Job Description

Part-Time Finance Manager (3 day week) | Independent Digital Marketing Agency Harmonic Finance are proud to be working on a retained basis for one of the UK's most respected boutique marketing agencies. To support the co-owners following recent MBO activity, the business requires a Finance Manager (PQ and QBE applicants welcome). The requirement currently is for 3 days a week. Interviews to be covered via Zoom with duties to be carried out remotely from home until further notice. Small, but profitable, the agency presently has a full-time headcount of 13, plus freelance ad-hoc support. They are located in fantastic converted mid-century building furnished with beautiful Scandinavian-style furniture a short walk from Old Street station which they share with a film production business. Their unique selling points are twofold: they 'get' the luxury space like few other agencies, and have an enviable client list. Secondly- and unusually for a company of their size- they also provide marketing insight analysis and visualization solutions to their clients. Often on a recurring monthly retainer basis. The role Although you will have access to ad-hoc support from a CFO (est 1-3 days per month) and an accountancy practice, this role requires a real 'all rounder' who isn't afraid to balance some more complex duties with (low-volume) transactional duties. Your role will cover: * Production of the P&L and Management Accounts * Working with the Creative team and Account Directors to support with pricing strategies for project bids. * Update of the Weekly Cash Flow forecast and comparison of actuals to prior forecasts * Management of the quarterly reforecast process, including working with Account Directors to understand the timing of client spend * Responsibility for the Accounts Payable function, including preparation of fortnightly payment runs & reconciliation of media accounts * Management of the Accounts Receivable process; running the monthly invoicing cycle & working with client managers to monitor credit control and client credit insurance limits * Preparation and submission of Quarterly VAT returns * Responsibility for all aspects of company Payroll (via Moneysoft Program) * Liaising with an external accounting practice to prepare the annual statutory return Please note that the exec team view the role as an evolving one: if there is a business case for outsourcing some of these duties mid-term, or for hiring more colleagues, then they are open to discussing this. You will need to be prepared to cover all bases at the outset however- it's an 'all hands on deck' culture. Qualifications While there is a preference to recruit a qualified candidate, applications are also welcome from PQ or QBE candidates. Career prospects The company have a culture of 'promoting from within'. The exec team subsequently view this role as an audition to become the future Finance Director of the business given strong professional performance. Interview dates: Week beginning 18th May. Salary : 50-55k pro rata
