Job description

We’re looking for an ambitious individual who is hungry to take on more than day-to-day portfolio work. This role is perfect for someone ready to step into a trusted-advisor position, work directly with clients, and gain broad exposure across digital finance, tax-adjacent advisory work, and SME/OMB consultancy. You’ll report to a Partner or Director and have responsibility for leading and coaching a small team of trainees.

You’ll work in a tech-focused, agile team, supporting a growing and varied portfolio, getting involved in client meetings, strategic projects, and taking advantage of development opportunities across the wider firm.

There will be lots to get involved with in this role, but examples of what you’ll be working on are:

• Acting as a trusted advisor to clients, providing proactive finance support and insights
• Working across a varied SME/OMB client base
• Supporting and leading client meetings, bringing a clear, consultative approach
• Delivering tech-focused finance work using cloud systems and automation tools
• Contributing to wider tax or digital development projects
• Working closely with senior managers and advisors in a smaller, agile team

We can consider full-time or part-time hours for this role; the minimum hours will be 22.5 per week, and we’re flexible on how that looks – whether that’s three full days or five shorter days.

We’re happy to discuss working patterns during the application process.

To thrive in this role, you’ll need:

This is a role with headroom and visibility, so we’re looking for someone motivated, capable and hungry for progression, exposure and involvement.

• You’ll be a qualified accountant with strong technical expertise
• Experience of managing a portfolio of clients
• The ability to build strong relationships with clients and colleagues
• A consultative and ‘trusted advisor’ approach to working with clients
• To act as a supportive leader for the trainees you manage
• An interest in technology and emerging fintech trends

We don’t expect you to tick every box. If you’re excited about this role and believe you can make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

We welcome applications from all backgrounds and experiences and will provide reasonable accommodations during the hiring process. If there’s anything you need support with, just let us know.

The package:

• Salary range £47,000 – £55,000 depending on skills and experience
• Discretionary annual bonus
• 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays.
• Pension contributions of 5.3% when you contribute 3.2%
• Further NI savings on salsac pension option
• Salary sacrifice car scheme

The Team:

Digital Finance (DF) means different things across the industry, but at BHP, it’s simple: we become our clients’ outsourced finance function. We take care of everything from bookkeeping and management accounts to budgeting, forecasting, tax, compliance, and data reporting, giving them a modern, tech-enabled finance capability without the overhead of building it in-house.

The work is fast-moving and varied, with regular client interaction and the opportunity to develop deep relationships as a trusted adviser who understands their business inside out.

Our DF team comprises over 40 supportive and forward-thinking professionals across 4 BHP offices. The team are as committed to each other as they are to our clients and have a great culture.

The Culture:

Friendly, supportive, caring, inclusive… These are just some of the words that our current colleagues use to describe our culture.

We do our best to make sure we bring our company values to life, and through our employee surveys and engagement groups we make sure everyone has the chance to have their say and play a part in shaping our culture. When you join us, you can expect:

• A welcoming environment where everyone feels valued.
• Regular team events, networking opportunities, and professional development sessions.
• Agile, hybrid working to help you find the best work-life balance.
• Wellness programs, mental well-being support, and initiatives that prioritise your well-being.
• The freedom to challenge ideas, drive change, and take ownership of your progression from day one.

The Process:

Our recruitment process typically includes an initial informal chat about the role, followed by a more structured face-to-face interview. We’ll keep you updated at every stage.

You deserve to thrive. At BHP, we’re offering a job, but we’re also offering a career and a community where your expertise will be appreciated, your potential nurtured, and your success celebrated.
