Responsibilities
- Producing accurate and insightful monthly management accounts for your allocated restaurant portfolio
- Preparing monthly management accounts, including P&L reporting, balance sheet reconciliations, and detailed variance analysis against budget, forecast, and prior year.
- Posting and reviewing month-end journals, including accruals, prepayments, and depreciation.
- Completing balance sheet reconciliations and investigating any discrepancies.
- Supporting the Senior Management Accountant with the production of monthly reporting packs.
- Ensuring financial information is accurate, timely, and clearly communicated.
- Analyzing restaurant performance and identifying the key drivers behind sales, labour, food costs, margins, and profitability.
- Highlighting risks, opportunities, and areas where performance could be improved.
- Translating financial information into clear, practical recommendations for non-finance stakeholders.
- Developing and improving reporting packs, dashboards, and KPIs so that leaders have the information they need to make better decisions.
