Client Manager

For our recently established Malta office, Sheltons Group is looking to recruit an experienced Client Manager with excellent development opportunities, ideal for the experienced manager looking for new challenges in an international environment.

Job Role: 
As a Client Manager you would have responsibility for a portfolio of international clients. You would be responsible for ensuring that all accounting and legal requirements are complied with as well as arranging for legal, accounting and tax advice etc. in collaboration with in-house or external advisors. Visiting our clients abroad and developing new business would also be part of the job. If you are ambitious and want to play a leading role in an international team, you may be our new Client Manager.

The Job:
We are seeking a Manager with a good accounting background to manage an existing portfolio of already content international clients. After a brief induction period in our office in Copenhagen you would be responsible for forming and maintaining Maltese entities, arranging for legal, accounting and tax advice etc. in collaboration with in-house or external advisors, ensuring that all accounting and legal requirements are complied with and for delivering services in a timely and professional manner. Your role would also include ensuring the delivery of accurate management accounts, annual accounts and tax returns as well as assisting clients with the preparation and filing of the VAT returns. You will have considerable contact with your international clients’ representatives as well as with banks, accounting firms and law firms around the world. In time you will also be expected to assist with developing new business, and to manage, support and motivate your own team.

Your Profile:
You have worked at least four years in accounting or commercial law, preferably within an accounting firm. It is however perfectly acceptable if all your experience has been gained working outside Malta. You have a relevant theoretical background and are familiar with related legal and financial terms and concepts. Experience in working in areas such as international corporate taxation or European VAT would be considered an asset. You also have a good knowledge of general office software such as Word, Excel and Outlook as well as experience using at least one accounting program. Knowledge of Xero accounting software would be favourably considered. As you would be dealing with clients from all over the world a strong command of the English language is necessary, as well as a highly developed ability to articulate views, verbally and in written form. Knowledge of foreign languages such as Italian, German, French or Spanish would be an asset. You have good analytical skills and are a logical thinker and have the ability to find practical solutions to challenging tasks. You have strong personal drive and a
competitive spirit. You are result-orientated and are good at prioritising your tasks. You enjoy building and developing relationships and working in a dynamic team where the spirit of “everybody helps out” is deeply entrenched.

Unique opportunity:
If you enjoy an international environment and have a flair for English language then this is the position for you. After an introductory period you can expect an independent position with the opportunity to use and broaden your skills as well as to develop a global network of contacts. You will be trained, not only on the job but also via attending external courses and conferences. As a Client Manager you also have the opportunity to travel abroad. The right person will have the prospect to become a Senior Manager and possibly a partner in due course.
