What you will do:
In this role you will be responsible for preparing monthly management accounts, reconciling bank statements, processing invoices and payments, and supporting the annual audit process. Day-to-day work involves reviewing expense claims from various departments, following up on outstanding receivables, and ensuring that all financial transactions are recorded accurately in the accounting system. You will also prepare cash flow projections and variance analysis reports for the finance manager. The position requires someone who can handle high volumes of transactional data while maintaining accuracy and meeting strict monthly reporting deadlines. You will work closely with the procurement team to verify purchase orders and with the HR team to process payroll-related entries. Experience with tax computations including PAYE, VAT, and withholding tax is essential because the company relies on this role to file statutory returns on time. Familiarity with accounting standards such as IFRS for SMEs will be an advantage, particularly when preparing financial statements for management review.
