SUMMARY:
We're looking for a Financial Accountant to run clean reconciliations with accurate management acc

POSITION INFO:

Some accountants process the numbers. Others want to know that the numbers are right, understand what sits behind them, spot when something doesn't make sense and take ownership of fixing it.

We're looking for the second kind.

This Financial Accountant opportunity will suit someone who gets genuine satisfaction from a clean reconciliation, an accurate set of management accounts and a finance function that runs the way it should.

You'll have your hands across the accounting function - from journals, reconciliations and reporting to tax, VAT, budgets and the annual audit. It's a role for someone who likes responsibility, enjoys solving discrepancies and doesn't need to be chased to get things over the line.

You'll make your mark by:

Keeping the financial information accurate, complete and reliable
Preparing monthly management accounts, reports, budgets, commentaries and financial statements
Getting into the detail of daily and monthly reconciliations and resolving discrepancies
Taking ownership of tax and VAT calculations, returns and compliance requirements
Maintaining strong financial controls and accurate accounting records
Preparing and verifying payments and supporting documentation
Coordinating the annual financial audit
Keeping a close eye on income and expenditure
Working confidently with management, colleagues, clients and other stakeholders
Helping coordinate the activities of accounting clerical staff

This could be you if...

You're meticulous without losing sight of deadlines. You question things when they don't look right. You communicate well, solve problems rather than pass them on, and integrity in your work is non-negotiable.

You'll need a BCom or equivalent degree, strong accounting and processing skills, and confidence working in Excel and MS Office. Pastel Evolution experience would be an advantage.

If you're ready for a Financial Accountant role where being accurate, accountable and on top of the detail genuinely matters, we'd like to hear from you.

Think this sounds like you? Let's talk.

Please note if you haven't heard back from us within two weeks of submitting your application, unfortunately your application has not been successful this time. We'd still love to stay connected, follow us online and keep an eye out for future opportunities that match your profile.
