Overall Job Purpose

As an assistant manager, you would be expected to complete technically challenging projects. This will include the practical application of accounting standards under FRS 102, IFRS and FRS 101, group reconstructions and accounting considerations, conversion to different GAAP, technical accounting papers, and acquisition accounting support. The role would also include the preparation of statutory accounts under IFRS and FRS 101.
Joining this team gives you the opportunity to work on an array of different financial reporting advisory projects. The work is fast-paced and full of variety. The experience and support you would get in this role would allow the right individual to ultimately become a true specialist in financial reporting and a premium advisor to clients. The fast growth of the department will also create opportunities to develop further skill sets including business development and coaching of junior staff. It will also present an opportunity to work with a variety of colleagues and businesses across the UK, as well as supporting your local office.
A strong understanding of UK GAAP and IFRS accounting principles is essential.
Responsibilities

* Ensuring that agreed deadlines are met and significant issues are resolved in a timely manner.
* Acting as a coach to more junior members of the team and participating in staff training and supervision as required.
* This role has the opportunity for line management of junior staff depending on experience.
* Developing and maintaining an advanced level of technical knowledge and expertise both through appropriate reading and courses (fulfilling relevant Institute’s CPD requirements) and through exposure to stretching and challenging assignments.
* A willingness to travel to client’s premises is required. However, a significant proportion of work is office-based working within our fast-growing team.
* This role may also include assisting the compliance teams in the preparation of statutory accounts under IFRS, FRS 101 and FRS 102.
Personal and Professional Qualities
The role requires:
* Qualified accountant status (ACA or ACCA qualified or equivalent).
* A positive, can-do attitude and a willingness to learn and progress.
* A passion for financial reporting under IFRS and UK GAAP, with experience of applying principles in complex situations gained either in practice or in industry.
* Strong project management and organisational skills.
* A team player able to work closely at all levels from partners to junior staff.
* Ability to deliver results autonomously – a “self-starter”.
* Experience of working with multiple clients simultaneously.
* Experience of supervision and coaching of junior staff.
* Experience of Microsoft Office, with high competency with Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
