Senior Finance Officer
A growing, technology-enabled logistics business with international operations is looking for an experienced Senior Finance Officer at its Northamptonshire site. This is a hands-on role at the heart of our head office function, with real opportunity to support the Finance team, and develop within a growing company.
About the Role
This role has arisen due to the implementation of a global finance platform that facilitates the in-house transfer of non-UK financial operations (Poland and Holland). This will enable the successful applicant to build the internal reporting for these operations from the ground up, whilst ensuring that all transactions are recorded accurately. The reporting required for these operations will be developed over time; however, at a minimum, it will cover cash flow forecasting and analysis of suppliers' and customers' activity. Currently, this role would oversee 1 member of staff; however, this will increase as our operations expand globally.
Key Responsibilities
Financial Operations and Reporting
- Maintain accurate financial records, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger entries.
- Assist in preparing monthly management accounts and financial reports.
- Perform bank reconciliations and balance sheet reconciliations.
Billing and Revenue Management
- Oversee client invoicing based on contracts, service level agreements (SLAs), and volume metrics.
- Ensure timely and accurate billing for warehousing, transportation, and value-added services.
- Investigate and resolve billing discrepancies with internal teams and clients.
