The role is at the heart of the group's daily operations and works closely with the HR and commercial departments, the management and the outsourced finance management.
The role spans several entities, several countries, several currencies and recurring flows of invoicing, collection, suppliers, commissions and accounting coordination.
Reporting line and environment

- Maintaining the management tool (Zoho) as the single source of truth, reliable and up to date, in line with the rules of control and validation at source.
- Upkeep of the reference data (clients, suppliers, payees).
Client, supplier and treasury operations
- Clients: consistency check of quotes, invoicing, monitoring of collections, reminders, management and recovery of receivables, credit notes.
- Suppliers: processing of purchase invoices and expense claims, monitoring of recurring contracts, preparation and initiation of payments within the cash plan and the defined approvals.
- Treasury: updating of short term cash data, monitoring of forecast collections and disbursements, preparation of the elements needed for cash steering.
- Payments, changes of payees, credit notes and sensitive operations fall within an approval framework defined by management and the outsourced finance management.

Requirements
Experience
- 6 to 8 years' experience in finance, management accounting or financial administration, ideally in a multi-entity or international environment.
- Education in accounting, management or finance (bachelor's or master's level, or equivalent); at this level of experience, track record matters more than the diploma.
Technical skills
- Good accounting and financial understanding (without performing the bookkeeping itself, which is outsourced).
- Proficiency with SaaS financial management tools (knowledge of Zoho or an equivalent tool is an asset).
- Good command of the Microsoft suite, in particular Excel.
Languages

- Discretion and a strong sense of confidentiality.
This role suits someone who enjoys strengthening reliability, monitoring, following up, documenting and keeping a finance system running smoothly on an ongoing basis.
Success in the role

Work conditions
- Fully remote position, based in the United Kingdom.
- Employment with the group's entity in the United Kingdom.

Salary
I've been the co-founder of the Morgan Mallet International agency since 2014 and I recruit staff with as much passion and motivation as ever. Our prestigious clients have been placing their trust in us for 11 years now! I studied cookery and was trained at the Ferrandi school in Paris, I was able to study at the Plaza Athénée hotel. I then moved to London to work as a nanny for a HNW family before setting up the Morgan Mallet International agency.
