Financial Analyst

 

Our idea

Tweets and posts, comments and character limits - the internet has completely changed the way we write. Documents are no longer static prose written on a screen, they are living sets of structured data.

 At H4 we are taking this new idea and applying it to the world of capital markets, corporate finance and law. 

Our platform integrates document editing, distribution, indexing and collaboration, together with bespoke tools for the specific industries we service. We find inspiration in the tools that software engineers build for themselves and want to bring them to the legal and finance industries. 

Some might say we’re mad to challenge the status quo, but fortunately we’re backed by some of the biggest names in the business.

How we work

As a technology company, engineering and product substantially shape the way we do things as a company. However, with our current market being large financial and legal institutions, we also have a strong team of former bankers and lawyers, operating out of London, who have taken the leap to join a fast-moving startup because they believe in our mission. Key to making this work is an open and collaborative environment, where people are direct, respectful, collaborative, share ideas, and contribute to solving big and interesting problems.

We are also a young company and, as we grow, our organization and processes are constantly evolving. Things keep moving, and we all participate in creating a better organisation and work environment for ourselves.

 

The role

Currently our Finance team is lean, but coherent. We’re based in London and Skopje and we’re working together to build scalable finance solutions enabling us to evolve as the company continues to grow. Even with the high pace and dynamic work, there’s space to be creative and flexible in designing, implementing and optimising financial processes. In this role you will be working independently and have responsibility over the entire MK finance function. This role is initially a maternity cover but the successful candidate will have a high likelihood of staying on after this period and take on further responsibilities as the business grows. Main responsibilities of the role include day to day, month end and regulatory reporting:

Day to day:

• Control and report on monthly payroll process

• Provide administrative support to employees with bank applications

• Review and control timely payment of AP and all relevant taxes

• Work with management on cash flow planning for large spend and loan pay down

Month end:

• Manage external accounting and control and review monthly bookings

• Take full responsibility of monthly management reports including detailed analysis, explanations and  supporting schedules (i.e. balance sheet reconciliation files)

• Control year end processes, including inventory tracking and all relevant documentation and supporting schedules

Regulatory reporting:

• Control VAT postings and VAT submission

• Prepare and submit all relevant statistical reports

• Keep management updated on relevant regulatory changes, identifying impact and potential risk to the company.

• Review and report Statutory Annual Accounts and Corporate Income Tax Return.

• Prepare annual report for working of the company and all necessary statutory documentation related to year end.

Additional Projects

• Budget/ Forecasting with UK corporate office 

• Audit, process and procedure Work with UK corporate office procedures

• Ad hoc reporting internal and external  projections, as requested (i.e. transfer pricing, audit / agreed upon procedures)

 

What about you?

 The ideal candidate would be someone who could challenge the status quo and not merely embrace changes but relentlessly seek ways to improve. We value technical qualities as well as behaviours and mindset of people. Below outlines  role skill  and experience  in more detail:

• 3-5 years of relevant all-encompassing accounting experience (Big 4 a huge plus)

Why join?
