Purpose
We have an exciting opportunity for a technically strong Financial Accountant to join our London Head Office Accounts team.
With many routine accounting processes now automated or managed by regional hubs, this role is ideal for a proactive and inquisitive professional who thrives on solving problems, investigating anomalies, and ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial information.
If you’re looking for a position where your expertise truly matters — and where initiative can open doors to wider areas of accounting — this is the perfect next step.
Key Responsibilities
The list below provides an indication of the duties. Opportunities to expand into broader accounting topics will be available for those who show capability and enthusiasm.
General Accounting
- Review, analyse, and maintain financial records and general ledger entries, ensuring the accuracy of automated postings.
- Investigate unusual transactions, imbalances, and system anomalies, identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions.
- Support quarterly and year-end audit reviews, providing clear and robust explanations for areas under responsibility.
- Prepare statutory returns for governmental and regulatory bodies (Intrastat, CIS, ONS surveys), ensuring compliance and data accuracy.
