Accounts Assistant

📋 Description

• • Own the day-to-day general ledger operations for Form3’s rapidly expanding global business, ensuring every transaction is accurately recorded, classified and reported in accordance with IFRS and UK GAAP standards.
• • Prepare and post monthly journals covering accruals, prepayments, fixed-asset additions/disposals, payroll entries, inter-company recharges and foreign-exchange adjustments, always maintaining a 100 % audit trail for internal and external review.
• • Perform timely and precise balance-sheet reconciliations for all key accounts (cash, receivables, payables, inter-company, tax, accruals, deferred income, fixed assets) with supporting documentation attached in NetSuite; flag and resolve discrepancies within agreed SLA timeframes.
• • Support the month-end, quarter-end and year-end close cycles by compiling trial-balance packs, variance analysis commentary and flux explanations for senior management, helping us hit a 5-day close target each month.
• • Act as the first point of contact for AP and AR queries, liaising with suppliers, customers and internal stakeholders to resolve issues quickly and maintain excellent working relationships.
• • Assist with external-audit preparation by gathering PBC schedules, preparing lead sheets and ensuring all supporting evidence is filed in a logical, accessible structure, reducing year-end audit queries by at least 20 %.
• • Continuously improve finance processes by identifying manual tasks suitable for automation, documenting standard operating procedures and partnering with our FinOps & Engineering teams to implement new NetSuite workflows, scripts or integrations.
• • Contribute to ad-hoc projects such as new subsidiary implementations, system upgrades, VAT/GST compliance reviews or cash-flow forecasting models, giving you exposure to strategic initiatives beyond core accounting.
• • Maintain strict adherence to SOX and internal-control requirements, updating risk-control matrices and ensuring all reconciliations are reviewed and signed off in line with policy.
• • Provide cover for colleagues during holidays or peak periods, demonstrating flexibility and a team-first mindset that keeps the Finance engine running smoothly 24/7.
• • Monitor and report on key finance KPIs (DSO, DPO, cash-conversion cycle, aged-debt movements) to help the leadership team make data-driven decisions that fuel Form3’s hyper-growth trajectory.
• • Champion a culture of compliance and ethical behaviour across the business, participating in training sessions and sharing best-practice knowledge with non-finance colleagues to strengthen company-wide financial literacy.
