This is an internal role, they are not recruiting for a client!

This is an opportunity to join a small HR and development consultancy based in Ottershaw, Surrey. They consist of about 10 people, split between the HR team, the L&D (learning and development) team and support team. However, they are also definitely one big friendly team! Typically, they help businesses by delivering HR support (such as recruitment or performance management), coaching, training, and larger organisational change or development projects (such as creating a learning organisation).

They are looking for a highly experienced, commercially minded individual specifically seeking a part-time role to join the team. You’ll be supporting their existing (remote) finance director and working closely with the office manager whilst also managing your own workload, adding value and being proactive in making improvements as they continue to grow, becoming an integral member of their small yet committed support team.

For this hands-on and varied part-time role, the successful candidate will be responsible for:
- Balancing accounts / account reconciliations / investigation of variances
- Processing monthly journals such as prepayments, and month-end procedures and reports
- Posting sales and purchase invoices and their associated payments, expense claims and credit notes
- Monitoring the debtors and creditors list, chasing unpaid accounts, managing supplier payments, providing weekly debtor and creditor reports
- Support the cash flow processes along with budgeting and forecasting
- Preparation of information for monthly payroll
- Support with preparation of quarterly VAT calculations and VAT returns
- Internal pensions administration
- Their ‘accounts@’ email address – electronic supplier and client invoice process, responding to supplier and client queries
- Planning and completing a diverse range of assignments to include providing ad-hoc financial analysis as required, and leading financial projects to improve accounting processes for the business while managing all financial administration

The ideal candidate will quickly be asked to manage some of these processes independently, so being able to demonstrate more advanced skills will set you apart.

The candidate should:
- Ideally be AAT qualified, although candidates who are qualified by experience will also be considered
- Have at least 5 years’ experience, particularly across the areas noted in responsibilities
- Be confident and experienced working with Sage 50 and Sage 50 Payroll
- Have strong working knowledge of MS Office, especially Excel
- Have an analytical and detailed working approach
- Be a great communicator (particularly spoken/verbally to work with a remote boss) and able to build internal and external relationships

Finally, as they are such a small team, they all muck in when needed, so the successful candidate will be flexible and open to taking on new responsibilities (within and outside of the finance team).
