Outsourcing Assistant Manager

I'm working with a well-regarded mid-tier accountancy firm looking to hire an Assistant Manager into its Outsourcing team.

This is a genuinely broad role for someone who enjoys management accounts, outsourced finance support and being close to clients commercially, rather than sitting in a pure compliance position.

You'll manage a portfolio of clients, review management accounts, support budgeting and cash flow work, oversee VAT, and review statutory accounts ahead of final sign-off. There's also real scope to build trusted client relationships and spot opportunities to add value.

The client base is varied and includes ambitious, growing businesses as well as more complex group structures. The team also works across a number of attractive sectors including creative, media, tech, financial services, property, hospitality and social purpose.

Key responsibilities:

• Manage a portfolio of outsourced finance clients
• Review monthly and quarterly management accounts
• Support budgeting, forecasting and cash flow planning
• Act as a day-to-day contact for clients and finance leads
• Identify commercial and operational risks early
• Review statutory accounts and oversee VAT compliance
• Supervise and develop junior team members
• Work with colleagues across audit, tax and advisory

What they're looking for:

• ACA / ACCA qualified or equivalent
• Strong experience in an accountancy firm within outsourcing / business services
• Good management accounts experience
• Comfortable reviewing work and supporting junior staff
• Confident dealing directly with clients
• Strong Xero and Excel skills

This is a strong move for someone who wants more ownership, broader exposure and a clear route for progression.
