Outsourced Senior Manager

We're working with a fast-growing, multi-office accountancy and advisory firm with a strong presence across the South East, now looking to appoint an Outsourced Senior Manager into their Guildford office.

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a client-facing, commercially focused role, working closely with owner-managed businesses and SMEs, acting as a trusted advisor and providing strategic financial insight.

You'll take ownership of a portfolio of clients, delivering a high-quality outsourced finance function while supporting business owners with meaningful, forward-thinking advice.

Key responsibilities include:

• Acting as a trusted advisor to SME clients, supporting with financial strategy and performance
• Overseeing management accounts, forecasting, budgeting and financial reporting
• Reviewing and ensuring accuracy of statutory reporting and compliance (VAT, HMRC, etc.)
• Leading regular client meetings, presenting financial insights and recommendations
• Identifying risks and opportunities, helping clients make informed commercial decisions
• Working collaboratively with internal teams across tax, audit and payroll
• Coaching and mentoring both internal team members and client finance teams

We're looking for a commercially minded, confident individual who enjoys working closely with clients and adding real value.

• ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or equivalent)
• Strong background within an accountancy practice environment, ideally in outsourcing
• Experience working with SMEs / owner-managed businesses
• Comfortable delivering financial insights to senior stakeholders
• A natural relationship builder with excellent communication skills
• Experience managing or mentoring team members

Desirable (but not essential):

• Exposure to growth businesses, scale-ups or turnaround environments
• Experience supporting fundraising, M&A or exit planning

• Salary in the region of £60,000 - £70,000
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays, with option to buy/sell additional days
• Enhanced family-friendly policies
• Pension scheme
• Regular social events and a collaborative team culture
• Hybrid / flexible working options available

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to move into a more advisory-led, client-facing position, away from pure compliance.

You'll be joining a firm that is:

• Growing and forward-thinking
• Invested in modern ways of working
• Focused on delivering real value to clients
