- Well established advisory services practice
- Clear pathway to partnership
- Diverse range of clients to manage
An established, locally owned Chartered Accounting and Business Advisory firm is seeking a Senior Client Manager (CA qualified) as part of a planned succession and future partnership strategy. This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious accounting professional that wants more than a management role and is actively seeking a long-term career pathway into firm leadership and ownership.
The Role
You will take responsibility for a well-established client portfolio while working closely with the partners on advisory, client strategy, and the ongoing development of the practice. The role is designed to evolve over time into a broader leadership position, aligned with progression toward partnership.
Key responsibilities include:
- Managing and developing a portfolio of commercial (and some rural) clients
- Delivering accounting, tax compliance and business advisory services
- Acting as a trusted advisor to business owners and key stakeholders
- Reviewing work and mentoring intermediate and senior staff
- Identifying growth and value-add opportunities within the client base
- Contributing to leadership, succession and strategic planning initiatives
About You
- Chartered Accountant (CA) qualification is essential
- Proven experience managing clients in a public practice environment
- Strong technical capability across accounting and tax
- Commercial mind set with an interest in advisory and client growth
- Leadership capability and confidence working directly with partners
- Motivated by long-term career progression and future partnership
Why Consider This Opportunity
- Genuine, defined pathway to partnership as part of an active succession plan
- Early exposure to firm leadership and decision-making
- Opportunity to build long-term equity and influence
- Stable client base and respected local reputation
- Supportive, professional and relationship-focused culture
This role will particularly appeal to a Manager or Senior Manager who is ready to step into a leadership track and wants clarity around future ownership, not just a title change.
