Senior Finance Manager

Senior Finance Manager - Job Description
We are currently seeking an ambitious and enthusiastic person to join our team on a full-time basis. The successful candidate will be technically sound and ready to step up and take on responsibility across the Agency as it grows.

About Us
Anything is Possible. Everything you need to know about us is in those three words. We are an integrated, independent Media, Tech and Creative agency. We grow our clients through transformative marketing solutions and close, collaborative working relationships.

With offices currently in Brighton, London, Manchester and Cape Town, we are a dynamic and rapidly expanding team.

The Role

The role demands strong organisational skills, effective communication abilities, and the capacity to maintain confidentiality. This position is perfect for a motivated individual who wishes to step into a fairly autonomous Number 2 role.

The Agency is experiencing very fast growth and it is envisaged the role will evolve over time. As a Finance Manager, you will work closely in a team of 5, reporting into the UK-based CFO, and two junior staff in Cape Town and a UK-based Finance Manager.

As part of this restructuring, the UK Finance Manager will be more responsible for the transactional elements of the finance function, and this new role will be more involved in FP&A and reconciliation. The role has high potential to grow for the right person.

Location

The role will be a minimum of 3 days pw in our Cape Town office.

Responsibilities
Balance Sheet reconciliations and Management Accounts for 3 Companies

Reconciliation of Accrued Income, Deferred Income and Client WIP balances

Systems/ software migration

Mentoring of 2 junior staff in CT

Ad hoc duties

Strong organisational and time management skills, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.

Self-motivated, reliable, and eager to contribute to a collaborative team environment.

Who we are. Who you are.

Our shared behaviours are what make our business.

Embrace uncertainty

Get comfortable with uncomfortable. Humans are hardwired to fear ambiguity and the unknown, but taking a calculated risk is the only way we've ever invented or survived.

Be daring

If you want to be great you won't get there by standing still. Being daring might mean you sometimes have to break the rules. We champion the rule-breakers - they make change.

Be curious

Look where no one else is looking. Be eclectic and diverse in your reading and influences. Think of challenges as opportunities in disguise.

Be accountable

Do the right thing by your colleagues, your clients and yourself. You own the quality of your work. Good is never good enough. Own your failures alongside your successes. We learn more from them.

Be decisive

Don't hedge. Our world moves fast, and data is illuminating. But sometimes you need to take a leap on little more than your gut feeling. Clear decision making creates momentum, inspires and leads from the front.

Be imaginative

When we're young we have limitless imagination. Go there again. Everyone here is creative. And we are all only as good as our next great idea.

Be inclusive

We're a deliberately diverse bunch who share a belief in the possible. Diverse perspectives generate collective intelligence. Our culture respects every perspective, every belief, every background.

Be direct

Say what you mean. Mean what you say. Don't be afraid to voice your thinking - respectfully and with reason. Be conscious of how the things you do affect the people around you. How are you influencing them to be better and encourage them to speak up and add their voice?

We want to take you out of your comfort zone, to stretch and to learn. You must believe that anything is possible.

We aren't just any other agency. We are building a movement called Possiblism.

Ask us about it sometime. And if you are ready to make a difference, then get in touch today.
