Manager – Year End Accounts Team

Manchester City Centre

Are you an experienced Accounts Senior ready to step away from the day-to-day accounts production and take on a more strategic, leadership-focused role?

We’re looking for an ambitious individual to oversee a high performing year end accounts team; alongside driving the growth and direction of the department.

You will work closely with the Directors and Senior Management Team on shaping the growth of the team, making this a brilliant opportunity to broaden your experience at a senior level, and get in at ‘just the right time’ as the firm goes through its next phase of growth.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading, mentoring, and developing a team of 5 year end accountants
• Contributing to strategic decisions that guide the department’s growth
• Collaborating closely with directors on key projects and initiatives
• Shifting focus from routine accounts prep to leadership, planning, and innovation
• Allocating work and reviewing completed work from the team
• Operating as a sound board for the more complex queries
• Recruiting additional staff to facilitate growth

About You:

• Ideally ACA / ACCA qualified (non-qualified and QBE’s are being considered)
• Must have previous experience in practice
• Keen to step into a leadership and management role
• You might be from a contractor accounting background ready for a broader remit, or already working across a diverse client base
• Passionate about mentoring, driving change, and playing a strategic role in a growing firm

What’s in It for You?

• Up to 17% annual bonus
• Flexible & hybrid working
• Extended holidays for better work-life balance
• Modern, spacious offices
• A genuinely supportive senior leadership team
• Unmatched exposure and career development opportunities as the firm expands
