Business Management Manager / Assistant Manager

Business Management Manager / Assistant Manager

Up to £60,000 | London | Sports, Media & Entertainment

I'm partnering with a specialist business management firm to recruit a Business Management Manager / Assistant Manager for their expanding London office. Rare opportunity to work with high-profile clients across sports, media, and entertainment.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Exciting client base: Professional athletes (motorsport, combat sports, tennis, golf), actors on major productions, touring musicians, international superstars
• US backing & growth: Recent acquisition by major US business management firm - opportunities to collaborate across US offices and potential secondments
• Ambitious expansion: London office has huge growth plans over the next few years
• Family office-style work: Private client issues, house staff, wider financial matters - genuinely varied
• Build your network: If you have relationships or specialism in sports/media/entertainment, they want to hear from you

The Role

Join the Business Management team managing day-to-day affairs for entertainment industry clients across business management, accounting, and tax.

What You'll Do:

• Manage portfolio of clients (companies, sole traders, personal tax) as first point of contact
• Daily client interaction - meetings, calls, visiting premises
• Review financial statements, corporation tax returns, VAT, management accounts
• Business management support: payments, billing, debt collection, HMRC enquiries
• Client relationship building with artists, advisors, lawyers, management teams
• Team leadership: train juniors, allocate work, support development
• Coordinate with internal teams (Accounts, Tax, Payroll)

What You'll Need

• ACA/ACCA qualified with solid public practice experience (1+ years PQE)
• Strong client relationship and communication skills
• Ability to manage portfolio independently
• Self-motivated, works well under pressure
• Xero essential; Iris/Alpha useful
• Experience in sports/media/entertainment clients

What's On Offer

• Up to £60,000 depending on experience
• Hybrid working
• Great company culture
• Join an exciting growth stage

Interview Process

1. Informal interview - CV deep-dive, client discussion
2. Technical & commercial interview (Partner + Music team lead)
3. Team intro (if needed)

The Opportunity

Join a practice at an exciting inflection point - backed by a major US firm, expanding rapidly, and positioning to become the go-to specialist in entertainment business management. If you want variety, high-profile clients, and genuine growth opportunity, this could be perfect.
