At the moment, too much sits with the partner. Not because they want it that way. Because they haven't had someone they can truly hand things over to. Client relationships. Final decisions. The kind of work that needs experience and confidence. They're looking for someone who can step in and take that weight properly . Someone who can own a portfolio, deal with clients directly, and free the partner up to focus on growth instead of review queues. That's the real brief. Why this isn't just another manager role Some firms sell progression. This one quietly builds it. You're not stepping into a machine that measures you by how many returns you push through. You're stepping into a team that: Trusts its people to manage their own clients Values judgement over process for the sake of it Lets managers actually be managers And importantly, it's still independent. No outside investors. No pressure to hit artificial growth targets. No sudden shifts in direction because someone external decided margins matter more than people. Decisions stay close to the work. Which changes everything. What the work feels like day to day You're not waiting until the end of a job to review it. You're in it early. Talking to clients. Spotting opportunities. Shaping the work as it develops. The client base is long standing.

Which means:

Conversations are easier Trust already exists Advisory work happens naturally, not forced It's the kind of setup where tax becomes more interesting over time, not repetitive. What you'd actually be doing Owning a portfolio and being the person clients rely on Reviewing complex work without being buried in it Supporting junior staff and helping them improve properly Making decisions, not just escalating them Playing a part in how the team operates, not just fitting into it The part most firms undersell Let's talk about what your life actually looks like here. Because that's usually the deciding factor. Time off that feels like time off 3 to 4 weeks vacation depending on where you are in your career Increases with tenure Proper structure around it so you can actually take it After busy season, things ease off properly Friday afternoons back Not as a gimmick. As a reset Benefits that cover real life Healthcare, dental, vision Long term support if things don't go to plan Additional options if you want to tailor things The environment you're walking into Two offices. Not a corporate sprawl.

A team where:

People join early and stay Some have been there decades Knowledge is shared, not protected It's family oriented without forcing the word "family" into every sentence. More importantly, it's stable. No revolving door. No constant restructuring. Just a well run firm that knows what it is and has no interest in becoming something it's not. Who this tends to suit Someone who's ready to step up, but doesn't want to lose themselves in the process. You'll probably recognise yourself here: You want to lead, not just review You enjoy working directly with clients You're tired of environments that feel like a race with no finish line You want progression, but not at the cost of everything else For a lot of people, this move feels like stepping out of the noise, not into more of it. Where it leads Yes, Senior Manager is the next step.

But more importantly:

You become trusted. By clients. By leadership. By the team around you. And that kind of position tends to create options, not just promotions. Not ready with a resume? Or want a bit more information before applying? That's fine. Apply the old-fashioned way, or simply reach out to me on LinkedIn or through the Distinct Recruitment website. I'll happily talk you through the role, the firm, and where it could take you before you make any commitments. I'm Abigail Stephen, Recruiter at Distinct. I don't just look at job specs; I look at people, and where they'll thrive. It's not about filling gaps. It's about finding a fit that lasts. Outside of work, balance for me is Pilates to reset, travel to explore, and skiing to recharge. Because the truth is, you don't slog through hours for the love of a spreadsheet. You do it for the freedom it buys you. Same principle here.
