Job description

Accounts Assistant Manager

A forward-thinking and purpose-led professional services firm is seeking a seasoned, people-centric Business Advisory Assistant Manager to join its dynamic and expanding team. Rooted in a clear and compelling mission, empowering others to succeed, this business is redefining the role of financial advisory. Whether supporting clients or nurturing colleagues, it is committed to unlocking potential, fostering innovation, and delivering enduring value through expert insight and genuine collaboration. This is not a place for traditional number crunching; instead, financial data is transformed into strategic intelligence that drives smarter decisions and meaningful outcomes. They are now looking for a trusted advisor who embodies this ethos—someone who excels in building relationships, leading with empathy, and creating measurable impact for businesses.

Overview

As an Assistant Manager, you'll oversee a varied portfolio of clients, offering strategic guidance, reviewing financial reports, and identifying opportunities to add value. You'll also play a key role in mentoring junior staff and contributing to process improvement across the department. You'll be a visible and proactive leader within the team—bringing insight, direction, and clarity to client engagements while supporting the growth and development of both people and processes.

Responsibilities

• Managing day-to-day client relationships and recognising when to escalate issues or proactively develop solutions.
• Overseeing the preparation and review of statutory accounts and management reports.
• Translating financial data into actionable insights for clients.
• Coaching, mentoring and developing junior team members.
• Identifying opportunities to deliver additional value to clients.
• Ensuring high technical standards in both client work and internal processes.

Candidate Profile

• Professionally qualified (e.g. ACA, ACCA) or qualified by experience.
• An excellent communicator who can clearly articulate financial insights.
• Organised and adept at managing multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Collaborative, empathetic, and passionate about developing others.
• Motivated by purpose, with a continuous improvement mindset.
• Capable of working autonomously and supervising junior team members.

The Offer

This is a highly flexible role within a fully dynamic working environment. Team members are trusted to work in the way that suits them best, whether remotely, in the office, or a blend of both.
