The Company
Able Bridge Recruitment are thrilled to be working with a business who are true specialists/market leaders in their field. We are partnering them in the recruitment of a client accounting manager, however, please be aware that although the job may look like it is practice based, this is not the case.
Benefits include
Hybrid working
Decent pension scheme
Holiday entitlement
Corporate benefits to be discussed on application (the benefits would reveal our clients identity)!!!
This vacancy, the result of a restructure and drive to improve efficiencies and process will report directly into the head of finance/finance director.
Being responsible for a team of approximately 10, you will be responsible for the day to day management of a functioning finance department, in effect being the finance manager in deputy to the finance director.
The Responsibilities
The purpose of this role is to lead the financial reporting, operational finance and transactional team in delivering a first in class service to both internal clients as well as external parties. Your primary objective is to stabilise, motivate and enthuse your team. The secondary objective (once objective one is met), is to build long lasting relationships internally and with customers (frequent meetings).
On a day-to-day basis you can expect to be responsible for the following;
Management of a team of approximately 10 finance professionals, delegating tasks, motivating and mentoring.
Review of financial accounts ensuring statutory obligations are satisfied.
Review and oversite of banking transactions to ensure controls are managed and maintained.
Ownership and control of banking transactions including the authorisation of banking permissions.
VAT return oversite.
Process improvement and staff development.
The Requirements
We would love to see applications from fully qualified accountants, however the ability to motivate and mentor junior staff members is more important than a formal qualification. The team are needing support and development so strong team management skills are essential, as are technical accounting competencies. The role will ideally evolve into more of an account management role so a high degree of client interaction will be needed. As such we are looking for professional, highly skilled communicators (both verbal and in written form) are essential.
This is a grade A opportunity for a career hungry individual potentially making a move from practice into industry (but not exclusively).
Our client does not hold a license to offer study support so will only consider applicants who are able to work unrestricted within the UK and who are based in the immediate vicinity.
If you are interested in hearing more detail about this role or would like to have a confidential chat about a potential career move, please do not hesitate in contacting me.
