Job Details

At Lloyds Banking Group, we have a clear purpose; to help Britain prosper and to become the best bank for our customers. What we do makes a genuine difference to families, businesses and communities, and we're playing a central role in crafting a growing UK economy. Finance is key to that success by securing and building the financial strength and performance of the Bank.


Here in the Statutory Reporting team, we're responsible for the coordination, production and submission for c.300 of the Group's subsidiary entities. Joining us as the Assistant Manager - Statutory Reporting, you'll support the production of statutory accounts and associated matters for the Commercial Banking subsidiaries owned by the team.

 

What would you get involved with?

 

You'll be supporting the production of statutory accounts for the relevant legal entities of the businesses you're aligned to, for example Leasing or Equities etc. Your remit will include matters such as dividend policy, liquidation programme and other simplification initiatives.


Assisting with business transactions, you'll provide accounting advice and guidance as needed, working within our robust process control framework. You'll also respond to ad hoc requests from your business customers, support project initiatives and join us in delivering efficiencies within a culture of continuous improvement. Additionally, you'll establish and build collaborative relationships with both Finance colleagues and your internal customers.

 

Key Accountabilities:
* Actively demonstrate the core LBG values and behaviours
* Delivering work to timetable, keeping your wider team informed on progress
* Supporting the implementation of robust processes aligned to business objectives, recommending improvements where appropriate
* Minimising operational risks, using judgement to determine where issues require escalation
* Managing internal and external stakeholder relationships, to ensure seamless delivery of end to end statutory reporting process
* Participating in Resource Sharing, demonstrating collaboration and teamwork across the department
* Supporting and driving continuous improvement in behaviours and processes.


What can you bring to the role?


It's essential that your skills and experience include:
* A professional finance qualification (or qualified by experience)
* Recent hands on experience of preparing statutory financial statements
* Good understanding of business systems, and a practical understanding of financial systems and processes
* Ability to use and manipulate spreadsheets, produce formatted charts and use advanced formulae and pivot tables
* Commercial awareness of the market and industry environment LBG operates within
* Ability to plan, organise and prioritise your own workload
* Well-developed interpersonal, communication and presentation skills
* Ability to implement change

 

And desirable that:
* You've gained your statutory financial accounting experience within a large, complex organisation
* You have a background within financial or professional services

 

And in return...

 

It is a very exciting time to join LBG. Together we'll continue our market leading, ground breaking transformation and you'll help us realise the Group's vision to become the Best Bank for Customers. Here, you'll grow as a person and develop your career.

 

As well as a competitive salary, you'll receive:
* Discretionary Performance Share Award
* Generous pension contribution
* A flex benefits cash pot you can adjust to suit your lifestyle (4% on top of your basic salary)
* Private health cover
* Share schemes
* 28 days holiday plus bank holidays

 

In return for your expertise, you'll enjoy our total dedication to your ongoing personal and professional development. We'll help you perform at your best today, so you can fulfil all your potential in the future.

Company

We’re creating an organisation that attracts, retains and develops the best talent in the industry, and one that openly embraces diversity too. But more than that – we want to be a great place to work. We invest in our people, offering the best training and coaching, and by encouraging them to contribute to our leading corporate and social responsibility practices. We offer flexible working hours and days, under our Work Options scheme. This means that you can have a challenging and rewarding career, and still have an ideal work/life balance.

Flexible working is at the heart of our strategy. We’re re-imagining where, when, and how our people work, with new approaches designed to meet the ever-changing needs of customers and colleagues. These include increasing our use of remote-working tools and technology, as well as placing less reliance on a 9-to-5 mindset. For many of our office-based colleagues, we work in hybrid ways which involves spending at least two days per week or 40% of their time at one of our office sites.
