You've put the hard work in to qualify. Now you're asking the right question - what's next?
If you're a newly qualified Client Accountant who wants more than just another compliance-heavy role, this could be the move that really shifts your career forward. This opportunity is about visibility, influence, and being trusted with responsibility early on. It's a chance to step into a role where your opinion matters, your relationships count, and your development is taken seriously.
As a Client Accountant, you won't be hidden behind spreadsheets or limited to narrow tasks. You'll work closely with a varied client portfolio, lead assignments, and start shaping how work is delivered. There's genuine scope to grow into management, supported by a firm that believes in promoting from within and investing in people who show ambition.
If you enjoy combining technical work with client interaction, mentoring others, and thinking commercially about how to add value, this Client Accountant role offers a clear step up from where you are now - without sacrificing balance or culture.

Planning, delivering and completing accounts and audit assignments
Supervising and supporting junior team members on jobs
