Job Description
Join one of Essex’s most forward-thinking independent accountancy firms, a modern, ambitious business where your ideas matter and your career is genuinely your own to shape.
This is not a corporate machine where you’re just a number. Here, you’ll be part of the strategic running of the business, working closely with the Partners to help drive growth, innovation, and client success.
If you want a role where you’ll be valued, listened to, and offered limitless progression then this is it.
The Role
As Client Manager, you’ll take full responsibility for a diverse portfolio of SME and owner-managed clients, delivering top-tier compliance and advisory services. You’ll manage and mentor junior staff, liaise directly with clients, and contribute to wider business decisions.
Key responsibilities:
* Manage and develop your own portfolio of clients across varied industries.
* Oversee preparation of accounts, management reports, and tax returns.
* Deliver proactive advice on business strategy, growth, and tax efficiency.
* Review work of junior team members and support their progression.
* Collaborate with Partners on firm-wide projects and business development initiatives.
About You
* ACA or ACCA qualified (or finalist).
* Experienced in managing client relationships within a practice environment.
* Strong communicator with commercial awareness and genuine client care.
* Driven, ambitious, and keen to be part of a firm where your efforts directly shape its success.
What’s in it for You
* No limits to progression – real opportunity to grow into Senior Manager or Director.
* A voice in how the firm is run — be part of strategy, not just delivery.
* Supportive, close-knit team and modern, forward-thinking culture.
* Competitive salary, discretionary bonus, and strong benefits package.
* Modern office in Wickford, with flexibility and great local parking.
