Job Description:
A key part of the role is enabling open and transparent financial management.

Skills
  • Process purchase manual and system generated charges, assist with reporting and transparency, ensure appropriate approvals and complete an audit trail.

  • Assist wider financial group with the P&L charging process: validate charge codes, investigate mis-postings, submit corrections/reclassifications (journals) where required, and confirm changes are reflected in the reporting period agreed.
  • Support budget holders with clear guidance on how costs should be raised and coded (e.g., common scenarios, correct cost centres/projects), promoting consistent and transparent charging.
  • Prepare regular P&L and cost reports (weekly/monthly as required): summarise actuals vs budget/forecast, highlight variances, and provide commentary and supporting detail to aid planning.
  • Assist with month-end close activities: review accruals and prepayments, ensure cut-off is applied correctly, and help resolve outstanding queries to deadlines.
  • Reconcile key accounts and resolve discrepancies promptly.
  • Maintain a transparent reporting pack: version-controlled templates, clearly labelled assumptions, and traceable source data so stakeholders can understand what has been charged, why, and when.
  • Respond to finance and stakeholder queries in a timely manner, explaining transactions in plain language and providing evidence where needed.
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes (e.g., recurring coding errors, approval bottlenecks), propose solutions, and help implement more efficient and compliant ways of working.
  • To organise and conduct monthly meetings with account holders, management and stakeholders, giving clarity and providing explanation and resolutions to an outcome.
