Divisional Management Accountant Basildon, Essex Up to £60,000 A newly created role, and a good one for a qualified accountant who wants ownership rather than just feeding numbers up the chain.You''ll act as finance owner for a defined set of entities within the Record-to-Report function of a growing Accounting Centre of Excellence, in a private-equity-backed, buy-and-build business. Real responsibility from day one: owning month-end close, producing the PandLs and balance sheets, keeping the balance sheet clean and reconciled, and being the person who can explain what''s moving and why.It''s also a build role. The CoE model is still taking shape, so there''s room to tighten controls and shape how things are done - not inherit someone else''s spreadsheet and keep it ticking over.Day to day, you''ll own month-end close for your assigned entities and hit the deadlines, prepare journals, PandLs, balance sheets and reconciliations, support group reporting, consolidation and the year-end audit, prepare and submit VAT returns, and handle variance analysis against budget and prior period.You''ll need to be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, with solid month-end close and reporting experience and a good grip on balance sheet reconciliations and controls. Strong Excel is a must; multi-entity experience is a bonus.For more information, please contact Richard Newcombe at Oakhill Recruitment. ..... full job details .....
