Brighton, United Kingdom University of Sussex Full time

The University of Sussex is a dynamic, innovative university. With a campus based in the South Downs National Park but just a few minutes from the city of Brighton and Hove, it provides an excellent working environment in a remarkable setting, combined with all that the city has to offer.

Creative thinking, intellectual challenge and collaborative working are fundamental to a Sussex education and that is reflected in our workplace too. This is an exciting chance to join a team working at the centre of the University.

Within the University’s Finance department, the Corporate Accounting team is responsible for the provision of technical accounting, treasury, income accounting, financial reporting, financial compliance, and regulatory reporting. It further has responsibility for the professional support of the University Corporate budgeting, forecasting and financial monitoring process. We operate a hybrid working model with team members expected to be on site (on average) 2 days a week (or a minimum 40% of their agreed contractual hours) to ensure we provide the best possible support to our stakeholders.

We have a vacancy for a Corporate Accounting Business Partner, a role supporting the Lead Financial Accountant with the focus on the preparation of the Group financial statements and subsidiary companies, supporting the associated tasks necessary for audit clearance. This will be a varied role in a dynamic team that will have exposure to the areas described below.

This is an exciting time for the sector and this role will be supporting the reporting of the financial performance of the University and its subsidiary companies to key internal and external stakeholders including regulatory bodies such as the Office for Students.

Key responsibilities are:

- Effective financial reporting of subsidiary group companies, preparation of financial statements and supporting the Lead Financial Accountant in the preparation of annual financial returns.
- Support the Lead Financial Accountant with the successful delivery and completion of the annual external audit.
- Support the Corporate Accounting team in the development of policies, procedures, financial technical updates, regulatory returns, and other project work as required.

Line managed by an experienced Big Four qualified Chartered Accountant, this would be an ideal opportunity for someone with a background in Practice or with exposure to a strong Financial Accounting group environment, who is comfortable preparing subsidiary accounts, and liaising with subsidiary stakeholders and external auditors. The part-time hours reflect the expected working pattern required of the role.

You will have sound financial reporting technical knowledge and experience of working in an audit environment, with understanding of governance and compliance issues, and the ability to develop processes across multiple stakeholders.
- The University of Sussex values the diversity of its staff and students and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds._
