Senior Outsourcing Manager

Your new company
This is a newly created role within a growing, progressive accountancy firm that is investing heavily in its outsourced finance and advisory offering. The firm supports a broad SME client base and operates with an informal, commercially minded culture - grown-ups doing proper work without unnecessary hierarchy.

Centrally located offices, modern working practices, and a leadership team that genuinely wants this hire to shape and grow the service, not just inherit it.

Your new role
You'll take a senior position within the outsourced finance function, providing strategic financial leadership to owner-managed businesses and SMEs.The role blends hands-on client delivery with higher-level advisory and team leadership. You'll be trusted to work directly with business owners, senior management teams and boards, helping clients make better decisions through clear insight, not jargon.
Key elements include:

• Leading outsourced finance relationships for a portfolio of SME clients
• Overseeing management accounts, forecasting, budgeting and financial reporting
• Acting as a trusted advisor, attending regular client meetings to review performance and growth
• Ensuring compliance across statutory reporting, VAT and UK accounting standards
• Identifying financial risks and implementing appropriate controls
• Coaching and developing finance teams (both in-house and outsourced)
• Collaborating with tax, audit and payroll colleagues to provide joined-up advice
