  3. Input financial ledger corrections and transactions into the computerized General Ledger systems in accordance with established procedures.
  4. Address and respond to queries from both Finance and Non-Finance staff, utilizing your expertise in financial accounting routines and statutory regulations.
  5. Assist in reconciling VAT control accounts and preparing VAT returns under the guidance of the Senior Assistant Accountant, while also reviewing consultant reports and addressing VAT inquiries from clients.
  6. Support the preparation of Annual Statutory Accounts for client organizations in compliance with relevant requirements and liaise with auditors as needed.

  1. Ensure the reconciliation and clearance of designated balance sheet accounts, maintaining accurate financial records in accordance with Service Level Agreements.
  2. Manage daily cash allocation and bank reconciliation for assigned clients, ensuring timely and accurate processing of payments.
  3. Oversee recharge accounts, ensuring prompt reconciliation and clearance to maximize client income.
  4. Assist in VAT reconciliation and reporting, providing support for VAT-related queries.
  5. Contribute to the preparation of Annual Statutory Accounts and liaise with external auditors as required.
