Client Manager
Meet Our Recruiter
About the Role
If you're a confident Client Manager who loves variety, values long-term relationships, and wants to work somewhere that genuinely cares about your growth and wellbeing, this could be your next step.
You'll be joining a professional, supportive team in Shrewsbury, that believes in collaboration, trust, and doing things properly. This isn't a firm that just crunches numbers - it's one that takes pride in helping clients grow, while giving you the space to develop your career and manage your own portfolio with autonomy.
As a Client Manager, you will have plenty of client contact, the chance to influence how work is delivered, and the backing of a practice that invests heavily in its people through training, support, and flexible benefits. If you're looking to move away from rigid hierarchies and towards a firm that values its people as much as its clients, this is the opportunity for you.
Responsibilities:
- Manage your own portfolio of business and personal clients
- Oversee preparation and review of accounts, tax computations, and self-assessment returns
- Control engagements to meet client requirements, deadlines, and budgets
- Attend client meetings and build trusted relationships
- Monitor and manage team performance and workload
- Identify opportunities for additional client work and improvements
- Report to the Partner and ensure high professional standards are maintained
The likely candidate:
- Qualified or part-qualified accountant with proven client portfolio experience
- Strong knowledge of accountancy and tax principles
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
- Comfortable managing and developing junior staff
- Proactive, organised, and commercially aware
- Confident in managing workloads, deadlines, and client expectations
What's on Offer
- £40,000 to £50,000 salary
- 8% employer pension contributions
- 3x salary death-in-service cover
- Income protection for long-term illness
- Healthcare cash plan and employee rewards platform
- Up to 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Continuous learning, training, and CPD support
- A collaborative, friendly team culture with room to grow
