Milton Keynes - Hybrid

Full Time, Permanent

Closing Date: 21st May 2024

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Structured Finance Operations Accountant to join our Finance team here at Volkswagen Financial Services UK (“VWFS”) and support in delivering our successful Asset-Backed Security (“ABS”) Programme. This is an important and rewarding role as our ABS Programme ensures we have the funding needed to operate and ultimately supports our longer term growth ambitions.

You will be working in a reporting focused role where experience working with big data and being analytical is key. You will be responsible for completing monthly Investor Reports for external Investors, Rating Agencies & our Headquarters in Germany, working to tight deadlines. You will also ensure the appropriate accounting treatment, systems, and processes, are understood and in place for the impending regulatory and accounting developments relating to Structured Finance.

Here’s what the line manager, Jamie, had to say:
“This is both an incredibly important and rewarding role that plays a crucial part in the business’ success. You’ll work alongside a great team where everyone is supportive of each other, and pulls together to get things done. You will also get great exposure to not only the UK market, but other European markets, so there is plenty to learn, and lots of development opportunities”.

If you have advanced Microsoft Excel skills, portfolio analysis experience, strong problem-solving abilities, and want to see your work have a direct impact on the success of the business, then this role could be the perfect role for you.

This is what you could be doing:

  • Accurate production of all tasks related to the completion of the monthly Investor Reports to tight timelines
  • Perform the monthly ‘top up’ process ensuring only eligible assets based on defined legal criteria are sold into the ABS deals while ensuring all monthly legal documents & payment requests are accurately produced, signed and issued
  • Monitor pool performance / ABS deal KPIs and communicate issues / trends with the relevant business stakeholders
  • Respond to investor queries and provide detailed analysis and explanation
  • Complete monthly Bank of England (BoE) & European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) reporting, as well as other monthly regulatory & analytical portfolio schedules
  • Prepare the monthly & annual accounting posting / reconciliations for inclusion within the VWFS accounts while ensuring the correct accounting treatment is followed for the ABS transaction
  • Ensure the integrity of the ABS data, including all data feeds through to completion of the relevant reconciliations
  • You will be regarded as a Structured Finance expert within the wider business, act as an advisor for resolving issues that may arise, and analyse potential business change to identify the Structured Finance impact.

This is what you will bring to the role:

  • Excellent and advanced knowledge of Microsoft Excel
  • Financial Services experience, with an awareness of Structured Finance Transactions (Discounted Cash Flows).
  • Portfolio analysis experience is essential
  • Ability to work under pressure in order to meet strict deadlines
  • Team player with good interpersonal skills
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify, understand and explain financial data
  • Qualified / Finalist Accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) will help you in the role but is not essential
  • Good self-organisation with a proven methodical and disciplined approach to work
  • Strong sense of work ownership, integrity and confidence to challenge existing processes and views
