We are looking for an experienced accountant or management accountant to help us set up accurate departmental budgeting and reporting within FreeAgent, and to support the allocation of costs and revenue across our departments.
Our current accounting setup needs to be improved so that salary costs and departmental performance can be reported correctly. At present, salaries have been posted as simple staff payments, while our accountant has managed the full payroll breakdown separately. We now want to go back over the last two years and post the correct journal entries into FreeAgent so that our budgets reflect the full employment cost, including pension, tax, National Insurance, and related payroll elements.
The departments involved are Business, Client, Sales, Product, and Innovation. We also need a practical and reliable method for assigning both revenue and cost journal entries to the correct department. This information will then feed into a system called Evidence, which departmental managers will use for access to reporting.
Scope of the role The successful freelancer will be responsible for three main areas of work.
First, you will review the historical salary postings and enter the required salary journal entries into FreeAgent for the past two years so that departmental budgets include the correct payroll costs.
Second, you will help us design and set up a workable process with our developers so that costs and revenue can be transferred or allocated between departments in a structured and consistent way.
Third, you will test the Evidence system to make sure the data flows through correctly and that the departmental reporting works as expected.
