About the Role
I am partnering with a respected and forward-thinking independent practice in Tonbridge to appoint an accomplished Client Manager. This is an outstanding opportunity for a qualified accountant with at least five years of Practice experience who is ready to take on a strategic leadership role within a highly regarded firm.
The successful candidate will oversee a diverse fee base, manage and develop a small team, and play an integral role in shaping the future growth of the client portfolio. Candidates with a particular strength in audit or tax will be especially welcomed, although a strong general practice background is equally valuable.
This position offers genuine autonomy, visibility within the leadership group and a platform to influence both client service and commercial direction.
Key Responsibilities
• Managing a mixed portfolio of clients, ensuring exceptional service delivery
• Leading, mentoring and developing a small team
• Overseeing accounts, tax and advisory work, with the opportunity to utilise an audit or tax specialism
• Taking a central role in business development, networking and portfolio growth
• Working closely with partners on client strategy, planning and operational improvements
About You
• Fully qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA or equivalent)
• Minimum five years of Practice experience
• Strong technical grounding, with audit or tax expertise considered highly advantageous
• Confident communicator with proven client-facing experience
• Leadership qualities with a desire to develop people and drive continual improvement
• Commercially minded and motivated to contribute to firm-wide growth
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious professional seeking a leadership role with genuine progression potential. If you are looking for a position where you can combine client management, technical expertise and strategic influence, I would welcome a confidential conversation.
For further details please do not hesitate to contact Robin in the 1st instance.
