Financial Reporting Assistant Manager in Eastleigh

We’re BDO, an accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today’s changing world. We work with companies that are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy - and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.

The Business Services and Outsourcing team are essential to meeting our clients' evolving requirements. They deliver long-term, sustainable value to businesses by providing a range of solutions such as accounting, payroll and compliance services, and play a key role in tying together many of our services across BDO both domestically and internationally.

To succeed in this agile environment, you’ll need to demonstrate excellent problem‑solving skills and initiative. In return, you’ll have the opportunity for progression and the chance to develop in one of the industry’s most exciting and varied roles.

Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, which comes from working closely with them and building long‑lasting relationships. You’ll be someone who is comfortable working proactively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and BDO’s partners.

Overview: Step into the role of Assistant Manager, where you’ll manage a portfolio of clients and support senior team members in delivering services promptly. Your portfolio will include reviewing year‑end statutory accounts compliance and liaising with audit teams, both BDO and non‑BDO, alongside handling ad‑hoc advisory requests. You’ll assess resource needs, monitor progress against budgets and timelines, review junior staff work, and resolve issues before Manager or Partner review. You’ll work independently, ensuring project delivery and acting as the first point of contact for clients and auditors.

You’ll also play a key role in team development, promoting BDO values and providing performance feedback.

You’ll be someone with:

• A professional accountancy qualification such as ACA, ACCA or equivalent
• An excellent working knowledge of FRS102 and IFRS
• Experience as a trainee or senior role, including delivering statutory accounts preparation or accounting services to ambitious entrepreneurial businesses
• A proven ability to research technical accounting matters
• Demonstrable working knowledge of financial products, firm services, issues regarding advice and regulation and compliance, including anti‑money laundering

Our agile working framework helps us stay connected, bringing teams together where and when it counts so they can share ideas and help one another.
