Accounts Assistant Manager

I'm working with a well-regarded mid-tier accountancy firm looking to hire an Assistant Manager into its Accounts team.

This role sits within a statutory accounts-focused team and would suit someone who enjoys accounts preparation, reviewing work, managing client relationships and helping develop junior staff.

You'll work with a busy portfolio of clients, mainly across corporate sectors, overseeing the delivery of high-quality statutory accounts and acting as a key link between clients, the internal team and audit.

It's a strong move for someone who wants more ownership, more review exposure and a clear step up in responsibility within a collaborative firm.

Oversee accounts preparation service delivery across your portfolio

Review work produced by junior team members

Deliver statutory accounts in line with relevant reporting standards

Prepare and review consolidation workings for group accounts

Liaise directly with clients and audit teams through the year-end process

Report into senior managers, directors and partners

Help maintain quality, deadlines and client service standards

What they're looking for

ACA / ACCA qualified

Strong experience within an accountancy firm in business services, outsourcing or accounts prep

Good knowledge of UK accounting standards and financial reporting

Working knowledge of tax and VAT

Confident reviewing work and supporting junior staff

Strong communication skills and client-facing confidence

Good working knowledge of Xero, Caseware and Excel

This is a good opportunity for someone who wants a more involved, client-facing role with genuine responsibility and progression.
