Job Description

Financial Controller, UK Accounting

RunRemote

• Demonstrate strong ownership and initiative rather than requiring step-by-step guidance for standard finance tasks. • Provide strategic financial insights and recommendations to help improve business operations and cash flow management. • Create, refine, and implement financial processes and structures that improve efficiency, visibility, and reporting accuracy. • Deliver work that is execution-ready, accurate, and requires minimal correction or follow-up from directors. • Contribute value at a senior level by identifying operational gaps, improving workflows, and supporting better financial decision-making. • Act as a trusted finance partner to leadership by maintaining strong financial hygiene, accountability, and process discipline. • Identify gaps and inefficiencies in existing systems and implement improvements. • Attend weekly pipeline meetings to stay aware of deal flow and work directly with individual Sales and Consulting leads to extract specific billing details. • Ensure insertion into relevant client email threads to capture PO numbers and billing contacts. • Maintain accurate data across HubSpot (Sales), QuickBooks (Finance), and cash flow models to prevent revenue double-counting or forecasting errors. • Monitor payment deadlines, issue reminders, and escalate to the Finance Director only when necessary. • Set up new client accounts and maintain up-to-date contact details. • Prepare and present weekly reports on pipeline status, invoicing, and pending POs to directors. • Work with admins to ensure all expenditures are accounted for, chasing missing receipts, and uploading them correctly to AutoEntry. • Reconcile supplier invoices, batch payments, grade them by urgency, and present clean payment runs for the Finance Director's approval. • Collaborate with the Finance Director to maintain cash flow documents, budgets, and forecasts. • Monitor ledgers to spot erroneous spending, unused subscriptions, or overspending, and flag these for action. • Daily reconciliation of bank feeds to ensure real-time accuracy. • Handle journals, accruals, and prepayments to prepare accounts for accountant's review. • Generate standard financial reports, including Aged Debtors and P&L snapshots. • Maintain a pristine digital filing system for audit trails.
