Job Description
Your new company A market leading construction company is seeking a Financial Accountant to join their team in North Dublin. This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a progressive and supportive team with great opportunities for career development. The successful candidate will report to the Financial Controller. Your new role As a Financial Accountant, you will be responsible for preparing the group's monthly management accounts, including balance sheet reconciliations and profit and loss analysis, and resolving any reconciling items promptly. You will assist in preparing management packs for the Group and provide analysis and commentary on financial data as needed. Additionally, you will manage treasury functions across all entities, administer monthly supplier payment runs, and deputise for the Financial Controller during holiday periods. Your role will also involve performing general accounting duties, including taxation heads reporting and CSO reporting for both ROI and NI, identifying and implementing performance improvement opportunities, handling intercompany reconciliations, transfer pricing, and journal entries, and supporting the forecasting and budgeting procedures. What you'll need to succeed To be successful as a Financial Accountant, you need to be either newly or part-qualified with at least three years of industry experience. Experience is more important than the qualification, so relevant experience is vital. Construction experience is advantageous. Strong analytical skills are essential, as you'll need to draw meaningful insights from financial data. Excellent communication skills are crucial for developing effective working relationships, and you must be highly organised with a keen attention to detail. The ability to meet deadlines and manage your time effectively is important, as is a high level of proficiency with MS Excel. You should be able to work independently, understand the broader business context, and have a driven, self-motivated attitude. Experience with the Intact ERP system is advantageous but not mandatory. Ambition and a proactive approach to identifying and implementing performance improvements will also contribute to your success in this role. What you'll get in return The salary for this role ranges from €50,000 to €60,000. After six months of employment, you will be eligible for a pension plan with a 5% matched contribution. Health insurance coverage of up to €1,200 per annum is provided after completing the probation period of six months. You will receive 21 days of annual leave, which increases by one day each year of employment, up to a maximum of 25 days, in addition to 10 bank holidays. The standard working hours are 40 hours per week, with flexible start and end times (typically 9am - 5.30pm). The role includes a death in service benefit of four times your salary. The position offers a hybrid working model, with three days in the office and two days working from home, although you will be required to be in the office for the first few months for training. Onsite parking is also available. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to work closely with the management team to drive performance improvements and profitability, enhancing your professional growth and development.
