Job description

About the UN Global Compact Network UK:

We are a dynamic multi-stakeholder initiative, dedicated to connecting UK companies to the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest responsible business initiative. The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, rooted in UN treaties, provide a robust foundation and comprehensive framework for corporate sustainability and business action on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our mission is to champion sustainability leadership to create a world we want to live and do business in, by inspiring ambition, enabling impactful action, and collaborating to reshape the business environment for the better.

The UN Global Compact Network UK has over 900 participating companies, with a team of 31 people, and is growing quickly.

Our work is guided by the core values of the UN – Integrity, Respect for Diversity, and Professionalism – alongside nine additional values and behaviours of the UN Global Compact which can be found here. During a recent review, the team described our workplace as friendly, inclusive, supportive, passionate, and hard-working.

About the role:

The primary focus of the Bookkeeper role is credit control - raising invoices and following up on accounts receivable for our membership (approximately 1000 participants). The role will also include posting expenses and ensuring they are properly documented, reconciling bank accounts, and ensuring that records are accurate, up-to-date, and comply with relevant accounting principles.

This is a part-time role (3 days per week to start). The successful candidate may normally work from home or our office, but occasional in-person meetings at the office will be required (minimum twice per month).

Who we are looking for:

  • Someone with a strong understanding of financial principles and practices, with excellent attention to detail – ensuring accuracy in financial records and reports.
  • Someone with strong organisational skills, capable of managing time effectively and prioritising multiple tasks efficiently.
  • A confident communicator, both in writing and verbally, who can interact well with team members, management, and external stakeholders. They should also be comfortable using the telephone and willing to make calls when needed.
  • Strong mathematical skills and the ability to work with numbers accurately is essential.
  • Someone with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, able to review and interpret financial data, resolve discrepancies, and provide valuable insights to support senior management's decision-making.
  • An individual with good IT skills who is proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, along with experience in accounting software and CRM systems like Salesforce. We use Xero, but knowledge of this specific software is not required.

In your first 6 months:

To help you settle quickly, we will provide a thorough and comprehensive onboarding. Through meetings with key colleagues and online training, we will help you to become familiar with our way of working and our value proposition.

 

Key Responsibilities & Duties:

  • Accounts Receivable: Manage accounts receivable (member invoicing and collections) ensuring that all invoices are generated on time and payments are collected effectively.
    • Monitor Member Accounts: Track outstanding balances and proactively contact members regarding unpaid invoices to ensure timely payment
    • Debt Collection: Chase overdue payments by phone or email.
    • Record Keeping: Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of member accounts, including invoices, payment history, and communications, and provide regular reports to senior management.
    • Cash Allocation: Ensure all incoming payments are correctly allocated to the corresponding invoices.
    • Dispute Resolution: Investigate and resolve any disputes or queries regarding invoices or payments.
    • Reporting: Provide regular reports on outstanding debts, overdue accounts, and the overall status of the company’s receivables to senior management.
    • Liaison: Collaborate with internal teams (Participant Engagement/Impact & Growth/Programmes) to resolve any issues that may delay payment.
  • Expense Management: Track company expenses and ensure they are allocated correctly across teams.
  • Bank Reconciliation: Regularly reconcile bank accounts to ensure that all transactions are properly allocated and accounted for, and discrepancies are addressed.
  • VAT Compliance: Ensure VAT is accurately applied to all relevant transactions and prepare VAT returns for review by our accountant or Executive Director before submission, in compliance with legal requirements.
  • Support Audits: Prepare relevant documents and assist with internal and external audits by providing necessary financial records.
  • Petty Cash Handling: Manage petty cash transactions and ensure they are recorded appropriately.

The Bookkeeper may also be required to perform general finance and accounts-related tasks as needed to support the overall financial operations of the company.

 

Qualifications:

  • Proven experience as a bookkeeper or in a similar financial role.
  • Certification in bookkeeping, or equivalent 
  • A good understanding of double-entry bookkeeping is essential, along with familiarity with tax and regulatory requirements.

 

What we offer:

  • Hybrid working – After onboarding, office days will be negotiable.
  • Flexible working once discussed with your line manager. Our core/active hours are 10 am to 4 pm.
  • Employee Assistance Programme for you and your immediate family.
  • Three discretionary days off in December in addition to annual leave.
  • One additional day off for mission-related volunteering.
  • Enhanced sick leave.
  • Compassionate leave.
  • Season ticket loan.
  • Cycle to Work Scheme.

This is a part-time position (22.5 hours per week).

 

Next Steps:

The application process includes the following steps:

  1. Complete an equal opportunities questionnaire and provide essential admin information.
  2. Upload your CV.
  3. Longlisted candidates will be asked to complete a written test which includes questions designed to test your ability to excel in this role. Your answers will be scored by people, not AI tools.
