Finance and systems accountant building automated reconciliations and finance models at Ellis Giles Ltd and JG Core Ltd.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
At Ellis Giles Ltd and JG Core Ltd, I handle accounts and tax for small-business clients while designing and building finance software. I turned a blinds manufacturer's printed price list into 26,000+ checked digital prices, catching over 100 errors, and built a tested UK tax library with automated reconciliation linked to HMRC, Open Banking, Companies House and Stripe data.
As a consultant Senior Finance Manager at Swoop Finance Ltd, I ran payroll across six countries and built the weekly receivables and cash report behind the debt pack. I also consolidated the five-entity group into a monthly P&L and maintained its 10-year financial model.
At GPC74 Ltd, I built a 56-week rolling cashflow forecast for the directors and led the weekly cash meeting. I also reconciled more than 5,000 bank transactions in a dashboard linking bank data, Sage and the forecast.
At FirstPort Ltd, I built a cashflow model for a fire safety remediation project on a 150-unit block and maintained the Building Safety Fund tracker for more than 4,600 homes. Earlier, at Ellis Glas Ltd, I built the business to around £0.5m turnover in its first trading year and managed supplier payments across four currencies.
