The Opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity to join a small but rapidly growing accountancy and business advisory firm that is building a reputation for delivering proactive, commercial advice to ambitious businesses across the North West.

The Role
As an Accounts & Business Advisory Manager, you'll take ownership of a varied client portfolio while supporting the firm's continued growth.
Responsibilities will include:
- Managing a portfolio of owner-managed businesses across a variety of sectors
- Reviewing statutory accounts prepared under FRS102 and FRS105
- Reviewing corporation tax computations

- Delivering business advisory services to help clients improve profitability and growth
- Acting as the primary point of contact for clients, building trusted long-term relationships
- Supporting clients with cloud accounting solutions and digital transformation
- Identifying tax planning and advisory opportunities in conjunction with specialist teams
- Managing workflow and ensuring deadlines are consistently achieved
- Coaching, mentoring and developing junior members of the team
- Supporting Directors with business development and networking activities
- Helping drive improvements in systems, processes and client service
This is a highly client-facing role with an excellent balance of accounts, advisory and leadership responsibilities.
