Expense Accounting Manager Intro
We have an excellent opportunity for an Expense Accounting Manager to work within our Fund and Investment Accounting team based in London on an 18-month fixed term basis (hybrid working).
Who we are
Railpen is responsible for the safekeeping and investment of around £34 billion in assets and the administration of several pension schemes, including the Railways Pension Scheme, one of the UK's largest and longest established pension funds.
Our heritage of looking after the pension needs of the rail industry and its employees gives us our name and our unique outlook on how we serve our members. Railpen takes a holistic view, focusing on how we serve members today and how we can positively impact the communities and the world they will retire into.
Our values of integrity, community, and alignment are the guiding principles that influence our behaviour. They help us make decisions and shape our interactions with others. They’re what we stand for.
The role
As an Expense Accounting Manager, you will be responsible for the BAU expenses accounting processes for our Pooled Funds. You will be hands-on in providing support and expertise to your direct report to ensure all transactions and processes are completed accurately and in a timely manner.
You will have ownership for inputs into the sub-ledger and general ledger process and be responsible for processing invoices, managing and reviewing month-end journals, including all prepayments and accruals.
The person
We are looking for someone with demonstrable experience in expense accounting, and who is proficient in using Microsoft Excel. Some previous line management experience is essential to allow the successful candidate to effectively support and develop their direct report as well as ensuring that all transactions are completed faultlessly. Previous experience of using SunSystems would be advantageous, but not essential.
We are looking for someone who will be able to communicate and work closely with the F&IA and Finance team, with the ambition of building effective relationships. You will help to identify and implement process improvements within the function and therefore being proactive in your thinking is key, as is having the ability to constructively challenge stakeholders and processes to allow for the continual development of the function.
