St Albans City and District Council is seeking a skilled Financial Transactions Supervisor to oversee accounts payable, receivable, and cash handling operations. You will supervise a small team, ensuring accurate and timely financial transactions and reconciliations. Key responsibilities include monitoring regulatory compliance, guiding team members, and improving procedures. Strong technical knowledge of financial systems, leadership experience, and the ability to interpret financial regulations are essential.
About you
You are a confident leader with a strong understanding of financial systems and practices. Your attention to detail ensures accuracy in financial transactions, and you’re skilled in reconciliations and compliance with regulations like VAT and financial legislation. You’re highly organised, able to manage multiple tasks, and support your team effectively, offering guidance and training where needed. Excellent problem-solving skills help you address complex financial issues, and you’re comfortable working with large data sets, using Excel to analyse and present financial information. Your communication and interpersonal skills enable you to work well with both financial and non-financial colleagues.
