Ready for a role where you can do more than just prepare accounts?

We're working exclusively with an established, independent accountancy practice in Dunstable to find an experienced Senior Client Manager to join their team.

This is a varied role combining technical accounts and tax work with client relationships, business advice and the opportunity to help develop a growing practice.

The practice works with a diverse range of clients, from established businesses to smaller owner-managed companies and individuals. They are looking for someone who enjoys getting to know their clients, understanding how their businesses work and becoming someone they can genuinely rely on for advice and support.

You'll be trusted to take ownership of your client relationships and technical work, rather than simply passing figures across a desk.

What will you be doing?

• Managing a varied portfolio of clients, acting as their main point of contact.

• Reviewing, preparing and finalising statutory year-end accounts for limited companies, sole traders and partnerships.

• Calculating and reviewing corporation tax and personal tax liabilities, ensuring clients are making the most of available tax efficiencies.

• Discussing accounts and tax positions directly with clients, explaining the figures and advising on potential opportunities.

• Helping clients resolve financial, accounting and business-related queries.

• Identifying practical solutions and taking a proactive approach to supporting clients with their businesses.

• Managing deadlines and ensuring accounts and tax returns are completed and submitted accurately and on time.

• Building relationships with existing clients and helping develop new business opportunities.

• Supporting colleagues and sharing your technical knowledge and experience.

What are we looking for?

You'll have experience working within an accountancy practice and be confident managing accounts and tax work from start to finish.

Just as importantly, you'll enjoy the people side of accountancy. You're approachable, commercially aware and interested in the businesses behind the numbers.

We're looking for someone who:

• Is AAT Level 4 qualified as a minimum, or part-qualified ACCA/CIMA.

• Has strong experience preparing and reviewing statutory accounts.

• Has a good working knowledge of corporation tax and personal tax.

• Can confidently deal with clients and explain financial matters in a straightforward way.

• Enjoys problem-solving and finding solutions rather than simply processing information.

• Has the confidence to build relationships, develop existing accounts and identify new opportunities.

• Is positive, proactive and takes pride in delivering a great service.

Why consider this opportunity?

This is an opportunity to join an established local practice where your contribution will genuinely matter.

You'll have the chance to build strong relationships with clients, take ownership of your work and play an active part in the future development of the practice.

The business is open to considering both full-time and part-time hours for the right person, so there is flexibility around the working arrangement.

If you're an experienced practice accountant who enjoys combining technical expertise with client interaction and business advice, we'd love to hear from you.
