·         Responsibility for preparation of annual financial statements, working with auditors and producing other statutory returns

·         Developing improved Balance sheet and Cashflow reporting

·         Assisting in the project of consolidating a number of financial systems onto a single platform system including scope, structure, data mapping, data migration, accounts processing and report generation

·         Identifying and assist in the implementation of a relevant modelling tool e.g. Hyperion, BI to enable more robust and automated 1, 3 and 5 year financial plans to be developed alongside evolving strategic plans

·         Reviewing and management of financial procedures and controls

·         Providing financial support to the FC/FD on regular performance analysis and KPI review

·         Assisting the Accounts Team in providing a Finance Business Partner service to budget holders across both schools and the Enterprise businesses, so they better understand their budgets, spend, commitments and the financial impact of project initiatives
