Job description

Ideas People Trust

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

Our clients are Britain's economic engine - ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high growth businesses that fuel the economy - and 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

Our clients 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 clients and building long-lasting relationships.

You'll be someone who can work pro-actively, managing your own tasks, but you'll also be confident collaborating with others, communicating regularly with senior managers, Directors, and BDO's Partners to enable us to serve our clients effectively. You'll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to our clients.

Overview

Join our Northern team and step into a fast-growing business with real career progression. We pride ourselves on a fantastic culture, offering flexible schedules and a great work-life balance. With our hybrid working policy, you can choose to work from home or the office based on your tasks and business needs.

As an Assistant Manager, you'll manage a portfolio of clients, working closely with senior team members to deliver services on time. You'll prepare year-end statutory financial statements, compile financial information, manage corporate tax services, and provide ad-hoc financial reporting advisory services.

You'll lead client relationships, oversee project performance, and ensure resource needs are met. You'll review junior staff work and resolve issues before Partner review. Beyond client work, you'll support our strategic growth plan, coach junior staff, drive business development, and ensure compliance with policies and risk management procedures.

This role is perfect for developing your financial reporting and technical knowledge within a supportive team. We offer high-quality training and development to help you succeed. Join us and make a real impact across various sectors, focusing on owner-managed businesses and SMEs.

You'll be someone with:

• ACA, ACCA or equivalent qualification.
• Previous experience in a supervisory role.
• Strong working knowledge of UK reporting standards (including UK GAAP and UK-adopted IFRS) and related financial reporting requirements.
• Previous experience preparing and/or reviewing statutory accounts, consolidations and cash flows.
• Evidence of the ability to research technical accounting matters.

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 everyone the opportunity to work in ways that suit them, their teams, and the task in hand.

At BDO, we'll help you achieve your personal goals and career ambitions, and we have programmes, resources, and frameworks that provide clarity and structure around career development.

We're in it together

We can provide the best support for our clients and people when we're working side by side. Our agile working framework helps us stay connected, bringing teams together where and when it counts so they can share ideas and help one another. At BDO, you'll always have access to the people and resources you need to do your best work.

We know that collaboration is the key to creating value for our clients and satisfying experiences at work, so we've invested in state-of-the-art collaboration spaces in our offices. BDO's people represent a wealth of knowledge and expertise, and we'll encourage you to build your network, work alongside others, and share your skills and experiences. With a range of multidisciplinary events and dedicated resources, you'll never stop learning at BDO.
