At TC Group, we're more than accountants. We're trusted advisers helping ambitious businesses achieve their goals.

As one of the UK's fastest-growing Top 20 accountancy firms, we're investing heavily in our people, technology and future growth. We're looking for an ambitious and commercially minded Accounting Operations Manager to join our Professional Services division in Belfast.

This is an opportunity to move beyond a traditional accounting role and take ownership of people, processes, quality and continuous improvement within a growing international operation. Working closely with colleagues across Northern Ireland and India, you'll lead a talented team, help shape service delivery and play a key role in driving technology, automation and AI adoption.

If you're looking for a role where your leadership, technical expertise and ambition can influence the future direction of a growing business, this could be your ideal next step.

This isn't a traditional accounting position focused on preparing accounts. Instead, you'll:

• Lead and develop an international team of accounting professionals
• Provide leadership, coaching and technical oversight
• Drive operational excellence and process improvement
• Champion technology, automation and AI adoption
• Work closely with senior leaders across the business
• Gain valuable international management experience
• Build the skills and experience needed to progress into senior operational and leadership roles

We're looking for someone who wants more than a traditional accounting role.

This position offers the opportunity to develop leadership, operational and strategic skills while managing an international team within a growing business. As you establish yourself in the role, you'll have the opportunity to take on broader leadership responsibilities and play an increasingly influential role in the future direction of the Professional Services division.

Beyond day-to-day responsibilities, you'll gain exposure to operational management, international team leadership, technology adoption, workforce planning and strategic decision-making, providing a breadth of experience rarely available in traditional accounting roles.

This role sits at the intersection of people, process and technology. You'll combine strong technical accounting expertise with operational leadership while helping to shape how services are delivered across a growing international business.

Your focus will be on reviewing work, developing people, improving processes and driving operational excellence through the intelligent use of technology. You'll also support the adoption of automation, AI-powered solutions and emerging technologies that enhance efficiency and service delivery.

This is an ideal opportunity for a qualified accountant who enjoys leading teams, embracing innovation and driving meaningful change within a fast-growing organisation.

• Managing, mentoring and developing an international accounting team
• Leading workflow planning, capacity management and service delivery
• Driving continuous improvement through technology, automation and AI-enabled workflows
• Overseeing quality and technical standards across year-end accounts, corporation tax, bookkeeping, management accounts and related compliance services
• Identifying opportunities to improve quality, efficiency and client outcomes
• Developing team capability through coaching, training and knowledge sharing
• Supporting the adoption of Microsoft Copilot, AI agents and other emerging technologies
• Collaborating with colleagues across the UK and internationally
