To succeed in this agile environment, you’ll need to demonstrate excellent problem-solving skills and initiative. In return, you’ll have the opportunity for progression, and the chance to develop in one of the industry’s most exciting and varied roles.

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 will take responsibility for all aspects of service delivery from client take on to completion of a job, ensuring that all assignments are delivered to a high quality and within agreed timescales, reporting directly to the Southern Region BSO partner. 

Another key aspect of the role will be taking responsibility for proactively contributing to the management of all company secretarial business development activity. This will include preparing pricing for new opportunities, production of proposals and collaborating on the day-to-day management of the pipeline of opportunities.

In addition to client facing work and business development activity you will also work to provide support to the wider company secretarial team on issues including resourcing, coaching and feedback to more junior members of staff, ensuring compliance with the stream’s policies and procedures and the firm’s risk management procedures.

You’ll be someone with:

Experience of using Diligent Entities (formerly Blueprint) company secretarial software. Ability to communicate and work with BDO staff at all levels in the UK and around the world along with directors of client companies and their professional advisers.

Desirable

Some familiarity with financial statements. Business development experience - ability to contribute to the identification and conversion of opportunities to sell work.

You’ll be able to be yourself; we’ll recognise and value you for who you are and celebrate and reward your contributions to the business. We’re committed to agile working, and we offer every colleague the opportunity to work in ways that suit you, your teams, and the task at hand.

At BDO, we’ll help you achieve your personal goals and career ambitions, and we have programmes, resources, and frameworks that provide clarity and structure around career development.
