Bennett and Game Recruitment LTD
Wokingham, Berkshire
Job Profile for Client Manager Package: Competitive salary ( 45,000 - 55,000 dependent on experience), hybrid working options, comprehensive benefits package including Bupa, and more. Working Hours: Full-time, hybrid model (3 days office, 2 days from home). Location: Wokingham (near Reading) A new opening is available for an experienced, proactive Client Manager or Senior Client Director to join a premium, rapidly expanding accountancy practice. Our practice has been established for nearly 22 years, operating as a high-quality, boutique brand that focuses on building deep, premium relationships with fewer, higher-value clients rather than chasing volume. While we operate as a general practice, we hold a distinct and growing niche within the construction sector. As we scale our team of 14 from a 1m turnover to a targeted 3m over the next 5 to 8 years, we are looking for a highly communicative, "hands-on" professional. You will take full ownership of an established portfolio of approximately 80 client companies, ensuring exceptional customer service and clear, approachable advice. For the right senior candidate, there is also a clear pathway to a sub-grand position with future business ownership and localized leadership opportunities. Whether you are an established Client Manager or a Senior Director capable of driving commercial business advisory conversations, the focus is on your ability to work on your own initiative, deliver on time every time, and translate complex financial data into plain English for our clients. Client Manager Job Responsibilities Manage and review a growing portfolio of approximately 80 client companies, ensuring exceptional responsiveness and relationship building. Conduct thorough reviews of accounts and bookkeeping work completed by the production and outsourcing teams; this is a review and advisory role, not a data-entry or preparation role. Effectively manage all statutory deadlines across your portfolio, ensuring work is delivered accurately and punctually. Communicate financial results and advisory insights to clients clearly, ensuring they walk out the door fully understanding their position without accounting jargon. (Senior/Director Level) Lead high-level commercial business advisory conversations to help clients strategically scale their businesses. Support a collaborative, growing team environment, upholding the practice's core values of approachability, quality, and premium customer service. Client Manager Requirements Proven, dedicated experience working within a UK accountancy practice is essential. Experience managing a diverse client portfolio and multitasking workloads effectively. Strong technical eye for detail-you must know exactly what a "good" set of accounts looks like and how to spot errors. While a formal qualification (ACA/ACCA) is preferred, strong, relevant practice experience is valued above all else. Exceptional communication and commercial advisory skills, with a commitment to maintaining a premium, approachable brand image. Auditors need not apply; this role is strictly focused on practice accounting, review, and client management. Client Manager / Director Salary & Benefits Competitive salary of 45,000 - 55,000 (dependent on experience). Hybrid working model (3 days in the Wokingham office, 2 days working from home). Private healthcare options via Bupa. Standard company pension scheme. Regular team social events and outings. Local high-street office environment with dedicated parking. Bennett and Game Recruitment are a multi-disciplined technical recruitment agency based in Chichester, West Sussex operating across the UK with specialist teams covering a range of industries.
