The role reports to the Group Head of Finance and the CEO.

- Group accounting across multiple legal entities
- Inter-company accounts, reconciliations, loans and recharges
- Monthly management accounts
- Balance sheet reconciliations and financial controls
- Corporation Tax
- VAT returns and VAT compliance
- PAYE and payroll accounting
- National Insurance liabilities
- CIS accounting and returns where applicable
- HMRC correspondence, enquiries and compliance

- Accruals, prepayments and fixed asset accounting
- Investigation and correction of accounting discrepancies
- Supporting budgeting and financial planning
- Maintaining strong financial records and audit trails
