Job description

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.

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.

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.
