Manager – Business Advisory & Accounting (Public Practice)

About the Firm

My client, a growing Business Advisory & Accounting firm, is looking for their next Manager and I want to be upfront: this isn't a compliance-and-forget role. If that's what you're picturing, keep scrolling.

My client backs people as much as they back businesses. Their advisors don't just do the numbers they help business owners make the big calls with more confidence, more clarity, and more time back in their lives. Real support, honest advice, and a team that shows up when the pressure's on.

They're now looking for someone to lead a Client Delivery Pod and take ownership of a $1m+ portfolio.

The Role

You'll own the client relationships, the advisory conversations, and the commercial performance of a reliable portfolio. You'll be the person clients call when they're wrestling with a decision - not just when tax time rolls around.

You'll be responsible for:

Owning and leading client relationships across a $1m+ portfolio

Running advisory conversations that actually move the needle - strategy, performance, decision-making

Translating the numbers into insight clients can act on

Spotting opportunities to do more for clients, and converting them

Leading, coaching and developing your Associate Advisor,



Senior Accountant and wider Pod

Owning the commercial engine of your portfolio - pricing, scope, WIP, profitability

Keeping quality and risk tight, with final sign-off across advisory and compliance work

You'll get real autonomy here, backed by a firm that gives you room to lead and the support to do it well.

What My Client Is Looking For

Runs on the board managing a client portfolio and leading advisory engagements

Experience reviewing and signing off complex compliance work

A track record of developing people, not just managing them

Strong commercial instincts - you understand revenue, recovery, WIP and what actually drives profitability

The ability to sit across from a business owner and simplify the complicated

Why I Think This One's Worth a Look

$130,000 - $170,000 + Super - genuinely competitive, reflecting the seniority of the role

A portfolio and a Pod that's yours to shape, not inherit and maintain

A clear runway to Associate Director for the right person

A culture that means it when it says "we take our work seriously, not ourselves"

Real investment in your development, not just your billables

I can't name the firm at this stage, but I'm happy to share more on a confidential call before you commit to anything.
