A multi-office accountancy and advisory firm with a strong presence across the South East is hiring an Outsourcing Senior Manager for its Guildford office. You would run your own portfolio of owner-managed businesses and SMEs, with the advisory side being the point of the job rather than an add-on. Management information clients actually use, proper conversations about what the numbers mean, and input on decisions before they are made rather than after.
The role
- You will own a portfolio and deliver a full outsourced finance function, with advisory work sitting on top.
- Running management accounts, forecasting, budgeting and reporting.
- Reviewing statutory reporting and compliance, including VAT and HMRC.
- Leading client meetings and talking business owners through what the numbers are telling them.
- Flagging risks and opportunities early enough for clients to act on them.
- Working alongside the tax, audit and payroll teams.
- Coaching your own team, and in some cases the client's finance staff.
Who they are looking for
- Someone commercially minded who likes client contact and is comfortable sitting across the table from a business owner.
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, or qualified by experience.
- Practice background, ideally in outsourcing or business services.
- Used to working with SMEs and owner-managed businesses.
- Confident presenting to senior stakeholders.
- Some experience managing or mentoring a team.
Useful but not essential: exposure to scale-ups, growth businesses or turnarounds, or involvement in fundraising, M&A or exit planning.
The package
- 60,000 to 70,000.
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell.
- Hybrid and flexible working.
- Enhanced family friendly policies.
- Pension scheme.
- Regular socials and a team that actually gets on.
Worth a look if you are a Manager or Senior Manager who has outgrown compliance work and wants a portfolio where the client relationship is the job. Happy to talk it through confidentially.
