To cover an internal move, the Corporate Finance team are seeking a Financial Accountant for a fixed term contract until 31 August 2024. Having experience preparing accounts and managing the auditor relationship, you will be a key part of our financial reporting processes.

What you will be doing:

When you join, you will guide us through our budget and planning process in the spring, whilst also preparing for interim audit. In between, you will prepare our monthly management accounts.

During the summer, your focus will be on year-end preparation and completion, then you will be the key point of contact for audit requests. Moving into autumn you will lead on other regulatory submissions, forecasting and management reporting.

Along the way you will be a key contributor to risk management, change management and system implementation projects.

Who you are:

  • A qualified accountant, you have previously prepared financial statements and monthly management accounts.
  • You are experienced in applying UK GAAP’s requirements.
  • You know the fundamental financial controls that must be working.
  • You have experience of challenging and coaching colleagues to make sure these are in place.
  • That said, you are capable of stepping away from the detail to look at things from a group perspective.
  • As a person, you enjoy delivering to the customer by the deadline; and you easily build warm, friendly relationships with your team.

Who we are:

We are the Corporate Finance team. We look after month-end, regulatory reporting, cash management and the setup of the university’s current finance system, Unit4 Business World.

Other teams rely on us for financial data. We take pride in understanding their needs then meeting their deadlines and exceeding their expectations. We want you to help us continue improving.

What’s in it for you:

The university offers 30 days holiday allowance (plus additional university closure days), a competitive pension scheme, and onsite childcare on our award-winning campus, amongst other benefits. We offer hybrid home and office working.

You will be encouraged to take the short courses the university offers and attend external training which is relevant to your role.

This position is offered on a fixed term basis until 31 August 2024. Hours are full time (36.25 hours per week). Job share arrangements may be considered.
