Accounting Services Manager
£65,000-£75,000 + benefits
Hybrid working

I'm working with a Big 4 firm that is looking to appoint an Accounting Services Manager into its growing Accounting Services team.

This is a strong opportunity for a qualified ACA or ACCA accountant who wants a broader, more commercial role covering statutory accounts, outsourced accounting, management accounts, cross-border reporting and advisory work.

The team works with a varied and prestigious client base of national and multinational businesses, providing high-quality corporate accounting services and helping clients remain compliant while improving the way their finance functions operate.

The Role

As Accounting Services Manager, you will manage the delivery of outsourced accounting and corporate accounting services to a range of corporate clients.

The work will include statutory financial statements, bookkeeping, management accounts, secondment support, cross-border reporting and advisory projects around statutory accounting compliance and process improvement.

Responsibilities will include:

• Managing the preparation and review of statutory financial statements

• Supporting outsourced accounting assignments for corporate clients

• Overseeing bookkeeping and periodic management accounts work

• Managing local statutory accounts preparation for cross-border clients

• Advising on statutory accounting compliance requirements

• Supporting improvements to the statutory accounts production, audit and filing cycle

• Working with specialists across the wider firm

• Managing deadlines and maintaining high-quality client service

• Supervising, coaching and developing junior team members

• Building strong relationships with clients and internal stakeholders

What They're Looking For

The firm is keen to speak with qualified accountants who are technically strong, commercially aware and comfortable working in a client-facing role.

You will ideally have:

• ACA or ACCA qualification, or international equivalent

• Broad accounting or finance experience gained within practice

• Strong technical accounting and financial reporting knowledge

• Good working knowledge of UK GAAP and IFRS

• Some awareness of US GAAP

• Strong Excel skills and confidence using accounting systems

• A professional, flexible and client-focused approach

• Experience working in deadline-driven environments

• Strong supervisory skills and the ability to coach junior staff

Why Apply?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a Big 4 accounting services team with a strong reputation, high-quality clients and clear long-term career development.

The role offers a varied mix of corporate accounting, outsourced finance work and advisory projects, with access to continuous technical training, personal development and specialists across the wider firm.

The package includes:

• £65,000-£75,000 + benefits

• Hybrid working across office, home and client site

• Private medical cover

• 24/7 access to a qualified virtual GP

• Six volunteering days per year

• Strong training, development and progression support

• Wider flexible benefits package

This would suit an experienced Assistant Manager ready to step up, or an existing Manager looking for a broader accounting services role with better client variety, strong support and a bigger platform for progression.
