Liverpool, United Kingdom BDO Full time

Ideas | People | Trust

We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today’s changing world.

We work with the companies that are Britain’s economic engine - ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy - and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.

We’ll broaden your horizons

Our Shared Service Centre team (SSC) provides essential support to a number of teams across our firm. As well as assisting on large-scale operations, beyond the capacity of a core specialist team, they provide the unparalleled expertise we need to keep moving forward. As part of this friendly department, you’ll have the chance to work on exciting projects and develop your skillset. There’s real opportunity, making it a great chance to use industry knowledge and experience to solve problems in your next career step, or it can be a place to learn if you’re just starting out. If you want to work on important projects and explore your potential, we’ll give you the friendly, supportive working environment to go far.

We’ll help you succeed

Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships.

You’ll be someone who is both comfortable working proactively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and BDO’s partners to help businesses effectively. You’ll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to organisations we work with.

We are recruiting for Virtual PAs based in the Business Support Hub in our Liverpool Shared Service Centre to offer ad hoc PA cover to our National Business Support Stream. The Business Support Hub launched in November 2020 and with approximately 50 people, is able to flex easily to accommodate many different requests from across BDO nationally, not only from our external facing teams but also from those in our Practice Management Departments (PMDs). The Hub provides support services, performing various tasks on behalf of these teams and allowing our external facing teams to focus on delivering exceptional client service - our Virtual PA offering will be key to this continued success.

The National Business Support Stream is a collaborative community of c230 business support professionals across the firm, working in our 17 hubs and infrastructure departments. Made up of PAs, Senior PAs, Executive Assistants, Operations Managers, Receptionists, and Administrators, we offer access to career development, learning opportunities, coaching and mentoring. Our aim is to ‘work smarter and creatively’ driving consistencies and ‘working better together’ by sharing best practice and knowledge.
