Excellent communication skills and the ability to effectively train and educate staff on compliance matters also form a crucial part of this role.

The right person for this role is well-versed in accounting and compliance matters and possesses a strong ethical compass. If you are diligent, detail-oriented, and have a passion for ensuring compliance within the accounting industry, we would love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

1. Develop and implement compliance policies and procedures that align with accounting regulations and standards.
2. Evaluate the effectiveness of existing compliance programs, identify areas of improvement, and implement necessary changes.
3. Conduct compliance audits and reviews to ensure adherence to internal policies and external regulations.
4. Assist with adherence to legislative and regulatory matters.
5. Stay informed about legislative and regulatory requirements.
6. Train and educate staff on compliance matters.
7. Engage in the annual CPD planning process to identify relevant and sufficient CPD for the teams.
8. Monitor staff CPD records on an ongoing basis to ensure CPD is being carried out and evidenced appropriately, and ICAEW CPD regulations are being complied with.
9. There is also the opportunity to expand the role to include assisting with the design and production of training material to include recommending appropriate topics for inclusion.

Requirements

1. To succeed in this role, you are likely to already have your ACA or ACCA under your belt or will be expecting to qualify soon.
2. In-depth knowledge of accounting principles, regulations, and standards.
3. Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
4. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
5. Ability to effectively train and educate staff on compliance matters.
6. Familiarity with compliance software and tools is a plus.

From flexible working to a plethora of perks, enjoy genuine work-life balance. We believe that happy employees and happy teams = productivity and success.

You’ll get 26 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, and an extra day off for birthday celebrations. Need a bit extra? Just ask. Up to five extra days are purchasable.

Working with numbers, of course, you love a bargain – so you’ll enjoy the staff discounts on savings on mobile phones, utilities, clothes, and more.

Additional Information

Thanks to our commitment to flexible working, in this role you will have the opportunity to work at least partially from your home office. However, a regular presence on-site at one of our friendly South West offices would be required in order to build strong relationships with colleagues in this and other Old Mill teams.
