Job description

NXTGEN have a fantastic opportunity for a Financial Accountant to join a forward-thinking and progressive business, built on great principles and values, at their offices in Norwich. The organisation continues to experience organic and sustained growth and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to support the business in achieving its future goals and objectives. As Financial Accountant, you will join a high-performing technical reporting team, taking responsibility for the preparation of financial statements across a number of subsidiary businesses. You will also have the opportunity to support the Finance Manager with consolidated reporting, ensuring the board have reporting packs within demanding deadlines. This Financial Accountant role will also allow the successful candidate to support with VAT returns and tax computations, in partnership with the wider finance team. As you will be part of a business that champions continuous improvement and quality financial data, you will also have the opportunity to identify process efficiencies, working with colleagues across the Finance team as required, giving you plenty of opportunities to add value.

Key responsibilities within the role will include:

1. Preparation of monthly financial statements for a number of UK based business subsidiaries
2. Support with the production of consolidated group reports when required
3. Review cash flow forecasts and support with cash management activities for the business
4. Preparation of VAT submissions and review tax calculations
5. Liaise with colleagues across the wider finance team to understand subsidiary financial performance and any reporting anomalies
6. Support the wider group team with systems and process improvements

The successful candidate will ideally be a recently qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA or equivalent). Prior experience gained within an Accountancy firm is highly desirable and this role is ideally suited to those that are looking to make their first move from practice to industry. You will be able to demonstrate excellent communication skills given the need to work with a range of stakeholders, combined with an ability to influence decisions. A good working knowledge of UK GAAP is desirable with any Tax or VAT experience significantly advantageous but not essential. The successful candidate will be joining an organisation with a history of promoting internally so fantastic progression opportunities are available.

Salary DOE: £45,000-£50,000
