We are now seeking a Financial Accountant to provide support in maintaining accurate Fixed Asset Register (FAR) and Capital Projects records. You will be based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Didcot, Oxfordshire, although occasional travel to other UKRI sites may be required.

Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities:

  • Completing a monthly reconciliation between Oracle General Ledger and Oracle Project Accounting modules on a project by project basis
  • Ensuring asset capitalisation and disposals are in accordance with UKRI's policies and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
  • Working with Project Managers and Finance Business Partners to agree appropriate project structures to facilitate asset creations in Oracle Project Accounting
  • Identifying and cleansing project data of non-capital items
  • The timely creation of Construction in Progress assets in Oracle Fixed Asset module
  • Maintaining an effective collaborative working relationship with the shared service centre UK SBS (fixed asset transaction processing is outsourced).

To be successful in this role you will be a part qualified accountant or will be studying for professional qualification and will have demonstrable experience in a financial environment substantiated by a proven track record.

You will be highly competent in IT systems and applications with a particular focus on Windows 10 and Microsoft Office. Good working knowledge of data mining (pivot tables, VLOOKUP's, sumif's) within large Excel spreadsheets is also essential.

A good understanding of the accounting lifecycle for Non-Current Assets (Fixed Assets) or experience of determining capital and non-capital expenditure or of working in a research/not for profit environment would be advantageous but is not essential.

UKRI recognises and value employees as individuals and aim to provide a pay and rewards package that motivates staff to perform to the best of their ability. The reward package includes a flexible working scheme, a Career Average Revalued Earnings pension scheme, 30 days annual leave allowance as well as other benefits.
