- Managing invoices through the company's invoice discounting system.
- Processing purchase invoices and maintaining accurate records using Sage Line 50.
- Reconciling the company's £, $ and € bank accounts and invoice discounting on a regular basis.
- Maintaining and updating cashflow forecasts and providing visibility to the Directors on the company's cash position.
- Preparing payment runs for Director approval.
- Producing monthly management information, including budgets, MI and cashflow forecasts.
- Preparing monthly aged debtor and creditor reports.
- Supporting effective cashflow management and liaising with the Directors as required.
- Managing the quarterly VAT return process, including preparation, submission and reconciliation.
- Supporting the preparation of annual statutory accounts and liaising with the external accountant.
- Working with the Office Manager to track invoices, timesheets and payment packages.
- Monitoring and chasing outstanding submissions and dealing with any finance-related queries or issues.
- Carrying out credit control and following up with clients where required.
- Processing monthly expenses.
- Preparing the monthly consultant commission run.
- Supporting the six-monthly audit process and responding to queries from auditors.
- Managing the invoice discounting reconciliation, monthly reporting and any associated queries.
- Providing ad hoc financial analysis and support to the Directors as required.
