Accounts Manager - Outsourced Business Services
Location: Leatherhead
Full-Time | Hybrid Working | Excellent Benefits

Are you an experienced accounting professional looking to step away from audit while still working with complex financial reporting? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic and collaborative Outsourced Business Services team as an Accounts Manager.

In this role, you'll manage a portfolio of medium to large corporate clients, providing expert accounting and corporate reporting services. You'll work closely with Partners, Directors, and audit teams, contributing to the firm's reputation as a centre of excellence for financial reporting.

This is an ideal role for someone with a strong technical background who enjoys client-facing responsibilities and is looking to develop their leadership skills in a supportive and forward-thinking environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage a diverse portfolio of corporate clients with complex financial reporting needs
  • Oversee the preparation of financial statements under FRS 102 and IFRS
  • Collaborate with internal and external audit teams to ensure smooth processes
  • Provide technical accounting advice and guidance to clients
  • Lead transition projects including revenue recognition and lease accounting
  • Draft technical reports and memorandums on complex accounting issues
  • Mentor and support junior team members, fostering their professional growth
  • Drive client relationships and identify opportunities for additional services
  • Manage WIP, billing, and overall financials for your client portfolio

About You:

  • ACA/ACCA qualified with 5+ years of post-qualification experience
  • Strong technical knowledge of UK GAAP and IFRS
  • Experience in corporate financial reporting and group consolidations
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills, with a client-focused approach
  • Highly organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple deadlines
  • Experience in a Top 10 or Big 4 firm is desirable but not essential
  • Proficiency in Excel and Caseware is a plus

What's on Offer:

  • A supportive, people-first culture that values work-life balance
  • Flexible, hybrid working arrangements to suit your lifestyle
  • A wide range of clients, offering variety and career progression opportunities
  • Ongoing training, professional development, and leadership pathways
  • Competitive benefits including private medical, enhanced leave policies, and pension contributions
  • Wellbeing initiatives, volunteering days, and a vibrant social calendar

Ready to take the next step in your accounting career? Apply now to join a team that values expertise, innovation, and a collaborative approach to client success.
