JOB DESCRIPTION:

Strong organic growth, excellent remuneration and a dynamic and intelligent team define this highly reputable public practice firm. As a result of continued growth a new position has been created for a Senior Manager to join the team. Your focus will be in delivering outstanding client service to private companies and helping to develop your team of bright, enthusiastic professionals.

The majority of clients are in the $20 - $150 million revenue range. Being private companies they rarely require an audit and so most of the client assignments are reviews. You should be able to provide good, informative financial and business advice to your clients, they will look to you as both their accountant and trusted business advisor.

The vast majority of the Senior Management and Partnership team have young families and so work/life balance is excellent. Senior Managers do just 100 - 200 hours of overtime per year, and this can be either paid or taken off as vacation. The Senior Management team is made up equally by professionals who have come from the Big 4 and professionals who have been trained in smaller firms. This provides a great mix of technical knowledge and client understanding.

The office culture is down to earth and relaxed. There are regular office barbeques, golf trips and outings for those who are interested.

The Senior Manager should have the following skills and experience:

- A minimum of one year of experience at the Senior Manager level.
- Strong skills in leading assurance engagements for owner managed or private companies.
- Honest and friendly nature.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

Our client is a successful and long established public practice firm based in Vancouver.  The firm employs around 30 staff and has a strong focus on providing assurance and tax services to incorporated professionals.  Due to continued growth a new position has been created for a Senior Manager or Manager to join the team.

You will lead a group of around 100 clients, being their primary relationship manager.  Through your strong interpersonal skills you will continue to develop the client relationship.  As the client's go to person you will ensure client queries are properly answered; that informative added value business advice is given; and that the file is complete and accurate.

There is no requirement to perform business development as the business is already growing very healthily.  Your focus will be on lightening the load of the Partners by taking responsibility for a group of existing clients.  You will enjoy a great deal of autonomy. There is also the opportunity for ownership in the future.

As one of the most senior people within the office you will mentor and coach staff, helping them develop their skills and being there to provide guidance.  You will report directly to the Partners.

The vast majority of your clients will require NTRs.  Being professionals themselves the clients are good to work with.  They are straightforward and approachable in communications, and most often are running very successful businesses.  They tend to generate high net incomes and high cashflows, so good tax and financial planning is high on the agenda.

The right candidate will ideally possess four to eight years of post designation experience.  You will already have a wealth of experience in NTRs for small businesses.  You will be personable, responsible and professional - the three key factors in good client leadership.
