Oversee the monthly financial close process, ensuring accounts are accurately reconciled and financial results are complete and timely.

Liaise with the external accounting firm for year-end financial statements and taxation compliance.

Take financial ownership of a portfolio of conferences, with each conference managed as an individual financial entity.

Perform monthly reconciliation of each conference budget against actual income and expenditure.

Prepare accurate and timely individual conference Profit & Loss statements and financial reports for management and clients.

Monitor budget variances, identify discrepancies and financial risks, and work with Conference Managers to resolve issues.

Prepare the final financial reconciliation and closing reports upon completion of each conference, ensuring all income, expenses and client funds are accurately accounted for.

Work closely with Conference Coordinators, the General Manager and clients to resolve financial issues and support commercial decision-making.

Maintain strong financial controls and ensure the accuracy of financial records across multiple conference entities.
