Corporate Services Manager - Exeter

Corporate Services Manager

Location: Exmouth (office-based with hybrid flexibility)
Type: Full-time | Permanent

We’re recruiting on behalf of a well-established and growing accountancy practice for a Corporate Services Manager to join their Exmouth office. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified accountant looking to step into a broader client-facing and supervisory role, or for an experienced Accounts Manager seeking a new challenge.

The Role

You’ll manage and advise a varied portfolio of clients, including sole traders, partnerships and limited companies, providing high-quality accounting, tax and advisory services.

Key responsibilities include:

• Planning and reviewing statutory accounts

• Managing budgets, workflow and deadlines across your portfolio

• Supporting, mentoring and reviewing the work of junior team members

• Acting as a key point of contact for clients and finalising accounts

• Preparing and reviewing management accounts

• Attending client meetings (both virtual and in person)

• Providing tax, dividend and general business planning advice

• Reviewing VAT returns prepared by clients or internal teams

• Reviewing personal and corporation tax returns and advising on liabilities

• Managing client billing and ongoing client relationships

• Delivering ad hoc advisory support as required

The Person

This role would suit someone looking to take the next step in practice, with increased responsibility and exposure to more complex client work, while still being supported in their development.

You will:

• Be fully qualified ACA or ACCA

• Have experience working within an accountancy practice

• Be confident in managing client relationships and deadlines

• Enjoy supporting and developing junior staff

• Have strong communication and organisational skills

Experience with Sage, Xero and QuickBooks is desirable, and exposure to Digita or CCH would be beneficial but not essential.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary (dependent on experience)

• Bonus structure

• Employer pension contributions (matched up to 5%)

• Minimum 22 days’ holiday plus bank holidays (increasing with service)

• Ongoing training and development support

• Flexible working options, including hybrid working

• A strong focus on wellbeing, social and life-event benefits
