Looking for a better lifestyle without compromising your accounting career?

Our client is a well-established and highly regarded accounting firm based in Ashburton in the heart of Mid Canterbury. With a strong reputation for delivering practical accounting, advisory, and business support services to a loyal client base, the firm continues to grow and is now looking to appoint a Client Manager to join their team.

For the right person, our client is happy to support relocation to Ashburton, offering the opportunity to build a rewarding career while enjoying the benefits of living in a vibrant regional community – affordable housing, excellent schools, easy access to the outdoors, and a genuine work-life balance.

Working closely with the Directors, you will manage a portfolio of clients and play an important role in maintaining and developing long-term relationships.

Your work will include a mix of:

• Managing client relationships and providing ongoing advisory support
• Preparing and reviewing financial statements and tax returns
• Business and tax planning
• Reviewing work prepared by the accounting team
• Supporting the Directors in delivering high-quality client service

The firm works with clients across a wide range of sectors and prides itself on being a trusted advisor to local businesses. This role offers strong exposure to clients and the opportunity to add real value through understanding their businesses and helping them achieve their goals.

You may be someone who:

• Is currently operating at Senior Accountant or Client Manager level
• Enjoys client interaction and providing practical advice
• Is looking for greater responsibility and career progression
