Accounts Senior / Client Manager
A client-facing accountancy role with progression, personality and real variety.
Are you an Accountant who enjoys building relationships, explaining numbers clearly and helping clients make better business decisions?
Our client is looking for a Client Manager to join their award-winning accountancy practice in Croydon. This is a great opportunity for a part-qualified or fully qualified Accountant who wants more than a desk-based technical role. You’ll be trusted with your own client relationships, supported to keep developing, and encouraged to bring energy, confidence and personality to the role.
What you’ll gain:
* Salary of £35,000 to £50,000, depending on experience.
* Full-Time, Monday to Friday working pattern.
* Study support packages available, depending on where you are in your qualification journey.
* 20 days’ annual leave, rising to 25, plus bank holidays.
* Company pension scheme.
* Critical illness cover and life insurance.
* Regular company events and team activities.
* Employee mentoring and genuine career development.
* A supportive, sociable team that celebrates progress and success.
This is a firm where people are encouraged to grow. One team member joined as a trainee and has progressed to managing their own portfolio of clients, with the support and opportunities to build a career they are proud of.
What you’ll be doing:
* Managing and developing relationships with a portfolio of clients.
* Providing clear, practical advice that helps clients understand their numbers and make confident decisions.
* Supporting clients with tax planning, business growth and wider accountancy matters.
* Reviewing and supporting the work of junior team members.
* Using accounting software and Microsoft Office to deliver accurate, high-quality work.
* Acting as a trusted, approachable point of contact for clients.
What you’ll need:
* Part-qualified or fully qualified accountancy status, ideally ACCA or AAT.
* At least three years’ experience in an accountancy practice.
* Strong technical accounting knowledge.
* Confident communication skills and the ability to make financial information clear and engaging.
* A proactive approach and genuine interest in helping clients succeed.
* Good working knowledge of accounting software and Microsoft Office.
* Ability to reliably commute to Croydon, CR0 4NG or relocate before starting work.
* English language skills required for client communication.
This role would suit someone who is technically capable but also naturally confident with people.
Our client is looking for someone who can build rapport, hold engaging client conversations and bring a positive, personable approach to accountancy.
As part of the application, you’ll complete a short online recruitment process which takes approximately 10 minutes. It helps both you and our client understand whether the role, working style and opportunity are a strong mutual fit.
