Your new company
Hays Accountancy & Finance are supporting a niche business based north of Norwich who are looking for a commercially driven Accountant to play a pivotal role in this £14m consultancy business that operates in the UK and internationally, so any experience of overseas operations would be of interest.

Your new role
As the Management Accountant / Finance Manager, you will take overall responsibility for the day-to-day transactional finances with an assistant across the group of companies and produce monthly management accounts with detailed analysis of Head Office costs as well as operational costs across various projects which will require working closely with project managers and consultants.
As the business is entering a period of growth, they are keen to further develop their monthly management pack to give them more visibility of their ongoing project costs and job costs, which will require you to work closely with the Project Managers and Senior Management Team to analyse these costs, make the necessary adjustments and re-charge these cost to the end customer. You will be a line manager to their accounts clerk who covers some of the transactional finance, so this role will be very much a hands-on role using Xero, supporting the Senior Management Team and business-owner with accurate financial reports to manage operational costs as well as cashflow.

This is an ideal opportunity to take more responsibility for day-to-day finances as well as implementing new management accounting packs to improve the overall financial visibility of the business and projects.

You will be a commercially strong Part-Qualified or Qualified (CIMA / ACCA / ACA) accountant as you will play a pivotal role as the sole Finance Manager / Accountant managing the whole finance process through to year-end accounts, as well as budgeting, forecasting and cashflow analysis of this £14m business. It will be expected you will be confident in working with all levels of staff members across the business, including external consultants and project managers, in monitoring operational costs.
As explained earlier, any experience of reporting on overseas business operations and an understanding of Dual Taxation Agreements (DTA) would be of particular interest but are not essential.

What you’ll get in return
The organisation offers a generous benefit package and will pay between £45,000 - £50,000 + depending on experience and ability, along with a gross profit share after your 1st year of employment, which will be a substantial bonus.
