Butler Rose are delighted to be working with a growing independent accountancy and advisory firm who are looking to recruit a Senior Client Adviser for their Leeds office. This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward-thinking firm with a strong advisory focus, a growing presence in Yorkshire, and a genuine commitment to creating a supportive, collaborative and progressive working environment. The Leeds office is based in modern serviced offices in LS16 and currently operates as a satellite office to the firm's main practice. The business has ambitious growth plans and is looking for the right person to play a key role in developing long-term relationships with a portfolio of owner-managed business clients. THE OPPORTUNITY This is not a traditional accounts production or compliance role. It is a highly commercial, client-facing advisory position where you will act as a trusted adviser to business owners. You will manage a portfolio of 30+ owner-managed businesses, typically with turnovers between £1m and £15m, helping clients understand how their business is performing, what decisions need to be made and how to improve profitability, cash flow, growth and long-term value. Your time will be spent in client conversations, quarterly meetings and strategic discussions, rather than preparing accounts, filing tax returns or completing compliance work.
