Job Description
NXTGEN is delighted to be partnering with a highly regarded Chartered Accountancy practice in Norwich to recruit a Client Manager. This Client Manager role presents an excellent opportunity to join a progressive and growing firm, where you will take ownership of a diverse client portfolio while playing a pivotal role in delivering high-quality financial reporting and month-end accounting services. As a Client Manager, you will work closely with Partners and senior stakeholders, positioning yourself as a trusted advisor to clients while supporting the continued growth of the practice.
This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced practice professional who enjoys a balance of client interaction, technical accounting, and team leadership. You will oversee the delivery of month-end accounting processes across your portfolio, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and value-added insight for clients.
Key Responsibilities:
- Oversee and manage a portfolio of clients, acting as the primary point of contact for all accounting and advisory matters
- Take full responsibility for month-end accounting processes across multiple clients, ensuring timely and accurate reporting
- Prepare and review management accounts, providing meaningful financial insights to support client decision-making
- Review statutory accounts in line with current accounting standards
- Ensure VAT returns and other compliance requirements are completed accurately and on time
- Build and maintain strong client relationships, identifying opportunities to add value and enhance service delivery
- Lead, mentor, and develop junior and part-qualified team members, fostering a high-performing team culture
- Support Partners with workflow management, resourcing, and continuous process improvements
We are seeking a qualified ACA or ACCA professional (or equivalent experience) with a strong background within an accountancy practice. You will have proven experience managing a client portfolio and overseeing month-end accounting processes, alongside excellent technical accounting knowledge and the ability to prepare and review management accounts. Strong systems experience, including Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and Excel, is essential. You will also bring well-developed leadership and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build lasting client relationships while supporting and developing junior members of the team. This role is also suited to Assistant Managers too, not just Managers or Senior Managers. The firm is flexible and will build the role around the right person, ensuring the position plays to your strengths and career ambitions.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a Client Manager looking to join a firm that genuinely values its people and clients. If you're seeking a role where you can make a real impact, take ownership of your portfolio, and contribute to the continued success of a growing practice, we'd love to hear from you.
