I have an attractive opportunity for a Financial Controller to join a Private Equity-backed medical consultancy business. This high-growth company has a cool office space that’s ideally located, with a fairly relaxed culture.
You will be reporting directly to the CFO and managing a direct report, so effective communication skills are a must. The ability to pick up new systems quickly and to self-manage your time are key to the role.
The contract is for 3-6 months, however there is a high likelihood that it will be extended and may transition into a permanent position.
The Role:
- Support the CFO in the preparation of budgets, financial forecasts and variance analysis.
- Assist in the preparation of monthly KPIs and project profitability.
- Prepare the monthly management accounts.
- Manage 1 direct report.
- Manage working capital, including banking and cashflow forecasts.
- Ensure quality control over financial transactions and financial reporting.
- Manage and comply with all statutory reporting requirements.
- Prepare all VAT returns and ensure compliance with reporting requirements.
- Manage the preparation of all tax computations.
- Prepare statutory accounts and manage the audit process.
- Manage all accounting operations including billing, AR, AP and general ledger.
- Develop and document business processes and accounting policies to maintain and strengthen internal controls.
- Produce ad-hoc reports and analysis.
The Requirements:
- ACA/ACCA/CIMA qualification.
- Experience working within smaller, high-growth SMEs.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Experience working within professional or business services.
- Experience working within private healthcare (desirable).
- Experience working for a Private Equity-backed business (desirable).
- Experience with Xero or Kimble (desirable).
The client is looking to start someone as soon as next week to complete a handover, so I can only consider applicants with up to 1 weeks’ notice.
