Title: Client Financial Controller
Hours: Semi-Flexible / 20-25 hrs per week
Salary: £45k to £65k pro rata, subject to experience
About you
We’re looking for a Client Financial Controller to join our small but growing in-house team. As our client base grows significantly, you’ll have the skills and character to wow our clients with impeccable delivery.
The right person will be:
About the role
There are four key responsibilities for the right candidate below, but you won’t be doing the exact same thing week in week out!
There will be lots of variation – you can expect this role to evolve over time according to your strengths and interests, and the needs of the business.
Key areas of responsibility:
Client Management
Practice Management
With more than 60 clients, we have over 100 recurring deadlines to hit every month.
Client Communications
Prompt replies to client enquiries are critical. Poor responsiveness from their existing accountant is the main reason prospective clients give when they seek us out.
Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping is the foundation of our higher value reporting and advisory services, and a central component of our differentiated offering.
We sell the service as a route to freeing up the time of our clients, but that theme of freeing up time carries through our own work too. We don’t handle paper, we use software to process receipts and invoices. We put our efforts into driving as much efficiency and automation as possible, so that what is traditionally a mundane task becomes a slick process, enabling our skills in identifying errors and opportunities to come to the fore.
How an in-house role works
Given the nature of the role and the cloud-based tools that we use, there can be flexibility on how the working week is structured. Whilst this isn’t a home-based role, there is scope for home-working on occasion. Similarly, working hours will be structured, but can be agreed to fit around other life commitments such as school hours and even reduced hours during school holidays.
