Finance Manager / Accountant in Norwich

Hays Accountancy & Finance are delighted to be partnering with an expanding consultancy business that operates in an evolving sector that requires a commercially driven Finance Manager / Accountant to take the lead on the accounting duties, as well as support the Directors with strategic financial growth. Any experience of working with an organisation that operates overseas and has an understanding of Dual Taxation Agreements (DTA) would be of interest.

As the Finance Manager / Accountant, 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.

The company works with a wide range of customers across the UK and internationally, which involves recharging services between its group of companies, extensive reconciliations, year-end accounts including balance sheet review, profit & loss reporting along with production of financial statements.

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 recharge these costs to the end customer. Any experience of overseas business operations would be of interest, as ideally, they would like the successful candidate to have experience of or an understanding of International Tax and Dual Taxation Agreements (DTA), where a UK business who operates internationally is not taxed twice for the same income. If you are aware of DTA's you may also have experience of UK Offshore VAT frameworks and HMRC's VAT Notice 741A regarding "place of supply".

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.

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. They also offer 24 days holiday plus bank holidays, 3% & 5% pension, car parking on-site with 5-days working in the office based on the northern outskirts of Norwich.
