Head of Management Accounting and Financial Reporting

The role

Are you looking for a role where you can apply your financial skills and experience to drive forward the financial planning and reporting function within a public body?

If so, you may be interested in becoming an essential part of our finance and procurement leadership team here at the GMC.

The Head of Management Accounting and Financial Reporting will lead the management accounting function and be responsible for:

• fulfilling all aspects of the annual accounting cycle
• co-ordinating all financial and statutory reporting, including compiling the financial statements
• ensuring that high quality financial advice and support is provided to each directorate and supports the GMC’s strategic and operational needs.

The person

We are looking for someone who has full membership of an accounting body recognised by the Financial Reporting Council, has excellent analytical, numerical, and problem-solving skills, and has significant experience within a management accounting function. As the scope of the role is wide ranging, experience as a Financial Controller or similar position would be beneficial.

In addition, we are going through a period of change as we implement a new finance system. We are looking for someone who can play a key part in project delivery and be a champion for change, with the ability to shape team ways of working and structure to maximise the opportunities and benefits a new system brings.

We work with doctors, physician associates (PAs), anaesthesia associates (AAs), those they care for and other stakeholders to support good, safe patient care across the UK. We set the standards doctors, PAs, AAs and their educators need to meet, and help them achieve them. If there are concerns these standards may not be met or that public confidence in doctors, PAs, or AAs may be at risk, we can investigate, and take action if needed.

The benefits

You’ll benefit from being part of an organisation that is genuinely committed to its people with several excellent benefits including:

• 30 days holiday with the option to buy and sell more
• A generous employer pension contribution of 15%
• Access to a range of learning and development opportunities designed to support your ongoing progression
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Attractive salary that’s reviewed annually
• Private medical insurance
• Bike lockers and shower facilities
