RTR Year-End Support

RTR Year-End Support

FTC until the end of May 2025

Based in Manchester (hybrid working 2 days a week in the office)

Financial year end (31 March 2025) is a busy and critical time in PBS, with fast-turnaround requirements on audit deliverables and other accounting tasks.  There are also several projects running currently in the RTR team, with project related tasks and deliverables materially impacting on our BAU colleagues.  In the midst of this, there are a number of staff movements in RTR and these key staff will also be learning new roles.

With all of this in mind, we need a Year-End Support Accountant to help us successfully navigate our financial year end.

The RTR Year-End Support Accountant is required to assist PBS RTR at year-end, to respond to all audit related queries, to produce all necessary year end requested data analyses and to help deliver any audit requests in the period leading up to and throughout the business’ financial year-end.

Additionally, the role will support generally, the PBS RTR function in the lead up to (and throughout) the financial year end, including: ad hoc projects tasks, supporting RTR colleagues in their BAU activities during peak workload periods, role rotation and assisting in RTR project work.

This role will provide flexible and capable support to RTR at this busy time by “getting stuck in” to pretty much anything that’s RTR related.
