Job Title
* Office & Finance Manager
Job Description
We're The Grill Pub Co and our guests' experience along with our teams are our main priority. We have a growing portfolio of gorgeous restaurants, pubs, and hotels. You can learn more about us at www.grill.co.uk.
We’re looking for someone to join our Head Office team based in Newcastle-under-Lyme as an Office & Finance Manager. This is an office-based role for 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday. There may be some flexibility with working hours, days, and arrangements, dependent on the candidate and providing all tasks are completed.
You will be responsible for the entire financial reporting of the business. You will use Xero for daily bookkeeping, ensuring the Director has the latest management accounts information to hand. You will ensure all suppliers, accounts, and invoices are up to date on Xero, making necessary inquiries with the individual locations and suppliers to rectify any concerns or mistakes. You will work in partnership with our external accountant, ensuring they have all the necessary information to file VAT returns and produce the end-of-year accounts. You will use integrations with Xero to complete weekly payroll, ensuring all team members are paid on time.
You will be the ‘key contact’ between our individual locations and Head Office, along with being the first port of call for suppliers. You will support the senior management team and the individual sites with daily administration, ensuring that all necessary systems, procedures, and policies are followed.
This is a fast-paced, challenging role and the individual will need to liaise with and manage communication from multiple trading locations – all of which have their own individual challenges, needs, and queries. Given the nature of our team, who spend a lot of time visiting our individual locations, you will need to be able to often work alone.
Given the size of our business, this role provides a mix of day-to-day low-level administration tasks, along with requiring the post holder to be strategic and complete high-level tasks. As we grow, you’ll grow with us, including our Head Office team.
What You Will Be Doing…
* Daily bookkeeping using Xero, ensuring all bank, supplier & internal reconciliations are completed.
* Processing payroll weekly, ensuring relevant compliance checks are completed.
* Managing and reporting on all financial and accounting operations to the individual locations, senior management team, and the Director.
* Providing support with the preparation of the budget and financial forecasts using apps connected to Xero.
* Carrying out cost analysis.
* Telephone handling, liaising with each location, suppliers, and company Directors, along with fielding any general inquiries.
* Liaising with external accountants, ensuring they have everything they need to file VAT returns on time and end-of-year accounts.
* Covering some aspects of HR administration, including tracking sickness and holidays.
* Processing expense claims and supplier payments.
The Experience You’ll Need:
* Experience and a high level of competency in Xero.
* Understanding of payroll and compliance.
* An ACA/ACCA/CIMA or similar part qualification.
* High level of competency with IT software such as Microsoft Word and Excel.
* Appreciation of working to deadlines and budgets.
* Excellent timekeeping and ability to manage own workload to ensure tasks are completed as they fall due.
* Experience of producing weekly and monthly management reports and forecasts.
What We Can Offer…
* A salary of between £28,000.00 and £32,000.00 dependent on experience.
* Free lunch provided daily from our restaurant menu.
* Onsite free parking.
* Company laptop.
* Full-time 40-hour a week permanent contract.
* Social events such as invitations to charity events and yearly annual overnight employee awards.
* Excellent training and progression opportunities, such as the ability of a fully funded Degree Apprenticeship.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who may want to grow into a more senior role as the company continues to expand.
Please apply with an up-to-date CV and covering letter outlining your qualifications and experience, and we will be in touch with you to arrange an interview.
