In the light of its digitalisation JMS Tax Audit is looking for a polyglot and ambitious Accountant to join their team throughout this transition. Thanks to its interactive and innovative new platform, the portfolio management of its 300+ companies will allow to smoothly handle 360 degrees requests, answering to the client's needs. From its legal to fiscal management, through financials, socials and administrative requests, client and accountant will be able to collaborate as a key player in the team success and client's satisfaction.
Definition
While every account corresponds to a client's company, the accountant will oversee the portfolio by handling, communicating and answering recurring and non-recurring requests within the portfolio of clients. The accountant will ensure the prompt follow-up of those requests until completion. He/she will be a key player in the relation and fulfilment of the client's accounting management.
Responsibilities
The accountant advises clients on the fiscal and accounting strategy to adopt as well as the actions to be taken. He/she therefore has a good knowledge and understanding of tax law and accounting, its input as well as the role of every internal and external consultant. Moreover, the accountant has the ability to understand complex challenges faced by the client and assist the client throughout. Those requests will be managed via the platform, allowing clear and transparent communication between the client and JMS Tax Audit offices.
Missions
The accountant ensures the quality of the accounting and various accounts. Responsible for the customer's financial health, he/she informs the customer of the evolution of his/her accounting, directly contributing to the management of the company, and advises them on the strategic plan. He/she ensures that clients always comply with their legal and financial obligations. He/she therefore ensures personalised and continuous follow-up of the client's accounts: based on an analysis of results, he/she has an overall vision and provides regular reports to the client and team. The accountant also offers ways to increase competitiveness and, more generally, responds to the client's challenges and urgent needs. The accountant deals with several clients and files at the same time, which requires good organisation and efficient time management. He/she must also have good interpersonal skills to create a trustful bond with the team and clients during good and challenging times.
