Salary: £36,839 to £43,698 – dependent upon qualifications/experience (must be at least half way through professional qualifications before can progress beyond £40,309)
Location: Leman Street, London, E1 8EU
The Valuation Tribunal Service (VTS) is a statutory, non-departmental public body (NDPB), sponsored by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, with responsibility for the administration of Council Tax and Non-Domestic Rating appeals. What we do and how we do it has an impact on the multi-million pound income the Government brings in from local property taxation to support other public services.
We are looking for an Assistant Finance Officer to join our small but busy finance team in the VTS Head Office. This job offers great exposure to a range of finance related work. You will report to our Finance Manager and on a day-to-day basis you will work closely with our other Finance Officer roles and our Finance Administrator. Depending upon your appointment level and experience, you may be expected to provide some direction for the Finance Administrator.
Your specific responsibilities will include:
- assisting the Finance Manager with preparation of annual and quarterly accounts;
- assisting with the preparation and analysis of management accounting information including budget management reporting;
- producing monthly and year-end audit files;
- payroll reconciliation and administration.
Our ideal candidate will have previous experience of a range of finance responsibilities, preferably gained within the public sector. Knowledge of the work involved in central government financing and specifically within an NDPB would be a positive advantage. We believe that this position will suit candidates who are part-qualified with a recognised accountancy body and who aspire to progress to a Finance Officer role in future. This position would also suit an individual with knowledge of SAP accounting. You are likely to have excellent Excel skills – at an intermediate or advanced level – as working with spreadsheets is a prime requirement of the role.
