We are actively recruiting for a Financial Accountant to join a large retail business based in contemporary offices in Surrey. Paying £40000 - £45,000 and an excellent benefit package. This is an incredibly varied and challenging role that would suit a strong newly qualified accountant who has relevant experience in producing management accountants. You will be required to support the financial manager by monitoring performance of the division.
This role would suit someone with a strong academic background who is looking to make that first move out of practice or someone looking to lead a blue chip business wanting a more varied role. This position would offer someone a chance to take ownership for some really exciting projects; it is offering good exposure to development and marketing teams and could be a good stepping stone into a Commercial Controller role.
The Role
A strong assistant financial accountant is required to join the existing finance team. Key responsibilities will involve preparing timely and accurate financial reporting for the UK entities and preparing month end journals. Part of the role will see you performing detailed analysis and commentary of month-end results for sales versus budgeting. These will be included in monthly management reporting packs. You will be reviewing reconciliations, following up on them and following up on issues arising out of the management accounting process. You will need to be a good communicator and liaise with transactional shared services offshore to ensure timely accurate month end reporting. Part of the role will see you supporting annual and periodic budgeting and re-forecasting. You will assist in statutory, tax and legal compliance as well as monthly/quarterly vat returns. Part of the role will see you supporting year end audit, assisting in inter-company and VAT and comply with group policies. Also any other ad-hoc duties as and when required.
Youre Profile
The successful commercial Accountant will be newly qualified ACA or ACCA with an audit background. You will have advanced excel skills. You will be fully IT literate with a can do attitude that means you can work in a team. You will have good communication skills and be a self-starter. You must be able to confidently communicate with non-finance staff and have commercial awareness. If you are working in Audit or as a Financial Accountant or Financial Analyst then this could be an exciting next step.
