Job Description

Position: Company Accountant

Salary: circa £24k (based on experience)

Start date: September/October 2010

Due to rapid expansion, a vacancy has arisen for the post of Company Accountant to perform certain tasks for 3 companies in a group. The company offering this exciting opportunity markets and distributes medical devices throughout UK and has a very limited amount of export business. There is also a related sales and marketing company that exists to manage the sales/support process and a parent company. The group is growing rapidly and in just its 3rd year of trading, expects turnover to reach £2.5m. Most day-to-day transactions are carried out through the main company, although reconciliations and management accounts need to be prepared for the limited number of transactions for the other two companies in the group.

The Company Accountant will report directly to the MD. Familiarity with Microsoft Excel is essential. Knowledge of accounting software is desirable. Already in post is a very capable office administrator who is currently responsible for order processing and debt chasing.

Based at Markham Vale, the successful applicant should either hold a degree in Accounting & Finance or similar qualification or be able to demonstrate industry experience over a number of years and be capable of carrying out the responsibilities listed below:

Overseeing of Daybook entries Management of Purchase & Sales Ledgers Supplier payments Bank reconciliations Stock management Sales analysis reporting VAT returns Month end journals (accruals, prepayments, depreciation, stock adjustments etc) Monthly management accounts preparation

The size of the company dictates that, on occasions, the successful applicant has to be prepared to take on business tasks not normally associated with bookkeeping or accountancy. As the Company is small but expanding, this is an excellent opportunity to enter ‘on the ground floor’ and help take the business to the next level.
