Our client is looking to recruit a Qualified Chartered Accountant to fill the position of Financial Controller. The main purpose of the role will be to support the Finance Director by taking primary responsibility for the maintenance and production of company accounts, including the management of Partners' accounts.
Having recently implemented an integration project management and accounts package it is expected the right candidate will have experience in this area as well as 2-4 years' post-qualification experience, some of which will ideally have been gained within private practice.
Main Duties and responsibilities:
• Produce cashflow forecasts for the company.
• Control working capital arrangements on a day-to-day basis, in accordance with the agreed plan.
• Maintain key data within the company's accounting systems.
• Produce monthly accounts for review by the Finance Director.
• Produce draft summary accounts information following the end of the financial year.
• Manage the completion of all required year-end tasks, with support from other members of the Finance team as required.
• Co-ordinate arrangements for and ensure the smooth running of the company's audit, providing information and analysis to the Auditors as required.
• Generate draft budgets for the company in time for the start of each new financial year, for review by the Finance Director and the Management Board.
• Monitor expenditure and financial performance against agreed budget throughout the year, undertake variance analysis and provide exception reports and commentary to the Finance Director on a monthly basis.
• Liaise with HMRC regarding tax issues (including VAT) as required.
• Manage Payroll for the company's overseas office, liaising with regional Directors and the Human Resources Department as required.
• Deal with Company Secretarial matters on behalf of the UK LLP and subsidiaries.
• Maintain arrangements for the company's insurance policies, liaising with brokers as required.
This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate who has the ability to deal confidently and effectively with directors, staff and external advisers. It would also be an advantage to have knowledge and experience of dealing with personal tax matters.
