Coventry, Coventry, United Kingdom University of Warwick Full time

The University of Warwick's Finance Office is seeking to appoint a Finance Manager to join the Group Accounting Team. The team covers both Management Accounting (consolidated results) and Financial Reporting for the University. The Group Accounting Team is responsible for statutory reporting for the University from the consolidated Financial Statements to the OfS (Office for Students) and other funding bodies.

As the central hub of the Finance office, the Group Accounting Team has the unique position of reporting across all areas of the University from Academic departments to Administration and Commercial activities.

We are looking for a qualified accountant with a good honours degree, a pro-active individual with excellent technical accounting knowledge, strong excel skills, with experience of preparation and analysis of consolidated financial information. The individual should be well organised with the ability to meet strict reporting deadlines.

About the role

The role will cover the financial coordination and reporting of certain centrally managed funding streams, and the preparation and review of the University's accounting information, including:

  • quarterly management accounts and year end statutory accounts.
  • financial plans.
  • tracking and financial reporting of spend on the specific funding streams.
  • advising key stakeholders to inform funding allocation decisions, and ensuring compliance with funding rules.
  • preparation of committee papers and supporting analysis.
  • Monitoring of endowment funds and preparation of annual financial statements for a charitable trust.

In addition, you will support the Finance Office and Group Accounting colleagues in other areas by providing accurate and timely management information to senior University management across academic departments, commercial activities and other ad hoc tasks, in order to aid planning, control and decision-making, especially in the deployment of University resources. Your excel and data analysis skills will be an important factor throughout this work.

About you

You will have an honours degree or equivalent and will draw on technical expertise gained in obtaining a professional accounting qualification. You should have broad experience within a finance function (including a working knowledge of tax), with a good understanding of the latest accounting concepts and principles, and be able to provide financial accounting advice and information to finance and non-finance colleagues from a wide variety of departments, on all aspects of financial reporting, and best practice in all financial matters.

With the ability to address problems and identify solutions independently, you will demonstrate the ability to undertake operational aspects of the role such as quarterly reporting, planning & forecasting. This will necessarily involve modelling & analysis skills using Excel. Candidates should evidence experience of management and statutory accounting, budget management and finance business partnering, using their up-to-date knowledge of accounting standards and finance systems.

Full details of the duties and selection criteria for this role can be found in the vacancy advert on the University of Warwick's jobs pages. You will be routed to this when you click on the Apply button.
