* Prepare and submit VAT returns, manage journals, the fixed asset register and year end stock valuations
* Prepare & maintain cashflow forecasts, produce monthly management accounts, detailed sales and debtor analysis reports with commentary plus quarterly board meeting packs
* Prepare year-end management packs for external accountants and assist in completing the year-end accounts and tax returns, plus answer/solve queries from the Partners’ own accountants
What We’re Looking For:
* A qualified, or qualified by experience (QBE), bookkeeper or finance manager with at least 5 years in a similar role
* Proficiency in all areas of Sage Line 50 Accounts is essential, together with strong Excel and reporting skills
* A self-motivated, highly organised and diligent person with excellent attention to detail
* A confident communicator able to present financial data clearly to non-finance colleagues
* A flexible, team-oriented individual with a continuous improvement mindset who takes pride in the accuracy of their work
The role is approx. 24hrs/week minimum with potential to increase hours in the long term. We are happy to consider applications requesting flexible hours/school hours as long as these are worked between our core office hours of 8am – 5pm.
This is a great opportunity to join a hardworking team in an established business where finance is key to its future success. If you’re looking for a role where your contribution will make a tangible difference, we’d love to hear from you.
