Finance Manager - London, United Kingdom - SAGA
Description
Job Introduction
Finance Manager - Controls
Salary £65,000 to £70,000 DOE
Permanent
**Hybrid – London office and Home
Closing date 22nd May 2024
Saga has an exciting opportunity within the central finance function for the role of Finance Manager - Controls based within our Financial Reporting and Control (FR&C) team.
You'll be reporting to the Head of Financial Reporting and Control, taking the responsibility for shaping and embedding our Key Financial Controls Framework across Finance.
In this role you will help to ensure Saga's financial reporting is correct – whether that's external reporting to the market or internal reporting for decision making, you will support us to safeguard the integrity of our numbers.
Sitting in the second line of defence, you will be closely connected to the day-to-day operation of our finance processes, working collaboratively across a number of stakeholders and Business Units to provide expert guidance on financial controls design and best practices.
Strengthening Saga's control environment is a key objective of Senior Management, particularly considering the upcoming regulatory changes in the UK, and you'll be leading on making these things happen, providing significant opportunity to raise your profile across the Group.
The role is suited to a qualified finance professional, with a strong background in financial reporting and controls, preferably gained within a mid-large accountancy practice. The individual will need to have strong analytical skills and be able to work to tight deadlines, whilst juggling multiple priorities. The individual will also be keen to get stuck in, being curious and challenging the status quo; to actively seek improvements to processes and controls.
** Remote working with a hybrid approach, occasionally you will be required to attend some team days and business meetings in our Saga hub located in London or Ashford, Kent. You will need to be within a reasonable commuting distance to undertake this hybrid working role.
Role Responsibility
The primary responsibilities of the role are as follows:
