## Description

We’re seeking a talented accountant to join the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) as Deputy Financial Controller.

This is an opportunity to take on a broad and influential role within a smaller government department, where you’ll gain a unique understanding of the whole organisation and work closely with colleagues at every level.

Compared to some larger departments, you’ll have the opportunity to shape decisions, drive improvements and see the direct impact of your work. As the SFO continues to expand its capabilities and invest in its future, you’ll play an important role in strengthening financial controls, improving processes and supporting an organisation that delivers nationally significant work tackling serious and complex fraud, bribery and corruption.

Working closely with the Financial Controller, you’ll help lead the financial control function and ensure the organisation maintains the highest standards of financial management.

Key responsibilities include:

- Leading and developing members of the finance team

- Managing the accounts payable function and approving payments

- Performing and reviewing balance sheet reconciliations

- Maintaining the fixed asset register and ensuring effective financial controls

- Helping to produce the annual financial statements and supporting the Annual Report and Accounts process

- Working with internal and external auditors throughout the audit cycle

- Preparing cash flow forecasts and supporting financial planning activities

- Leading Cabinet Office, HM Treasury and transparency reporting requirements

- Identifying and implementing process improvements, including within Oracle Fusion

- Building strong relationships with stakeholders across the organisation

For more information about the role and for a full list of key responsibilities, please see attached Job Pack.

Alongside your salary of £41,484, Serious Fraud Office contributes £12,017 towards you being a member of the Civil Service Defined Benefit Pension scheme.

Benefits include:

- Generous annual leave provision of 25 days which increases to 30 days after five years’ service plus an additional day in recognition of the King’s Birthday and the option to buy or sell up to five days’ leave per year

- Discretionary performance-related bonus scheme

- Interest-free season travel ticket, bicycle loan and cycle to work scheme

- Access to the Rental Deposit Salary Advance Scheme which assists employees in meeting the costs of deposits for privately rented homes

- Opportunities for learning and development

- Flexible working arrangements and family-friendly policies

- Voucher for eye care and discounted spectacles

- Access to a range of discounts through membership of the Civil Service Sports and Social Club, CSSC Sports and Leisure
