Job Description:

Background

We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our successful Public Sector team in what is an exciting and innovative role. In the role you would have the opportunity to work across our Public Sector Financial Reporting team and our Public Sector Financial Reporting and Accounting Support team.

Our successful Public Sector Financial Reporting team provides training, guidance, technical assistance and quality assurance to support the UK’s largest public sector external audit practice to deliver high quality audits which provide assurance to the public and wider stakeholders and add value to the public sector organisations we work with.

This innovative role gives the successful candidate the opportunity to utilise their financial reporting and accounting knowledge to directly support audit teams deliver quality audits and also directly support public sector organisations with the challenges that they face.

A look into the role

The role as a manager working across our Public Sector Financial Reporting (FR) and Public Sector Financial Reporting and Accounting Support (FRAS) teams will provide you with the opportunity to support the quality of audits and support clients directly with some of the major challenges they face.

FR
  • Critically review draft public sector financial statements to support audit teams and manage risk.
  • Draft responses, and act as consultee, on complex or unique financial reporting queries.
  • Lead on the drafting of internal guidance and training materials.
  • Present, or support presenters, at both internal and external events.
  • Contribute to the firm’s responses to technical consultations.
  • Keep up to date with current professional debates.
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with our audit teams.
  • Work closely with your colleagues in our Financial Reporting and Audit Quality teams.
FRAS
  • Be responsible for a number of non-audit clients.
  • Use problem solving skills to work with clients to solve complex technical matters. This could include, for example: specific accounting issues, implementation of new standards, financial reporting review and creation and financial management/governance.
  • Take opportunities for wider team responsibilities through training and pitching new projects.
  • Oversee and develop your team to the highest standard.
  • Build and maintain a strong working relationship with your team and our clients.
  • Constantly strive to push yourself, and the business, further, knowing you are supported at every stage.

Knowing you’re right for us
Joining us as a manager, the minimum criteria you will need is:

  • Professional Accounting qualification (CIPFA, ACA, ICAS, CA or ACCA).
  • Post qualification experience either in the delivery of External Audit to Local Authorities and Health bodies or from within a Local Government or Health finance function.
  • Excellent grasp of IFRS accounting standards and their implementation in the public sector to respond to client accounting queries.
  • Excellent knowledge of financial reporting in the public sector.
  • Project management experience.
  • Business development experience would be beneficial.

Beyond the job
The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job. From secondments to fundraising for local charities, or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world, you’ll be giving back to society. It’s that drive to do the right thing that runs through our every move, grounded in our firm’s values – purposefully driven, actively curious and candid but kind.

We’re looking for people who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas and go beyond expectations. People who want to be able to proudly do what’s right, for the firm, our clients, our people and themselves.
