Hello, we’re Relative
We’re a growing independent practice in Huddersfield, and we like it here. We look after a genuinely varied bunch of owner-managed businesses, founders, freelancers and family firms, each one a bit different, none of them boring, and we’re after a Client Manager to take a portfolio under their wing.
We’re after someone to really take charge of this, not just keep the wheels turning. You’ll be the person your clients actually want to ring, the one who knows their business and spots the thing before it becomes a problem. We’re proud of who we are and how our clients see us, and we’d like that to rub off on whoever joins us next.
“They work with us on strategy and planning, not just sending us the accounts to sign.”
“They take a vested interest in our business and talk to us in a language we understand.”
What you’d actually be doing
- Looking after your own portfolio and being their go-to contact, the relationships are the best part of this job
- Preparing accounts, tax and working papers yourself, this is a hands-on role, not just a review seat, plus casting an eye over the team’s work
- Being one of our Xero people, we lean on good software (and the odd tool we’ve built ourselves) to spend less time on the boring bits and more on the clients
- Keeping VAT, P11Ds and tax returns on track and on time
- Noticing opportunities for clients and the firm, and being happy to say so
- Sharing what you know and picking up plenty in return, we’re collaborative and everyone learns from everyone
- Looking after tax within your portfolio and working closely with our payroll department, so clients get a single, joined-up service
You might be a good fit if
Where you’ve trained matters less than what you bring, solid practice experience and the confidence to run a portfolio are the things we look for:
- You’ve worked in UK practice (this one really does need that grounding)
- ACA, ACCA or AAT qualified, part-qualified, or qualified by experience, all genuinely welcome
- You know your way around UK accounts and tax compliance
- You’re comfortable in Xero (QuickBooks or TaxCalc a bonus) and not afraid of new tools
- You’re organised, you sweat the details, and you can juggle a portfolio without dropping anything
What’s in it for you
- £32,000 to £42,000 depending on experience and qualifications
- Flexible, hybrid working, we’ll sort a pattern that suits your life and fits the team
- Study support is something we’re happy to talk about if you’re still picking up letters after your name
- Room to grow as we do, this isn’t a dead-end seat
- A supportive, friendly team that’s genuinely good company, and a client list that keeps things interesting
- Pension scheme
- Medical insurance
- Car park at the office
