Are you an experienced Outsourcing Accountant looking to join a forward-thinking, people-focused firm where your work actually makes a difference?

This is a brilliant opportunity to join one of the UK's Top 100 accountancy firms, within a highly regarded Outsourcing Department that delivers a true outsourced finance function - not just bookkeeping rebadged as outsourcing. The role offers autonomy, variety, and progression in a collaborative, modern environment.

You'll work with an interesting mix of clients, from owner-managed businesses to international subsidiaries, helping them improve financial visibility, streamline systems and embrace digital tools. The team is long-established, stable, and full of people who genuinely enjoy what they do - turnover here is incredibly low because people grow and stay.

The Role

As an Outsourcing Accountant, you'll take responsibility for a portfolio of clients, delivering management reporting, VAT and advisory services while mentoring junior team members and contributing to project work.
Duties include:

• Preparing and reviewing management accounts, VAT and CIS returns, cash flow forecasts, P11Ds and PSAs.
• Acting as the key client contact - providing insight, problem-solving and practical finance advice.
• Overseeing bookkeeping and management reporting, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
• Supporting and reviewing the work of junior team members, helping them to develop.
• Driving efficiency through automation and process improvement.
• Liaising with other departments across Tax, Audit, Payroll and Business Services.
• Using leading cloud accounting systems such as Xero, QuickBooks, Silverfin, Fathom and Apron.
• Involvement in project work such as HMRC registrations, software conversions and due diligence preparation.

About You

• ACA or ACCA qualified (or equivalent).
• Previous experience in practice is essential, ideally within outsourcing, management accounts or business services.
• Confident communicator with strong technical knowledge across bookkeeping, VAT and management accounts.
• Comfortable working directly with clients, managing deadlines and solving problems.
• Proactive, organised and tech-savvy, with an interest in digital accounting tools.

What's on Offer

• Salary between £52,000 and £60,000, depending on experience.
• Hybrid working model - typically three days in the office, two from home once established.
• Free parking and great transport links (10-minute walk from Ascot station).
• Monthly one-to-ones and a structured mentoring programme.
• Continuous professional development and a clear path for career progression.
• Investors in People - Silver accreditation.
• Friendly, supportive culture where people are trusted to get on with their work.

This is a role for someone who wants to feel valued, challenged and supported in equal measure - joining a firm where outsourcing is seen as a cornerstone of the business, not an add-on.
