Accountable to the Head of Management Accounts, but working closely with a Divisional Finance Manager, this post is responsible for providing a high-quality, pro-active management accounting service to the Trust's Estates & Facilities and Digital Services division. This includes the production of the monthly accounts, analysis of the divisional financial position, production of the annual accounts, setting and maintaining budgets, and providing advice and support to budget managers dealing with complex financial issues.
Under the direction of the Divisional Finance Manager, this post is responsible for ensuring that the Division receives excellent financial support and advice to enable them to manage and develop their services.
The post holder is required to manage a small team consisting of Management Accountants. If you are interested in a career in a varied and challenging role, and the chance to expand your knowledge of NHS finance and utilise your management accounting skills, this role is a great opportunity to work within a friendly and supportive team.
Main duties of the job
Manage a small team to ensure the provision of a pro-active management accounting service to the Division. Produce the monthly management accounts for a Division, in line with the agreed timetable and ensuring strict deadlines are met. Maintain a knowledgeable overview of all budget areas, understanding the key financial issues, and communicating them to divisional managers. The finance team at University Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Foundation Trust has a strong reputation for training and developing finance professionals. The entire finance function is provided 'in-house', giving members of the team the opportunity to become involved in a wider range of specialisms than would otherwise be possible. Working closely with hospital management and clinical staff provides an interesting background to which the financial information prepared by the team is applied. The team is friendly and supportive, and the department is accredited by Investors in People. Working for our organisation
