About the Role
If you're recently qualified and ready to take genuine ownership of a varied financial reporting portfolio, this could be exactly the right move.
Our client is a well-regarded professional services firm with a dedicated Financial Reporting Team sitting at the heart of its wider accounts service line. Right now, the team focuses on preparing high-quality accounts that support the firm's audit function. But this is a team on the move. With plans already in place to take the offering to market, you'll be joining at a genuinely exciting moment, with the opportunity to work on larger, more complex external assignments and engage directly with external auditors as that growth unfolds.
This is a technically demanding role in a fast-paced environment, and it's well suited to someone who takes pride in the quality of their work, enjoys developing others, and is ready to step into a position of real responsibility.
What You'll Be Doing
- Managing a portfolio of financial reporting assignments end-to-end, maintaining high technical standards and keeping workflows on track
- Working closely with audit teams, partners, and other service lines to ensure smooth, timely delivery across all assignments
- Acting as a key point of contact for nominated clients and audit teams on financial reporting matters
- Preparing, reviewing, and delegating assignments in line with agreed budgets and internal quality standards
- Tackling larger and more complex accounts, including consolidations, and researching technical issues as they arise, escalating where appropriate
- Supervising, supporting, and reviewing the work of semi-seniors, assistants, and offshore colleagues
- Managing multiple deadlines simultaneously, keeping stakeholders well informed and expectations well managed
- Ensuring all files are complete, compliant, and review-ready in line with documentation and internal hygiene standards
- Addressing review points raised by managers, directors, partners, and audit teams in a timely and thorough manner
- Coaching junior team members through clear task planning, structured feedback, and on-the-job guidance
- Contributing to service line growth through collaborative working and involvement in business development activity
