Financial Accountant

My client, a commercial investor with £5 billion in assets, is seeking a Financial Accountant.

As the Financial Accountant, you will be responsible for ensuring the accurate and timely reporting of monthly management and statutory accounts, as well as ensuring all tax requirements are met.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys collaboration and being part of a team. You will play a key role in the management and development of the management accountants and provide support to the Senior Finance Team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Production of monthly financial accounts for each subsidiary, including P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow.
• Support month-end management reporting for UK and Group Finance Directors.
• Completion of VAT returns.
• Quarterly bank covenant reporting, including financials, covenants, and ratio analysis.
• Preparation of tax packs and liaison with tax advisors.
• Review of annual tax computations.
• Preparation of iXBRL accounts for HMRC submission.
• Management of treasury and foreign accounts.
• Support to the FP&A team.
• Involvement in ad hoc analysis and projects as needed.

Applicants for this role should have a willingness to learn, proactively identify improvements, and work to tight deadlines. Ideally, you will have experience in the industry and possess strong system skills, including advanced Excel.

To apply you will ideally be qualified or be training towards a professional accounting qualification (CIMA, ACCA, ACA etc.) However, if you have a proven record of relevant experience it would still be worth applying and having a conversation.
