Client and Accounts Manager

Job description

Camino Search are excited to be partnering with a fast-growing, independent accountancy practice in East Sussex that works closely with owner-managed businesses and entrepreneurs across a broad range of sectors. The firm has grown quickly by being commercial, relationship-led and proactive, rather than purely compliance-driven. As client demand continues to increase, the business is now looking to strengthen its senior client-facing team with the appointment of an experienced Client Manager.

As Client Manager, you’ll act as the trusted day-to-day contact for a portfolio of SME clients, sitting between the delivery team and the director and playing a key role in the firm’s next phase of growth.

Key responsibilities include:

• Owning and managing a portfolio of SME clients
• Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts, corporation tax, VAT, CIS and personal tax
• Producing and explaining monthly and quarterly management accounts
• Reviewing bookkeeping quality and working with cloud-based systems (Xero-led)
• Supporting and mentoring junior team members and contributing to process improvements

The Ideal Profile:

• ACA or ACCA qualified
• Accountancy practice background
• Confident across accounts, tax and management accounts
• Comfortable working with Xero, QuickBooks and IRIS
• Organised, reliable and confident communicating directly with clients
• Happy with 5 days in office

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Long-term commission linked to clients personally introduced, with a clear progression plan
• Supportive, collaborative culture with strong systems and workflows
• Parking, laptop and mobile provided immediately
• Longer-term potential for a 4-day working week for sustained high performers

We cannot give feedback to all applicants as much as we wish we could. If you haven't heard from us within 72 hours, you are not suitable for this particular role, but we may reach out in due course for any other suitable positions.
