Description

Frustration Not the old school board game, how you feel at work.

Doing the job of an assistant manager/manager and not being recognised for your contribution and work can be exasperating. It might be what has resulted in you reading this job ad... But where are we going with this?


There is an opportunity for an
ambitious, qualified, and experienced Accountant to join our Cloud Accounting (we call it Outsourcing) team here at Carter Backer Winter LLP in an
Assistant Manager role.

Who are we? CBW is a Top 60, 17 Partner Accountancy Practice, with over 160 exceptional team members. Your potential team is 19 strong and operates under the marvellous leadership of Nicola, one of our directors.


The Assistant Manager role is a new level to the team and will be working closely with one of our Senior Managers whose portfolio is bursting at the seams And with more work being won,
an experienced pair of hands is required to come on board and manage your very own portfolio.


You wouldn't be expected to do this all on your own, your experience of delegating work, setting budgets, and
reviewing junior team members' work will be well used.

You would also be working with our outsourcing firm based in India, delegating work and reviewing.


This role is a 'reviewing not doing' role, providing guidance and training to junior team members, contributing to performance feedback on assignments and building relationships with clients, being the first point of contact for any clientqueries.


70% of your portfolio is statutory annual accounts, with the remaining a mixture of management accounts, VAT returns and providing general tax and accounting advice to clients. With regards to tax advice, anything complex would be referredto our Tax team.
