About the role...

Are you currently working in an outsourcing or audit manager role and are looking for your next challenge? Do you love solving problems and the technical challenges that come with working with sophisticated, complex businesses? We have an exciting new role within our growing Business Services & Outsourcing team that could be your perfect fit.

As a senior member of the Business Services & Outsourcing team, we are looking for someone who is technically-savvy and well-versed in both FRS 102 and IFRS. The role will involve:

  • Leading the accounts and financial reporting service line on a portfolio of audited clients, whilst being closely supported by Assistant Managers.
  • Delivering a slick and efficient process from start to finish, building good working relationships with both clients and internal teams, as well as working capital management.
  • Completing technical reviews of FRS 102, FRS 101, and consolidated IFRS statutory accounts.
  • Supporting the wider BS&O team with technical queries, researching complex areas, and finding solutions, as well as playing a key role in the coaching and development of the team.
  • Overseeing Mid-Market added-value technical projects, such as FRS 102 to IFRS conversion.
  • Playing a key role in our go-to-market strategy for Mid-Market businesses, growing our offering and client base in the accounts and financial reporting space.

By joining us, you will be working with a team and company that inspires you and be given an active opportunity to shape the future of our company and encouraged to be innovative.

About you...

At Cooper Parry, we’re in it together. All we ask of our people is that they play all in. You’ll continuously strive to keep learning – whether you’re a trainee or a Partner – and you’ll be brave, stepping out of your comfort zone to tackle new challenges. Above all, be nice. A simple notion, but an irreplaceable part of what makes CP, CP.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
