ABOUT THE ROLE
The Lead Client Success Specialist ensures clients move smoothly through onboarding, stay on track with required tasks, understand each step of their bookkeeping/tax process, and feel guided throughout their engagement with the firm.
This role supplements the Project Manager by handling all client-facing communication, client education, gentle task chasing, deadline preparation, and coordination of calls and bookings with the Lead Financial Consultant. You are the “client guide” — keeping them accountable, informed, and supported so the CEO and PM can focus on strategic work and internal operations.
