Produce management reports and KPIs for the Group CEO.
Maintain robust financial controls and statutory compliance.
Coordinate with the UAE office regarding inter-company transactions and reconciliations when required.
Improve financial systems and reporting procedures.
Undertake other finance duties as required by the Group CEO.Essential Requirements
Minimum five years' experience in a senior accounts or finance administration role.
Excellent working knowledge of Sage Accounting Software is essential.
Strong knowledge of UK accounting principles and HMRC regulations.
Experience preparing management accounts independently.
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
Experience analysing business expenditure and preparing management reports.
Excellent analytical, organisational and communication skills.
Ability to work independently with integrity and confidentiality.

Desirable Qualifications

AAT Level 4 or equivalent.
ACCA, ACA or CIMA qualified or studying towards qualification.
Experience within the security, facilities management or service industry would be advantageous.

What We Offer

Competitive salary, company pension, generous annual leave, ongoing training, career progression within the Guardforce Global Group, and the opportunity to work directly with the Group Chief Executive Officer.

Pay: £25,000.00-£31,000.00 per year
