accounting firm clients. This is a dynamic, high-impact hybrid role blending structured onboarding, proactive account management, and live training delivery.
As the Customer Success Manager our client is looking to 2 different profiles however both would come from an accounting background.
Profile A: The Transforming Accountant
You currently work in a UK accounting practice or industry role, but you are ready for a career change. You know UK accounting systems inside out, you understand the seasonal pressures firms face, and you are the "go-to" tech person in your current office who loves setting up software like Xero or QBO.
Profile B: The Ambitious Early-Stage Customer Service Manager
You have 1–2 years of experience in SaaS Account Management or Customer Success in an Accounting related tech firm. You love onboarding new clients, tracking health metrics, and driving retention, and you are looking for a step up where you can take full ownership of a portfolio.
As the Customer Success Manager, you will be responsible for:
• Seamless Onboarding: Lead new accounting firms through a structured implementation process, handles internal configuration, and ensure they achieve immediate, real-world value on the platform.
• Proactive Account Management: Own a portfolio of firm accounts. Monitor usage data, build custom "Success Plans," and step in proactively to mitigate churn risks and uncover expansion opportunities.

• Data-Driven Operation
As the Customer Success Manager, you will have:
• 1–2 years of experience in either UK Accounting/Practice OR SaaS Customer Success/Account Management.
• A strong, empathetic understanding of UK accounting workflows, compliance pressures, and deadlines.
• Outstanding communication skills—you must be comfortable commanding a room (or a Zoom call) and delivering clear training.
Highly Desirable:
• Hands-on experience with core accounting tech: Xero, QuickBooks Online (QBO), FreeAgent, or advanced Excel.
• Proven experience delivering webinars or training presentations to external clients.
• Exposure to cloud-based SaaS environments and client implementations.
What’s in it for You?
• 100% Remote Working: Work from anywhere in the UK with a flexible, autonomous environment.
• A Real Career Pivot: Transition seamlessly from accounting into tech with structured support and tool training (including Gainsight certification).
