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.

HARP is South Essex's leading homelessness charity and a Registered Social Landlord. Founded in 2002, we support more than 1,000 people each year who are homeless, rough sleeping, vulnerably housed, or at risk of losing their accommodation. On any given night we provide accommodation for over 320 people, and our Bradbury Day Centre operates 365 days a year, offering practical support that helps people move from crisis towards stability and long-term independence. Over the past few years HARP has grown significantly in scale and complexity. Alongside our core mission, we have strengthened our housing pathway, broadened our partnerships, and developed a more mature approach to governance, assurance and regulation. We are coming to the end of our current five-year strategy and are taking stock: consolidating progress, strengthening sustainability, and shaping what comes next. To support this next phase, we are recruiting five new Trustees, including an Honorary Treasurer. Several long-serving trustees are approaching the end of their terms, and we want to bring in new voices, new skills and new perspectives. You do not need to have been a trustee before. What matters most is sound judgement, a willingness to engage, and a clear commitment to the people HARP exists for. The roles Trustee Trustees play a central role in how HARP is governed and held to account. As a member of the Board, you will help set strategic direction, safeguard the charity's purpose and reputation, and ensure strong oversight of performance, risk, quality and financial stewardship. Trustees also contribute through committee work, where detailed governance happens between Board meetings. Honorary Treasurer (Trustee) The Treasurer is a trustee with particular responsibility for HARP's financial health. You will work closely with the Chief Executive and Executive Director of Finance, chair the Finance Committee, help the Board understand the numbers and make good decisions, and ensure strong controls, risk management and transparent reporting. As HARP is regulated both as a charity and as a Registered Social Landlord, the Treasurer plays an important role in evidencing financial viability and value for money. What you will do As a Trustee, you will: Attend and contribute at Board and committee meetings, reading papers, asking good questions and bringing your experience to bear. Help set direction and keep a clear line of sight between strategy, delivery and impact. Support and challenge constructively, helping HARP make good decisions, manage risk well, and stay ambitious but realistic. Safeguard purpose and integrity, ensuring HARP meets the standards expected by our regulators, funders and stakeholders. Act as an ambassador, representing HARP with credibility and warmth in the community and with partners. As Treasurer, you will also: Provide financial leadership at Board level, guiding budgets, forecasts, accounts, reserves, liquidity and audit. Champion strong financial controls, assurance and risk, including oversight of key financial policies and governance. Support major investment and property decisions, helping the Board understand implications and trade-offs. Chair the Finance Committee and report clearly to the wider Board. Who we are looking for We are looking for people who are thoughtful, grounded and motivated by HARP's mission. You will: Think strategically, while taking stewardship and accountability seriously. Listen well, analyse issues carefully, and contribute with independence and integrity. Be comfortable offering both encouragement and challenge, with respect and good judgement. Bring a collaborative mindset, and an interest in the lived experience of homelessness and multiple disadvantage. We are committed to building a Board that reflects the diversity of the communities HARP serves. We particularly welcome interest from people who have been underrepresented on charity boards, and from those with lived experience of homelessness, housing insecurity, or the issues that intersect with them. Areas of focus in this recruitment round We are seeking five appointments across the following profiles: 1.Honorary Treasurer Qualified accountant or equivalent senior financial leadership experience. Experience in regulated environments is particularly relevant, including social housing or charities. 2. Trustee, Housing and Registered Provider governance Senior experience in registered provider governance, asset management, housing regulation, investment, or development. 3. Trustee, Commercial / Retail / Social enterprise Someone excited by income generation and social enterprise, with leadership experience in retail, hospitality, commercial growth or building a mission-led business. 4. Trustee, System leadership (health, commissioning, homelessness) Senior experience across health, public health, integrated care, commissioning, or system-wide partnership work, with insight into complex needs and joined-up services. 5. Trustee, Cause-led / creative ("wild card") A visionary, values-driven thinker who brings a different lens, creativity and energy, and is excited by what HARP could become. Time commitment and term Trustee: approximately 6-12 days per year, including preparation. Honorary Treasurer: approximately 12-15 days per year. Term: three years, renewable (maximum nine). These roles are voluntary and unremunerated. Reasonable expenses are reimbursed. Whilst the preference is that board meetings are attended in-person, they can be attended virtually Why now This is a practical, hands-on opportunity to join a charity with real scale, strong services, and a clear sense of purpose, at a point where good governance and clear thinking will shape what happens next. If you can bring judgement, curiosity and commitment, and you want to contribute to an organisation that exists to help people move from crisis to recovery, we would be very pleased to hear from you. Closing date: Midnight on Thursday 18th June To apply: To apply, please submit an up-to-date copy of your CV (three sides of A4 maximum), along with a supporting statement (three sides of A4 maximum) detailing your experience, and achievements and addressing the key criteria for the role set out on this site and using examples to demonstrate how you meet the requirements.
