Bank & Cash Management: Take full accountability for daily bank reconciliations across all accounts and manage the company’s cash flow positioning.

Payment Oversight: Manage and authorise payment runs, ensuring supplier payments are optimised and aligned with cash flow requirements.

Financial Accuracy: Review the work of the Ledger Clerk to ensure accurate coding, VAT treatment, and CIS compliance.

Balance Sheet Control: Perform regular reconciliations of all balance sheet accounts, including accruals, prepayments, and intercompany transactions.
