Client Accountant

Client Accountant - Grimsby - Up to £36,653

Chase & Holland are proud to be supporting a growing, independent accountancy practice in the Grimsby area, working with businesses across Lincolnshire and the Humber region. Combining long-standing expertise with the latest cloud‑based software and technology, they take a proactive, modern approach to client service.

The business offers a culture that is relaxed yet professional, with a strong focus on career development, collaboration and delivering real value to owner‑managed businesses. This is not a traditional accounts manager position. As a Client Accountant, you will manage your own portfolio while working closely with your Pod team to deliver proactive advice and ongoing support throughout the financial year, not just at year‑end.

You will build strong client relationships, oversee service delivery and help clients improve and grow their businesses.
