We're BDO, an accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions businesses need to navigate today's changing world. Our clients are Britain's economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high growth businesses that fuel the economy.

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. By building deep and meaningful relationships with a range of clients from ambitious entrepreneurial SMEs to large multi-national groups, our BS&O team not only advises on specific business challenges but also opens doors for other teams to provide our firm's wider service offering.

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.

Our clients trust us because of the quality of our advice, which grows from a thorough understanding of their business.

You'll also contribute to strategic growth, coach junior staff, and support business development and commercial performance.

This role offers the chance to build on your financial reporting and technical expertise within a collaborative and supportive team. You'll receive high-quality training and development to help you succeed.

We work with a wide range of clients, primarily owner-managed and SME businesses, across various sectors. Our work spans UK GAAP and IFRS frameworks, including financial statement preparation and advisory projects.

You'll be someone with:

• Qualified ACA, ACCA or equivalent.
• Previous experience in a management role.
• Strong working knowledge of UK and international reporting standards (including UK GAAP and UK-adopted IFRS) and related financial reporting requirements.
• Previous experience preparing and reviewing statutory accounts.
• Business development experience - able to contribute to the identification and conversion of opportunities to services.
