Accounts Manager

Looking for an Accounts Manager opportunity where you can have a genuine influence on your clients, your team and the wider direction of a firm?

NXTGEN is delighted to once again be working with a well-established and highly regarded accountancy practice that I’ve had the pleasure of working with for a number of years. Due to continued growth, they’re now looking to add a Accounts Manager to their Accounts team – a key hire that will play an important role in supporting the continued development of both the team and the wider firm.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety that comes with a Manager-level position, but also wants to make a genuine difference. You’ll take responsibility for a portfolio of clients, build strong and trusted relationships, support and develop those around you and work closely with the Partners and wider management team.

There’s also a real opportunity to be visible within the local market, helping to identify and win new work, build relationships with local businesses and represent the firm at networking events and other external opportunities. So, if you enjoy getting out there, meeting people and being involved in the growth of a business, this could be a really good fit.

What will you be doing?

• Managing a varied portfolio of clients, acting as a trusted point of contact and taking the time to understand their businesses
• Overseeing the delivery of work and ensuring clients receive a consistently high level of service
• Supporting, coaching and developing Seniors, Assistant Managers and wider members of the team
• Getting involved in more complex and specialist work, alongside reviewing and overseeing work produced by the wider team
• Working closely with Partners and the management team to support the continued growth and development of the business
• Identifying opportunities to support clients with additional services and introducing them to other areas of the firm where appropriate
• Getting involved in proposals, tenders, networking and wider business development activity
• Acting as a mentor and sounding board for more junior members of the management team

Ideally, you’ll be...

ACA, ACCA or equivalent qualified, with solid experience gained within an accountancy practice and the confidence to take ownership of both your clients and your team.

More importantly, they’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with people. Someone who can build strong relationships with clients, communicate well, support and develop others and bring a practical, solutions-focused approach to their work.

What’s in it for you?

This is a role where you’ll have the opportunity to really make it your own. You’ll have the support of an established and experienced team around you, while having plenty of scope to build relationships, develop your own profile within the local market and play a genuine part in the continued growth of the firm.

You’ll also be joining a business that genuinely values its people, with flexibility, a good work-life balance and a supportive culture at the heart of what they do. There’s the opportunity to develop your career, broaden your commercial exposure and work closely with Partners, while still having the autonomy to build strong relationships with your own clients and team.

If you’re already working at Manager level and looking for your next challenge, or you’re an experienced Assistant Manager who feels ready to take that next step, I’d be really keen to have a chat and tell you a little more about the opportunity.
