NXTGEN are proud to be representing a highly respected accountancy firm locally who have a rare opportunity for someone to step into a newly created Accounts Manager position in their Diss office, where this role will quite literally be built around the right person.
Having worked with this firm for several years, I can confidently say this is an exciting time to join as an Accounts Manager. The office is entering a new phase of growth and development, with a clear ambition to strengthen its presence locally and align more closely with their other offices. This is far more than a traditional Accounts Manager role. You will take ownership of a diverse and interesting client portfolio, while also playing a key part in driving the office forward and growing its presence in the local market. You will be actively involved in business development, networking, and raising the profile of both the firm and the services the team delivers. Alongside this, you will support the development of the wider team through reviewing work, mentoring, and helping to build confidence and capability across all levels.
This is the perfect opportunity for someone who wants more influence, more variety, and more opportunity to make a visible impact, rather than being just another manager in the system. Whether you are an experienced Assistant Manager ready for the next step, a newly promoted Manager looking for something more dynamic, or an established Manager wanting a role where you can genuinely make your mark, this could be a fantastic next step.
Key Responsibilities:
- Take ownership of a varied and complex portfolio of clients, delivering high-quality accounts, tax and advisory services
- Act as a key point of contact for clients, building strong and trusted relationships
- Review work produced by the team, providing clear feedback and supporting technical development
- Lead, support and mentor junior and developing staff to build a high-performing, confident team
- Get actively involved in business development activities, networking and identifying new opportunities
- Play a key role in raising the firm's profile and strengthening its brand presence in the local market
- Contribute ideas and influence change as the office grows and evolves
What We're Looking For:
- ACA or ACCA qualified or equivalent
- Strong background in practice, with experience managing a portfolio of clients
- Proven experience in supervising, reviewing and supporting the development of junior staff
- Confident and comfortable with client interaction and relationship building
- A proactive mindset with an interest in business development and networking
This role would suit someone who is commercially minded, people focused, and excited by the idea of shaping something rather than simply maintaining it. This firm also offers a high level of flexibility, autonomy, a clear path for progression, and benefits that genuinely stand out in the market.
Salary is dependent on experience. Please contact Annie at NXTGEN for more information.
