Job Overview:

An Accounts Executive is a mid-level professional in the accounting or finance department responsible for managing a company's financial transactions, reporting, and ensuring accurate financial records. The role involves more responsibility and independence than an Accounts Assistant and may require handling more complex tasks and processes.

What will you enjoy doing (duties/tasks)

• Review and monitor daily bank statements, account balances, and transactions to ensure all payments, receipts, and fees are accurately recorded. This includes checking for errors, fraudulent activities, or any discrepancies between company records and bank records.
• Ensure that sufficient funds are available for daily operations, including managing transfers between accounts, paying bills, or covering payroll. A good coordination system can help optimize cash flow management.
• Execute necessary wire transfers, payments, or internal transfers between accounts, often in response to requests from different departments or as part of a pre-set payment schedule (e.g., vendor payments).
• In the event of payment delays, errors, or issues (e.g., bounced checks or failed transactions), liaise with the bank to resolve the issues quickly, ensuring minimal impact on the company’s operations.
• Build and maintain relationships with key personnel at the bank, such as relationship managers or account officers, to facilitate smooth communication and better service delivery.
• Provide updates on cash positions, transfers, and other banking-related activities to senior management, helping them stay informed about the company's financial standing.
• Regularly communicate with clients through meetings, phone calls, emails, or video conferences to understand their needs, concerns, and expectations. Proactively address any issues or queries, ensuring they feel heard and valued.
• Deeply understand the client’s business objectives, challenges, and goals. This helps anticipate their needs and offer relevant solutions or services that benefit both parties.
• Establish trust by being reliable, consistent, and transparent. Meeting deadlines, fulfilling promises, and handling sensitive information with discretion are critical to long-term relationship building.
• Go beyond transactional interactions by providing insights, offering solutions to problems, or suggesting ways to optimize processes for the client’s benefit. Demonstrating that you have their best interests at heart strengthens relationships.
• If challenges arise (e.g., service failures, delays, or disputes), manage the situation calmly and professionally. Address complaints or concerns swiftly and fairly, focusing on finding a solution that leaves the client satisfied.
• Continuously assess the client’s satisfaction and engagement levels. Implement strategies to enhance loyalty, like offering incentives, special discounts, or personalized services tailored to their preferences.
• Solicit feedback regularly to understand areas of improvement and implement changes based on their input. This shows clients that their opinions matter and can lead to more efficient and customer-centric service.
• Create tailored account plans for each client based on a deep understanding of their business objectives, industry trends, and any challenges they are facing. These plans should be aligned with the company’s overall goals, ensuring mutual benefit.
• Establish measurable goals, key performance indicators (KPIs), and timelines for the account, ensuring that both the client and company understand the expected outcomes and success metrics.
• Work closely with internal teams (e.g., sales, marketing, operations) to develop and implement the account strategy. This may involve cross-functional collaboration to align resources, timelines, and deliverables with the client’s expectations.
• Track the performance of the account plan regularly, ensuring that milestones are being met and KPIs are on track. Provide regular reports to both the client and internal teams to update them on progress and results.
• Be flexible in adjusting the plan as needed based on feedback from the client, changes in the marketplace, or evolving business goals. For example, if a client’s objectives change or if unexpected challenges arise, the account plan should be updated accordingly.
• Ensure regular engagement with clients to gather feedback on how the services/products are meeting their needs, and identify opportunities to enhance the relationship or introduce new services that align with their evolving goals.
• Identify any potential risks to the relationship, such as delivery delays, miscommunications, or shifts in market conditions. Develop mitigation plans to address these risks and ensure the long-term success of the account.
• In cases where accounts are nearing the end of a contract or agreement, develop renewal strategies or transition plans to ensure that the client continues to receive value from your organization.
