About the organisation
- Scottish Enterprise is Scotland's national economic development agency. We work to transform the Scottish economy by helping businesses innovate and scale.
About the vacancy
- As part of the Finance Centre team, you’ll use your bookkeeping and accounting expertise to deliver our banking and accounts receivable services.
The role also includes managing balance sheet accounts up to the trial balance level, drawing on your professional judgement to ensure accuracy, consistency, and high-quality financial information.
Key Responsibilities
- • Leading and supporting a small team through coaching, development, workload supervision, and performance appraisals.
• Overseeing financial processing and controls across:
o Accounts receivable – guaranteeing accurate posting of transactions and managing the debt recovery process.
o Banking – recording income and expenditure, completing bank reconciliations, and ensuring accuracy and timeliness in financial reporting.
o General ledger – preparing and posting journals accurately, including those for specialised transactions (such as outsourced services, equity, and loan activity), reconciling specific balance sheet codes to the trial balance level, and providing information for auditors.
• Producing and managing reports for areas including outsourced services, equity and loan transactions.
Key Competencies
- You’ll bring strong technical bookkeeping knowledge, with experience across general ledger and accounts receivable functions, reconciliations, and journal preparation. Leadership is just as important – you should be confident managing, coaching and developing a small team.
Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and a proactive approach to problem-solving will help you thrive in this role, along with the ability to adapt as systems and processes evolve.
Your skills and experience should include:
• Qualifications, or equivalent skills and experience, in a finance or accounting subject at SCQF Level 8 (such as Higher National Diploma or Advanced Diploma).
• A high level of understanding of the bookkeeping entries required for a range of financial transactions.
• Experience reconciling a variety of balance sheet control accounts.
• Experience leading, coaching, or mentoring a small team.
Desired Qualifications
- Although not essential, ideally you’ll also have:
• A professional accounting qualification — or be working towards one — from a recognised body (for example ICAS, ICAEW, CIMA, CIPFA, or ACCA).
• Experience working in a public sector finance team.
• Experience supporting or implementing a finance system.
