The Junior Accountant will take ownership across all areas of financial accounting for the regional business whilst ensuring all financial statements are recorded in alignment with the regulatory requirements. In conjunction, this accountant will prepare and oversee all VAT returns on a quarterly basis. With a reporting line to the Head of Finance, the accountant shall also be expected to manage all areas of transactional accounting, across accounts payable and receivable whilst also overseeing the reconciliation process along with general ledger maintenance.

The junior accountant shall also be required to support collections and any working capital, whilst also ensuring cashflow and work‑in‑progress reports can be completed for reporting purposes. These role responsibilities will also extend to the oversight and management of all the internal accounting and booking systems, to ensure both accurate data input and financial accounts preparation.

Our client will look to recruit a part‑qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CPA‑type) with a demonstrable background, working within a professional services organisation, along with experience of undertaking a ‘hands‑on’ operational finance and accounting‑based position. The successful candidate shall be required to understand areas of tax and regulatory matters within the regional markets, along with an ability to act as a liaison‑point with any internal or external audit partners.

The candidate shall ideally understand the concepts of working‑capital, cashflow positions and MIS reporting, to allow for business partnering and group reporting. On top of this, the candidate will be required to manage Excel, for analysis purposes, to a high level of proficiency whilst also being familiar with both in‑house accounting systems and ERP platforms. The nature of this organisation will require a candidate who is well‑versed across a broad range of finance functions, along with an ability to manage senior internal and external stakeholders.
