We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today’s changing world.

We work with the companies that are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy - and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.

We’ll broaden your horizons

The Business Services and Outsourcing team are essential to meeting our clients' evolving requirements. As well as delivering long-term, sustainable value to businesses by providing a range of solutions such as accounting, payroll and compliance services, they also play a key role in tying together many of our services across BDO both domestically and internationally. By building deep and meaningful relationships with a range of clients from ambitious entrepreneurial SMEs to large multi-national groups, our BS&O team don’t just advise on their specific business challenges, they open doors for other teams to provide our firm’s wider service offering. To succeed in this agile environment, you’ll need to demonstrate excellent problem-solving skills and initiative. In return, you’ll have the opportunity for progression, and the chance to develop in one of the industry’s most exciting and varied roles.

We’ll help you succeed

Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships.

You’ll be someone who is both comfortable working proactively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and BDO’s partners to help businesses effectively. You’ll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to organisations we work with.

Role Overview

We are looking for a technically minded Corporate Reporting Advisory Manager specialising in sustainability reporting to join our Professional Practice team. As a specialist in this area, you will have a strong knowledge and understanding of sustainability and climate-related regulations, frameworks and standards (including ISSB, GRI, CSRD), and you will play a key role in advising and supporting our clients as they seek to implement those and develop or enhance their sustainability reporting. You will also have the opportunity to play a critical role in developing our ESG-reporting outsourcing capabilities further by supporting the implementation of leading technology solutions for our clients. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a strong background in corporate and sustainability reporting, and a desire to develop our service offering further whilst working on a growing and varied portfolio of interesting clients amongst a dynamic and growing team.

You’ll be someone with:

• A degree in a relevant field such as Environmental Science, Sustainability, or a related field.
• Professional qualifications such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent.
• Additional certifications in sustainability reporting or related areas are highly desirable.
• Experience in corporate reporting, with a strong focus on sustainability reporting.
• Proven track record of advising clients on sustainability reporting standards and frameworks.
• Experience in preparing and reviewing sustainability reports.
• Strong understanding of regulatory requirements and best practices in sustainability reporting.
• Experience working in a professional practice environment, preferably within a Big Four or mid-tier firm.
• Demonstrated ability to manage client relationships and deliver exceptional client service.
• Experience in leading and managing projects, including coordinating cross-functional teams.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.

These qualifications and experience will ensure you have the expertise needed to excel in this role and provide valuable insights and support to clients.

You’ll be able to be yourself; we’ll recognise and value you for who you are and celebrate and reward your contributions to the business. We’re committed to agile working, and we offer every colleague the opportunity to work in ways that suit you, your teams, and the task at hand.
