Accounts Manager – Downham Market
Clark Wood is currently working with a growing and ambitious independent firm of chartered accountants who are seeking to recruit an experienced Accounts Senior or Accounts Manager for their Downham Market office.
Following a recent period of expansion, the firm is well-positioned for continued growth, offering an excellent opportunity for a driven and client-focused individual to play a key role in its ongoing success. This role may suit a recently qualified or post qualified professional; however, demonstrable experience within a similar client-facing position in practice is essential.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a progressive and highly regarded firm where you will work closely with the Directors, managing a diverse portfolio of clients including small to medium-sized limited companies, sole traders, and partnerships across a wide range of sectors. You will act as the primary point of contact for your clients, ensuring a high standard of service is delivered at all times.
In addition to managing your own portfolio, you will oversee and support junior staff, reviewing their work and assisting with their development.
