Senior Management Accountant- FTC

Beeks Group is a leading managed cloud provider exclusively within financial markets. Founded in 2011 and listed on the London Stock Exchange, we employ over 100 team members across the globe. We have a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Management Accountant maternity cover (12 month FTC). The role will be based at our Head Office in Renfrew, offering access to fitness facilities and wellness programmes.

The Role

We are looking for candidates who bring a strong academic background and are CA, CIMA or ACCA qualified with at least 3 years’ post-qualification experience in industry. This is not a traditional accountancy role – we need a candidate with strong business acumen, commercial curiosity, and intellect to engage in strategic discussions, form decisions around value creation, and consider the long-term goals of the business.

Responsibilities

• Full responsibility for preparing, reviewing and submitting the monthly management accounts within timely deadlines, including reconciliation of balance sheet accounts across the full group in line with month-end timetable.
• Preparation of timely and accurate group consolidation including IFRS journals.
• Preparation of the monthly board pack with detailed analysis and supporting data.
• Review of monthly payroll across three entities.
• Review of fortnightly supplier payment runs and approval of bank payments to a certain limit.
• Supervision and line management of assistant accountants, overseeing daily tasks, mentoring and coaching.
• Key point of contact for statutory audits, reviews and any external taxes.
• Supporting the CFO and Group Financial Controller with key statutory adjustments, accounting standard changes and other technical accounting challenges.
• Support and prepare cash flows and cash flow forecasts.
• Support the Group Financial Controller and CFO to produce annual budgets and rolling forecasts including Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capex schedules.
• Other ad-hoc tasks such as VAT, overseas taxes and compliance.
• Cross-company communications with operational, sales and other key budget holders.
• Promote a continuous improvement approach to business policy and processes, implementing positive change.

What we are looking for

• Strong commercial acumen and understanding of key business drivers.
• Experience in a similar industry-based role.
• Confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work to tight deadlines.
• Self-motivated with a 'can do' attitude.
• Flexible and able to work on a variety of ad-hoc projects.
• Ability to explain financial metrics and concepts to other functional managers.
• Strong organisational skills.
• ACCA, CIMA, ICAS or ICAEW qualified.

Candidates will be selected not just on the basis of their financial credentials and capabilities but also on their desire to work collaboratively with a team, engage with the leadership of an organisation, and manage changing priorities in an often ambiguous environment. Energy, good people skills and a focus on performance delivery will be essential.

Benefits

• A competitive salary.
• Pension 6% employer contribution.
• Holidays - 33 days per year.

We are an Equal opportunity employer.
