About the job

The Responsibilities:
Act as the first point of contact for clients, especially when they have new ideas or require guidance, ensuring a high level of service and support.
Oversee the accuracy of financial data, identify areas for improvement, and alert clients to potential pitfalls in a timely manner.
Manage your portfolio of clients to ensure that submissions are all delivered ahead of deadline, including accounts, VAT returns, etc.
Produce reports that include analysis of profit and loss, balance sheet, customers and bank balance reviews, adding valuable commentary and comparisons to highlight significant changes.
Offer strategic advice on cash flow management, foreign exchange, and other critical financial areas. Provide detailed reports with useful analysis, comparisons, and commentary to assist in strategic decision-making.
