About this role
This is a rare and genuinely exciting opportunity for an ambitious accounting professional looking for considerably more than their next job.
Our client is an established, highly successful and cash-rich accountancy practice entering an exciting new phase of growth. Backed by significant investment and an ambitious five-year growth strategy, the firm is looking to appoint a Portfolio Manager who can develop alongside the business and play an important role in its future.
The Opportunity
You will take responsibility for your own portfolio of clients, building strong commercial relationships while overseeing the delivery of a high-quality accounting and advisory service.
This is not a role where progression is dependent upon somebody above you leaving.
There is no predetermined ceiling on career progression, and individuals who demonstrate the ability, ambition and commercial awareness to progress will be given the opportunity to do so.
Alongside a competitive basic salary, the position offers an attractive commission and incentive structure, providing genuine scope to significantly increase overall earnings through performance and portfolio development.
The Role

Managing and developing a portfolio of owner-managed businesses and SME clientsActing as a key point of contact and trusted adviser to clientsReviewing accounts and work prepared by members of the teamIdentifying opportunities to provide additional services and supportDeveloping existing client relationshipsSupporting and mentoring junior members of the teamWorking closely with senior management and PartnersContributing to the continued growth and development of the practice
You:
We are interested in speaking with ambitious individuals currently operating at Senior, Assistant Manager, Client Manager or Portfolio Manager level who feel ready to accelerate their career.
ACA/ACCA qualification would be advantageous, although attitude, client-management ability, commercial awareness and ambition will be equally important.
Why This opportunity ?
The attraction here is the combination of career progression and earning potential.
You will be joining a financially strong business with the resources and appetite to grow significantly over the coming years. As the practice expands, the intention is to create opportunities for the people within it rather than continually recruiting above them.
For somebody ambitious, commercially minded and frustrated by a lack of progression in their current firm, this represents an opportunity to join a business at the beginning of an exciting period of expansion rather than after the growth has already happened.
Competitive basic salary + commission/incentive scheme + exceptional long-term career progression.
