Rutherford Cross is delighted to be partnering with a national organisation to appoint a Temporary Management Accountant in their Edinburgh office. Our client is currently undergoing considerable change which has resulted in the need to appoint a qualified accountant (ICAEW, ICAS, CIMA or CIPFA) to report into the Chief Operating Officer.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Prepare monthly accrual and prepayments for the companies within the group
• Produce monthly management accounts for the companies in the group, comparing year to date actual and budget
• Produce monthly year end forecasts for the companies in the group, comparing year-end forecast and annual budget
• Produce monthly rolling cashflow forecasts for the companies in the group and a consolidated group cashflow forecast
• Produce a monthly narrative report to explain key variances and other financial issues, for discussion with CEO and COO
• Produce departmental monthly management accounts
• Hold monthly meetings with Heads of department to support them understand and action the issues arising from their departmental accounts
• Lead on a project to review the SAGE chart of accounts and design a new suite of automated SAGE reports
• Support the COO in the annual budget and year-end processes

This is a part-time position which will require the successful candidate to be available during busy periods; for example, month end. It is expected that you will support the COO for eight days each month. There is a competitive salary on offer which is dependent on experience.
