Outsourcing Senior Manager | Guildford | £60,000 to £70,000
Most outsourcing roles are compliance with a bit of client contact bolted on. This one isn't.
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.
Therole
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
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.
