Assistant Accountant

Position: ASSISTANT ACCOUNTANT (Contract)
Location: Stoke-on-Trent

This post is required for a period of 6 months, to assist with additional finance tasks, which have resulted from the transfer of Unitas to the Council, the adoption of new processes and procedures has significantly increased workload and created a backlog, primarily due to initial teething problems and further reconciliations required between the services job costing systems, buy-it and civica financials.

For example

Reconciling PO’s in Buy-it to Civica
Removing/ reducing PO’s which are not required
Analysis of GRNI’s to understand the gap between, actual commitment and civica, also to ensure we have sufficient PO, so no hold up on payment
Checking for Unitas invoices paid out of Stoke ledger and vice versa
Furthermore, RMS have recently transferred their Responsive and Planned services from Servitor to NEC. This is the first phase of the transfer with phase 2 due to be completed over the next few months with the remaining services transferring over to NEC. This role will assist with some of the tasks required as part of the transition process, for eg

Closing jobs down (ie those relating to current year, RMS specific) that have not been transferred to NEC, which need to be completed in Servitor (Old and New).
Jobs that have been transferred to NEC, have not been transferred with historic costs, these will have costs in both systems, when activity is complete they need to be completed in both systems. FULL JOB SPEC ON REQUEST
