Location: Blackburn and Bury
The role in brief
Following a period of recent organic growth, an opportunity has arisen to join the audit, accounting and advisory team as a manager.
Who we are looking for
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who already has significant audit experience, managing a client portfolio with responsibility for development within the team, working within an audit or a mixed audit and accounting role, and who is ambitious, seeking to progress and personally develop in their audit career.
What the role involves
You will be a trusted adviser as part of our audit team, providing an excellent service to a large range of corporate clients and business owners, of which circa 75% of the role will be working on statutory audits. The remaining time will be spent overseeing year-end accounts preparation and working on ad hoc advisory projects for clients.
Your work will be based at clients' premises, predominantly around Lancashire and North Manchester, and in our offices. We adopt a flexible working policy and some time may also be spent at home.
You will start to have client contact from day one as well as working closely with corporate tax colleagues. We expect that you will develop a strong internal network across our whole firm, enabling you to deliver expertise and a joined-up experience to your clients as required. Developing strong client relationships as quickly as possible will be paramount.
You will start by building on your existing experience, reporting to directors and partners, delivering high quality audit and accounts files. You will be able to utilise previous experience in ensuring timely reviews of files and being a strong and effective communicator.
You will have experience of preparing and reviewing financial statements prepared in accordance with FRS102 and FRS102-1A, and be able to support clients and the team with technical accounting matters.
You will work alongside other managers in the team, contributing to the effective running of the department and identifying improvements in quality and efficiency alongside identifying training needs and delivering such training internally.
You will be commercially aware, responsible for realistically prepared budgets and for the invoicing of clients and ultimate payment of our services.
As your experience grows, further progression opportunities would be available, should you so wish.
Your development
We provide a complementary range of training opportunities to ensure that you maximise your potential in areas such as becoming a trusted adviser, how to network, presentation skills etc with opportunities for progression around the firm. These will comprise personal effectiveness as well as your technical skills.
We have 6 monthly reflect and act conversations to ensure your development is on track, with optional monthly 1-2-1s. You will also have the opportunity to work with a mentor.
We also encourage you to get involved in wider firm initiatives and have your say on how we can progress on our journey towards being the best North-West firm of finance professionals.
Your attributes
As well as relevant experience in a similar role we'd like you to be:
ACA/ACCA qualified (or equivalent) with post qualification experience in a similar role
Keen to play an active role in a dynamic team and willing to contribute to the success of the team and the firm as a whole
Passionate about providing great client service with a genuine interest in our clients.
Great at communicating with people at all levels.
Positive, emotionally aware and resilient.
Good at using your initiative, solving problems and working under pressure.
Motivated and well organised.
Have good organisational skills as well as the ability to take initiative and contribute to the effective running of the department.
