This is a broad and varied role with key responsibilities including:
  • Prepare consolidated group financial statements and statutory accounts
  • Support interim and year-end audits, liaising with external auditors
  • Assist with accounting for investment portfolios
  • Ensure accurate reporting of investment balances and performance
  • Support month-end reporting, including journals and reconciliations
