Your new role
In this newly created part-time accountant job, you will be solely responsible for producing accounts to trial balance across the ledgers, posting journals, and preparing monthly and annual financial statements, which will involve analysis of income, budget variances across departments, and management reports detailing year-to-date, year-on-year variances through to supporting the Office Manager and Trustees at financial year-end audits.

Your other key responsibilities will be ensuring supplier invoices are paid, preparing & submitting quarterly VAT submissions, undertaking various bank account reconciliations, managing various income streams and overall cashflow management.
