Client Manager - Tax & Business Advisory

You’re probably not looking for “just another accounting job.”

Neither are we.

We’re building a modern accounting and business advisory firm that partners with ambitious business owners to help them grow, make better decisions and build more valuable businesses.

We’re looking for a Client Manager who enjoys building genuine relationships with clients, solving problems, and making an impact beyond year-end compliance.

If you’re someone who loves helping business owners succeed, values autonomy, and wants to be part of a firm that’s doing things differently, we’d love to meet you.

Someone who’s technically solid, commercially minded, genuinely enjoys working with people and is excited by the idea of helping build something special.

This role is different.

You’ll still oversee compliance—but that’s not where the value stops.

You’ll work directly with business owners, lead conversations that matter, identify opportunities for growth and become the person clients call before making important decisions.

You’ll have the autonomy to manage your own client portfolio while working alongside a team that’s focused on innovation, collaboration and exceptional client service.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll become the trusted adviser for a portfolio of business clients, helping them navigate everything from tax and compliance to growth, profitability and strategic decisions.

Your role will include:

- Managing a diverse portfolio of business clients
- Reviewing financial statements, tax returns and compliance work
- Leading client meetings and building trusted relationships
- Providing proactive advice and identifying opportunities to add value throughout the year— not just at tax time
- Meeting with clients to discuss performance, strategy and future goals




- Mentoring and developing junior team members
- Working closely with the directors to improve systems, processes and client experience

About you

We’re less interested in ticking every box than finding someone who genuinely enjoys helping clients.

You’ll likely have:

- 5+ years’ experience in public practice
- CA qualification (or close to completion)
- Strong technical accounting and tax knowledge
- Enjoys talking with clients as much as preparing financial statements
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
- A proactive mindset and genuine curiosity about business
- The confidence to manage clients while collaborating with a supportive team
- Loves solving problems and finding better ways of doing things
- Takes ownership and doesn’t wait to be told what to do
- Wants to be part of a business that’s growing and evolving

Why you’ll love working with us

We’re intentionally building a different kind of accounting firm. We’re committed to creating a workplace where you can do your best work.

Here’s what you can expect:

- Above average salary on offer
- Interesting clients across a range of industries
- Working with ambitious business owners who value advice
- The opportunity to provide real business advice—not just compliance
- Modern technology and efficient systems
- Flexibility to work in a way that suits you
- A collaborative, down-to-earth team, where your ideas matter
- Ongoing learning and professional development
- Genuine opportunities to grow into a senior leadership role as the firm grow
- Birthday off work (paid leave)

We’re looking for someone who genuinely loves helping small businesses grow

We want someone who cares about clients, enjoys building relationships and is excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of our firm.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to have a confidential conversation.
