At Greenback Alan we provide a comprehensive range of services to an extensive client list, a list that runs from major multinationals to professional partnerships and private individuals.

We have a growing portfolio of multinational clients. This is a mix of UK companies with overseas subsidiaries and foreign businesses with a UK presence. We have seen particularly strong growth from Japanese companies.

Working with Greenback Alan means you’ll get to work with “big 4” clients, that require outsourcing of their UK subsidiary accounts. You’ll quickly take ownership of your own portfolio and experience a variety of work.

Tasks

We need an ambitious and confident Semi-Senior or Senior Accountant to become part of our Accounts team. This position will play a vital role as we continue to onboard new clients.

Working within the Accounts team and reporting to one of our Senior Managers, your role will be to own accounting duties for a select number of world renowned clients & high-net worth individuals.

Initially, you’ll be taken through our induction process, learning about our clients, our work environment, the systems and processes we follow, and where necessary trained up on our Accounts, Audit and Tax software. You’ll also be introduced to the wider team and departments.

You’ll be allocated to your initial clients, initially assisting on accounts, but building over time as you become more comfortable with the way we work and our clients' needs.

You will work to build strong relationships with your peers and key stakeholders, working independently or as a team to ensure the highest level of service and consultancy to our clients.

As you settle, you’ll manage your own client base producing Management Accounts from preparation through to completion on a monthly/quarterley basis.

You’ll play a central role, including undertaking bookkeeping entry and/or review, VAT preparation and Management Accounts of larger and more complex companies.

The role will revolve around Accounts for international subsidiaries of some of the world’s biggest names, with revenues between £250k - £40m annually.

As you become more established in your role, depending on your career aspirations you’ll have the opportunity to work your way to a more senior role within the business.

Requirements

First and foremost you’ll be a Semi-Senior or Senior Accountant with experience managing a client base within a Practice setting. While we don’t expect you to have worked with similarly large and complex clients, we’ll want to understand the challenges you faced within your existing portfolio.

Ideally, although not essential, some experience will have been gained through work with either UK or overseas subsidiaries. We’ll want to learn about the types of clients you have worked with and the various services you fulfilled.

You’ll have significant Excel experience and must be comfortable working within various formats depending on client needs. We’ll want to hear about the extent of your experience and the areas you may need support.

You’ll be a team player and proactive in seeking support, not one to shy away from challenges and mistakes made. We’ll want to know how these attributes have helped you succeed in the past.

It’s important that you are excited by client interaction. You won’t be dealing with clients from the get-go, but you will be over time. We’ll want to hear about times that you have simply picked up the phone or offered a meeting to query or give advice.

Equally, you'll be excellent at creating and maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders. We're interested in learning about the ways in which you've built relationships with clients in the past.

Our clients stay with us because we are reliable and trustworthy, so it’s important that you are motivated to hit strict deadlines. You’ll be able to talk about the deadlines you’ve worked to in the past and how you ensured they were met.

You’ll need to demonstrate an organised and methodical approach to your work, we’ll want to hear how you manage competing priorities to ensure you always have happy clients.

As an experienced Accountant, you will be comfortable working within Sage and/or Xero. We don’t mind which you’ve used in the past, but you’ll need to be willing to learn.

Supporting the wider team will also be important. We’ll want to know about how you’ve supported your peers in the past.

Finally, we are open-minded about the career path you have followed, we don’t require any specific qualifications if you have the right experience.
