Joining us as a Fixed Asset Accountant means playing an integral role as part of the Management Accounts team as well as taking full ownership of fixed asset accounting.

Manual entry of invoices into fixed assets system (Assetware)
Maintenance of fixed asset register including uploading of additions, disposals, asset transfer files and checking that assets are not duplicated
Posting of General Ledger journals to reflect the above
Reconciliation of vehicles to transport system (Tranman)
Verification of disposal proceeds against Electronic Sales Invoice (ESI) report
Review and posting of system generated depreciation charge ensuring that assets have been set up within the correct asset class and are therefore depreciating in line with Group Accounting policies
Reconciliation of Assetware to General Ledger and PACE system
Co-ordination and validation of physical asset verification checks
Preparation of fixed asset lead schedules and reports
Calculation of budgeted depreciation for existing assets and projected new vehicle assets
Track capital expenditure against capital approval amounts
What we’re looking for
You’ll need to have some experience as part of a Management Accounts/Financial Accounts department and will ideally be studying towards an accountancy qualification. You’ll need to be a strong communicator, and have the confidence of explaining financial policies to key stakeholders across the business. You’ll be highly ambitious, and have a keenness to develop and learn new skills within a fast paced environment.
