Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Client Manager to join our Rural Team, supporting one of our Senior Rural Advisers with a diverse and growing portfolio of rural businesses.

What you’ll do:

• Manage your own portfolio within the team, delivering high-quality accountancy and tax services.
• Work closely with the Tax Team and Adviser to handle more complex tax advisory work, ensuring it meets deadlines and standards for senior review.
• Support the Adviser by preparing and managing non‑compliance work, easing the workload, and ensuring smooth delivery of client services.
• Oversee the preparation, execution, and sign‑off on accounts and tax work to ensure accuracy and compliance.
• Proactively identify opportunities to add value for both clients and the firm, collaborating with specialists across the business to meet clients’ needs.

You don’t need to be a tax expert, but some experience in tax is essential to help manage and prepare work for review by our Tax Team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled accountant who enjoys taking a hands‑on approach to client management while helping to streamline processes for senior advisers. A rural background is helpful but not essential—what matters most is your drive to deliver excellent service.

Working in a hybrid model with 3 days a week in the office, you’ll be part of a dynamic team helping to deliver expert accountancy services to some of our most valued clients.

Requirements

Already chartered, the ideal candidate will have a strong accountancy background along with experience in tax.

Furthermore, you should demonstrate excellent communication skills to build strong relationships with clients and colleagues. Experience in a similar role within a practice environment is essential, as well as the ability to manage multiple client accounts effectively.

We are looking for a self‑motivated individual who is dedicated to delivering exceptional client service and driving results.
