Cost Accountant ofertas em Grã-Bretanha

Fully remote contract for a high profile charity. Healthy day rate.

The organisation is a respected not-for-profit entity committed to making a meaningful impact in its field.

• The role has arisen due to internal promotion opportunities against the general backdrop of a finance transformation programme and a rapidly growing overall organisation. The financial accounting team works very closely with the rest of finance, notably Financial Partnering, Planning & Analysis and Systems and Data, to be a true enabler to the organisation as it strives to end the devastation of dementia.
• Within financial accounting, whilst we are very close to completing the previous year end activities, work continues on ensuring that we are in a good position for the next year end and making further steps towards the vision of finance being the charity's single point of truth.
• Responsibilities in this period will include the delivery of certain projects (notably new SORP planning and implementation) as well as more business-as-usual activities (e.g., balance sheet reconciliations). The application of the principles of IFRS15 to a portfolio of contracts and IFRS16 to our lease arrangements will be key steps driven by this role to ensure our readiness for the new SORP.
• The position has no line management responsibilities, but we would expect the role to have lots of interaction across the finance teams and Society more widely.

• Technically strong qualified accountant, likely ACA. Direct experience of implementing major accounting standard changes (e.g., IFRS15, IFRS16) would be highly beneficial.
• Exposure to a larger corporate or charity environment - whether through audit or working in industry.
• Some experience working in industry - charity experience is a definite positive but not essential.
• Understanding of what a good control framework should be and demonstrable experience of improving processes.
• Strong communication / influencing skills with the ability to see and articulate the bigger picture, but equally happy to get stuck into the detail and possesses the skills to do so.
• Team player, able to work readily across departmental and hierarchical boundaries and comfortable operating in an environment where ambiguity is the norm as undergoing significant business change.

• Competitive daily rate
• 4 month interim role to start 1 October (or as near as possible to that)
• Fully remote working arrangement for enhanced flexibility.
• Opportunity to contribute to a meaningful cause in the not-for-profit sector.
• Collaborative environment focused on achieving organisational goals.
• Open to bringing someone on 4 days per week.
