This position offers the opportunity to engage in a variety of financial reporting advisory projects in a fast-paced environment. The experience and support you gain in this role will help you become a true specialist in financial reporting and a trusted advisor to clients. The rapid growth of the department will also present opportunities for you to develop skills in business development and coaching junior staff, allowing you to collaborate with colleagues and businesses across the UK while also supporting your local office.

A solid understanding of UK GAAP and IFRS accounting principles is crucial for success in this role.

• Client Communication: Serve as the main point of contact for clients, promptly addressing any issues or concerns and communicating them to the assignment manager or partner, while also proposing potential solutions.
• Excellent Client Service: Uphold high standards of client service through significant client interactions.
• Collaborate with Teams: Work closely with other departments, particularly audit and corporate tax teams, to ensure deadlines are met and major issues are addressed promptly.
• Mentorship: Act as a coach for junior team members and participate in staff training and supervision as necessary. Depending on your experience, this role may involve line management of junior staff.
• Continuous Learning: Maintain a high level of technical knowledge and expertise through relevant reading and training, fulfilling CPD requirements of the appropriate professional institute and gaining exposure to challenging assignments.
• Travel Requirements: Be prepared to travel to client locations, although most work will be office-based within our expanding team.
• Assist with Compliance: Help the compliance teams in preparing statutory accounts under IFRS, FRS 101, and FRS 102.

• ACA or ACCA qualified (or equivalent).
• A proactive, positive attitude and a strong desire to learn and advance your career.
• A genuine passion for financial reporting under IFRS and UK GAAP, with practical experience in applying these principles in complex scenarios, gained in practice or industry.
• Strong project management and organizational abilities.
• A collaborative spirit, capable of working effectively with colleagues at all levels, from partners to junior staff.
