The Financial Accountant role is primarily responsible for daily preparation and maintenance of accurate financial records. Reporting into the Finance Manager, the primary function of this critical team member is to prepare the monthly profit and loss and balance sheet reporting, to effectively monitor accounting and budgetary strategies against plan, and finally to ensure adherence of departmental spend against internal policies and controls. Our Finance team is viewed as a key player in leading strategic discussions and supporting all departments to deliver key insights and optimise decision making in fast paced and dynamic e-commerce business. The Financial Accountant will also perform a key role in compilation of data and reporting to facilitate such insights.
You will have direct access to a highly committed and experienced Finance Manager and will regularly work with other members of the management team, responsible for driving the business to new heights.
The day to day role will involve but not be limited to:
Preparation and delivery of timely and accurate reporting packages, including IFRS compliant monthly profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow, and investment analysis with support from the Finance Manager and CFO;

Ensure the business identifies and addresses changing circumstances, environmental factors and trends, and adapts to these with entrepreneurial spirit; and

This role will report to the Finance Manager and work closely with every department across the business. The Finance function at True is very much a business partner to other core functions within the organisation. Our ideal candidate will enjoy looking into the future rather than dwelling solely on the past. It will suit someone who thrives on the fact that every day is different and is happy to throw themselves into new challenges daily. Someone who wants to make a difference and is passionate about being better every day. In return, True is a company that genuinely cares about our staff and is passionate about making positive change in the lives of others.
