2. Assessing existing banking facilities and suggesting alternative means of funding growth.
3. Preparing all statutory filings at year end.
4. Managing VAT and Corporate Tax administration.
5. Establishing some foundation management reports to enable better financial planning.
6. Managing the ledgers and maintaining a tight position on working capital and cash.
This is an ideal role for a talented finance professional seeking an entrepreneurial role in an SME.
The ideal candidate will be:
1. A qualified finance professional with experience as a Financial Controller or Finance Director (or equivalent).
2. Strong grasp of basic accounting principles, including preparation of statutory accounts.
3. Possessing an entrepreneurial approach, seeking innovative ways to support an owner and grow the business.
