LOCATION

THE ROLE
The Assistant Cash & Bank Accountant is a new role in the Treasury Back Office team arising from the efficiencies gained from our recent finance transformation programme. The role reflects realigned responsibilities based on complexity and risk for the Cash & Bank Accounting personnel, and supports greater process improvement and automation in the function.
The primary responsibility for the role is to prepare reconciliations for lower-risk and lower-volume bank accounts, and process tenant deposit and lease-related transactions. The role will help support continuous improvement of cash and banking controls, and assist with identifying further opportunities for automation. While being an escalation point for queries and exceptions identified to the Senior Cash & Bank Accountant, the role will also gain exposure to supporting our month-end close activities and actions taken to resolve reconciling items.
