Business Development Executive – Accountancy Firm
📍 East Manchester | £25,000 + up to £18,000 commission | Full-time
We're working with an owner operated accountancy practice who've grown organically over the last 14 years. We’re looking for someone driven, persuasive, and full of energy to help us connect with the thousands of contractors and self-employed professionals who need what we do best.
💡 Who We Are
Our client specialises in accountancy services for contractors, freelancers, and small businesses across the UK. They’re not your typical accountants — they combine sharp financial expertise with a genuine understanding of what modern professionals need to succeed.
From limited company setups to ongoing tax and compliance advice, they offer a hassle-free, fully digital experience — but their true value is in how we communicate. They believe in being proactive, transparent, and always one step ahead for their clients.
Having grown through word of mouth, reputation, and results, they're now ready to scale. That’s where you come in.
📞 The Role: Business Development Executive
You’ll be the driving force behind our new business activity — the first impression, the connector, the closer. We need someone who can get out there, spark interest, and ultimately, bring new clients on board.
Key Responsibilities:
Make a high volume of outbound calls daily to connect with prospective clients (primarily contractors and self-employed professionals).
*
Use LinkedIn and other channels to generate and qualify leads.
*
Book and conduct intro calls to pitch our client's services.
*
Attend networking events and industry meetups to grow our brand presence.
*
Work alongside the marketing team to align campaigns and messaging.
*
Maintain a strong and organised pipeline of opportunities.
*
Meet and exceed monthly lead generation and conversion targets.
This isn’t a passive role — you’ll need to own your outreach and drive the sales process forward.
🙋♀️ Who We’re Looking For
We want someone hungry to make an impact and confident working in a fast-paced, people-focused environment.
You’ll ideally have:
*
1–2 years of experience in sales or business development.
*
A background in recruitment, telesales, or similar high-volume outbound roles (a plus, not a must).
*
A proven ability to hit targets and close deals.
*
Excellent communication skills — both spoken and written.
*
The confidence to build rapport with anyone and lead conversations organically.
*
A proactive approach — you don’t wait to be told what to do; you make things happen.
💷 What You’ll Get
*
£25,000 base salary
*
Up to £18,000 commission annually if targets are met
*
A clear progression path in a growing business
*
Supportive and down-to-earth team culture
If you’re someone who thrives on winning business, loves a good phone call, and wants to grow with a modern, forward-thinking firm — we’d love to hear from you.
