OMB Director

A successful High Growth firm is looking for an OMB Director capable of taking genuine ownership of a substantial owner-managed business portfolio while helping shape the next stage of its growth.

The firm is already one of the strongest performers in its region, highly profitable and continuing to invest heavily in people. Growth here is being driven by demand from an established OMB client base and the need to create additional senior capacity.

As OMB Director, you would work closely with an Audit and Accounts Director who is currently operating at capacity.

The portfolio includes entrepreneurial start-ups, growing owner-managed companies and established OMB clients with turnover of up to around £15m.

Where you'll add value

• Acting as a senior adviser to owner-managers and their leadership teams
• Taking responsibility for a significant OMB portfolio
• Leading complex accounts and business advisory assignments for owner-managed clients
• Handling technical accounting questions that fall outside routine compliance
• Meeting clients regularly and building strong personal relationships with business owners
• Helping identify new OMB work from existing and prospective clients
• Coaching managers and supporting succession across the OMB team
• Working closely with the wider leadership group on OMB growth strategy

This is very much a relationship-led OMB environment. Clients in Cardiff are accustomed to sitting down with their advisers and discussing problems properly rather than sending requests into a faceless central inbox.

The right OMB Director will therefore combine strong technical capability with the judgement and communication skills needed to advise an owner when the answer isn't immediately obvious.

Experience from an independent, regional or mid-tier accountancy firm, ideally with a genuine focus on owner-managed businesses, is likely to translate particularly well.

The opportunity

There is significant headroom here.

The firm has an established history of internal progression, numerous long-serving employees and a leadership team actively developing its next generation of directors.

A successful OMB Director would have a realistic opportunity to progress further as the OMB offering expands across Cardiff and the wider region.

Package

• Senior OMB position within a highly profitable firm
• Strong long-term progression
• Exposure to entrepreneurial and growing owner-managed businesses
• Significant investment behind future OMB expansion
• Collaborative, family-owned culture
• Regular face-to-face client interaction

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants greater influence over an OMB portfolio while remaining close to clients and the commercial side of accountancy.
