Salary:
CompetitiveOverview BDO's Technical Standards Group (TSG) provides technical support, training and quality control services on financial reporting and assurance matters. Predominantly internally focussed, the department's principal client is the firm's audit stream but it also interacts with tax, corporate finance and forensic services teams. TSG comprises approximately 40 staff and is led by two partners. Responsibilities Financial Reporting Advisory (FRA) is the sub-team within TSG that focusses on financial reporting. Its principal activities are:
• Reviewing the annual reports of publicly traded and other higher risk clients, to confirm compliance with financial reporting standards and relevant company law and regulatory requirements;
• Providing clear and practical solutions to ad hoc technical accounting queries relating to IFRSs, UK GAAP and related company law and regulation;
• Developing financial reporting tools and guidance for use by the firm's partners and staff;
• Preparing and presenting financial reporting training, updates and seminars both internally and externally; and
• Writing articles and other materials on financial reporting matters for internal and external communications.An assistant manager in our team would be expected to undertake work in all of these areas, with the appropriate levels of support from more senior colleagues.Most of the FRA team are based in London, and this is the ideal location for this role, but a small number work out of our Manchester office and visit London from time to time. Members of FRA are occasionally required to visit other offices to provide training and local liaison.The role would be particularly suited to an individual with experience of working within the technical department of another major firm of accountants, although it would also be suited to an auditor demonstrating a strong technical aptitude looking to move into a technical role. Requirements
• A good working knowledge of IFRSs, UK GAAP (FRSs 101 and 102), the Companies Act and related regulation, with the ability to apply that knowledge, with appropriate support from other team members, to complex financial reporting issues and provide practical and supportable solutions.
• Practical experience of the review of the annual reports of private and publicly traded companies.
• A genuine desire to develop your knowledge and experience both through research and discussion with more experienced members of the team.
• Strong communication and presentation skills.
• A desire to work as part of a close-knit team and as well as the ability to work as a self-directed individual.
• Good interpersonal skills, with ability to create productive relationships across the firm and network and to influence other senior professionals.
• ACA or similar professional accountancy qualification, with at least one year of PQE.Our Agency PolicyBDO has a commitment to building relationships directly with candidates (and agencies) in our local markets and as such, we do not accept speculative CVs from agencies.
