Leeds, United Kingdom Addleshaw Goddard Full time

PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

Due to the continued success of the firm, we are looking to recruit a Commercial Finance Accountant to join the Leeds based team.

Working as part of the Finance team which business partners the firm's Priority Client and Sector Business Development programmes, you will be a trusted advisor to key stakeholders, driving these two firmwide initiatives forward. With management responsibility for a small team of analysts, this role is responsible for performance reporting and provides valuable insight.

THE TEAM

The Business Development & Client Support team is responsible for providing financial analysis, reporting, and strategic support to internal teams and externals clients alike.

Their main objective is to support strategic decision-making by providing accurate and timely financial and non-financial data regarding sectors, matters and clients. In addition, the team provides insights on our priority clients and on the profitability of the work we are undertaking for them.

What sets the team apart is its ability to combine financial expertise with a deep understanding of the Firm's goals and objectives. They go beyond just providing financial analysis and reporting; actively contributing to business development by engaging with teams around the firm to drive profitable growth.

The BD & Client Support team provides an excellent introduction into the wider Group Finance team and as individuals gain experience and demonstrate strong performance, they may have the chance to take on more senior roles within the team or move into other areas of Finance.

What to expect in this role

In this role, you will:

Be a trusted business partner to stakeholders across the Priority Client and Sector Business Development programmes and wider Partnership, with a focus on delivering valuable insight. Take ownership of existing reporting, delivering timely and accurate information to key stakeholders and the wider business, whilst also continually developing and improving the reporting suite. Manage a small team of analysts, including prioritisation, coaching, objective setting and monitoring progress towards deadlines. Report to the Clients and Sectors Programme Finance Lead, and drive increased financial understanding and awareness with those two key firmwide initiatives.

your areas of knowledge and expertise

To be successful in this role:

You will have a relevant accountancy qualification (CIMA, ACA or ACCA). You will be experienced in dealing with a variety of senior stakeholders and be confident in influencing and challenging at a senior level. You will be a strong communicator who is able to distil complex information down to key takeaways and utilise multiple presentation formats to convey messages. You will have experience of delivering reporting solutions in a fast-paced organisation. You will be able to demonstrate experience of balancing regular deadlines with the delivery of longer-term projects and development. Strong IT literacy is essential, Microsoft Power BI and Excel being the two main reporting solutions (linked to AG practice management systems).

Desirables include:

Prior experience of managing and developing junior team members, pathing the way for further opportunities across AG Finance. Experience of the continual development and automation of reporting solutions and management information (designed to appeal to a wider (non-finance) audience). Experience of working in a similar professional services environment would be helpful but is not essential.
