Client Manager/Senior Accountant

Job description

Client Manager

APS Advisory | Accounting & Business Advisory

At APS Advisory, we believe great accounting is about more than compliance — it’s about clarity, relationships, and helping business owners make confident decisions.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a Client Manager who is both personable and technically strong, and who enjoys developing people as much as working with clients.

This role offers real responsibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to play a key part in both client delivery and the development of our team.

The Role

As a Client Manager, you’ll take ownership of a portfolio of business clients while also playing a central role in reviewing work, maintaining technical standards, and supporting the growth of our team.

You’ll act as a trusted point of contact for clients and a technical and professional reference point internally, working closely with directors across compliance and advisory matters.

Key Responsibilities

Client Management & Advisory

• Managing ongoing relationships with a portfolio of SME clients
• Reviewing and discussing accounts, tax returns, and management information with clients
• Providing clear, practical advice without unnecessary jargon
• Proactively identifying opportunities to improve outcomes for clients
• Supporting advisory engagements alongside senior team members

Internal Review & Quality Control

• Reviewing accounts, tax computations, and returns prepared by the team
• Ensuring work is technically accurate, compliant, and delivered on time
• Maintaining high standards of documentation and file quality
• Acting as a technical sounding board for the wider team

Team Development & Leadership

• Supporting and mentoring junior and mid-level team members
• Providing constructive feedback and guidance on technical and client matters
• Assisting with training and development within the team
• Contributing positively to APS’s collaborative and supportive culture

About You

You’re confident, approachable, and detail-focused, with a genuine interest in helping both clients and colleagues succeed.

You’ll likely have:

• ACA or ACCA qualification (CTA an advantage but not essential)
• Strong experience within UK public practice
• Solid technical knowledge across accounts and UK tax
• Experience reviewing work and supporting team development
• Excellent communication skills and a calm, professional manner
• A proactive mindset and strong sense of ownership

Why APS Advisory?

• A growing advisory-led firm with engaged, high-quality clients
• A collaborative team that values professionalism, personality, and integrity
• Real involvement in advisory work — not just compliance
• Opportunities to influence processes and develop leadership skills
• Flexible working and a supportive working environment
• If you’re looking for a role where you can combine client-facing work with technical leadership and people development — and be part of a firm that genuinely values quality and relationships — we’d love to hear from you.
