Accountant

As the Accountant, your responsibilities will include:

• Prepare and sign off Accountant's Reports in accordance with CMP scheme requirements.
• Design and refine the internal process for delivering Accountant's Reports
• Utilise purpose-built tools and AI-supported workflows to streamline audit preparation and reporting, allowing more time for expert analysis and less for manual admin.
• Conduct remote audits of client accounting records through online submissions and virtual meetings (Zoom/Teams) - with no travel required.
• Review and evaluate client bank reconciliations, client money handling practices, and trust account controls to ensure compliance with scheme standards.
• Support and guide clients through the CMP audit process, translating technical requirements into clear, practical advice.
• Assess the demand for additional outsourcing services including statutory accounts, year-end financial statements, management reporting, payroll, and bookkeeping when needed.
• Support wider finance operations as needed including bookkeeping, payroll, management reporting, and year-end accounts - particularly during the initial build phase of the Accountant's Report function, with the view to recruiting additional resource as demand grows.
• Collaborate across teams, presenting findings and recommendations clearly to both financial and non-financial stakeholders.
