Accountant / Client Manager (Sports Sector)

Accountant / Client Manager (Sports Sector)

Location: Fully Remote (UK)
Salary: £40-50K

Synergy Personnel Services is delighted to be recruiting on behalf of a highly respected and specialist accountancy practice that has built an outstanding reputation within the sports industry.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualified Accountant / Client Manager who is looking for something a little different. If you’re passionate about sport and enjoy building long-term relationships with clients, this role offers the chance to work with a portfolio almost exclusively within the sporting world while enjoying the flexibility of a fully remote position.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of your own portfolio of clients, becoming their trusted adviser and managing their accounting and tax affairs from start to finish. The position is heavily relationship-focused, giving you the opportunity to provide proactive advice while ensuring clients receive an exceptional level of service.

Around 90% of your client portfolio will be within the sports sector, making this an exciting opportunity for someone who genuinely understands and shares a passion for sport.

Responsibilities

• Managing your own portfolio of clients.
• Preparing and reviewing statutory accounts.
• Managing personal and corporate tax matters.
• Providing proactive advice and support to clients.
• Building strong, long-term client relationships.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues across the business.
• Delivering a high-quality client experience in a fully remote environment.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

• ACA or ACCA qualified (or equivalent), with at least 2-3 years’ post-qualified experience.
• Experienced in managing a portfolio of clients within an accountancy practice.
• Strong technically across both accounts and tax.
• An excellent communicator who enjoys developing client relationships.
• Highly organised and able to manage their workload independently.
• Comfortable working remotely with a professional home office setup.

A Genuine Passion for Sport

This is an essential part of the role.

Our client works almost exclusively with individuals and organisations across the sporting industry, so we’re looking for someone who has a genuine sporting background or deep involvement in sport. This could be through competing, coaching, officiating, working within a sporting organisation or a long-standing involvement in a particular sport. A casual interest alone is unlikely to be enough.

What’s on Offer?

• Fully remote working from anywhere in the UK.
• Flexible working arrangements.
• The opportunity to work with an exciting portfolio of sports clients.
• A collaborative and supportive team culture.
• Long-term career development within a growing specialist practice.
• A genuinely different role where your passion for sport can become part of your career.

If you’re an experienced Accountant or Client Manager looking to combine your professional expertise with your passion for sport, we’d love to hear from you.
