The FirmOur client is one of the UK’s leading accountancy and business advisory firms, known for advising ambitious, entrepreneurial and high-growth businesses as much as the largest corporates. Its Advisory practice spans strategy, operations, technology and risk, and has built a strong reputation for combining technical depth with genuinely commercial, relationship-led delivery - regularly involved in some of the market’s most interesting deals and business transformations. The OpportunityThe firm’s Model Build team works directly with clients - both independently and alongside colleagues across the wider business - building bespoke financial and operational models that support M&A transactions, debt refinancing, operational restructuring, and ongoing management forecasting. As Manager, you’ll take day-to-day ownership of model build engagements: leading the design and build of complex, bespoke models (developed primarily in Excel), managing multiple projects concurrently across a diverse range of sectors, and acting as a key client contact alongside more senior team members. You’ll also oversee and coach junior team members, reviewing their work to embed modelling best practice across the team. There’s a genuine growth angle too - the firm is actively investing in Data Visualisation capability, with structured training provided in Power Query and Power BI, giving this role a clear route into dashboard-led reporting and data analytics alongside core modelling work.
