Summary

Permanent and Full-time (might consider reduced hours)
Carmarthenshire
£35-48,000 (for an AAT qualified person)
This is a largely standalone role with responsibility for the day-to-day-to-day operations of the finance function for a group of 3 businesses. Reporting to the Director, the external accountant, but working closely with the operations team across two sites, this role will see you manage and deliver all finance activities including
- Management accounts - Providing timely and accurate financial reports and advice to the Directors on the status of the various companies
- Cost savings analysis, identification opportunities and making recommendations on driving profit throughout the group
- Monthly reconciliation, including reconciliation of the financial records, bank statements and balance sheet control accounts
- Managing monthly payroll for up to 200 people & dealing with HMRC and NEST as appropriate.
- Accounts receivable - management of invoicing and customer debt (data entry is taken care of elsewhere in the team)
- Accounts payable - managing all supplier accounts (and again.....data entry is taken care of elsewhere in the team!)
- Assisting the Managing Director in the preparation and monitoring of budgets
- Oversight of the HR function
The role can be largely home-based, although you will be required to have a significant office presence for the critical handover period. The role is full time, but they will consider reduced hours or 4 full days.
The salary is negotiable and somewhat dependent on experience, but we would offer between 35 and 48 for an AAT qualified, experienced professional; they will consider paying more for a qualified Chartered Accountant.
To be considered, please apply by uploading your current, updated CV. For further information call Emma Lewis on 01792 642 042.
