Fancy working for the Queen? The Palace is now hiring

The Royal Family is hiring again and this time, they’re looking for the best of the best when it comes to numbers and spreadsheets.

Buckingham Palace is looking to hire an accountant to join the Privy Purse and Treasurer’s Office.

The role is based at Buckingham Palace and offers a whopping £40,000 ($AUD 77,000) a year salary while promising a job that’s “forecasting figures whilst surrounded by a priceless past”.

"No two days will be the same and the deadlines we work to will stretch you," the job description reads.

"Yet in all that you do, you'll rise to the challenge and deliver faultless accuracy and a first class service to this unique organisation."

The right candidate needs to be able to work well under pressure, and "feel comfortable with a high level of responsibility and variety in your work."

"You'll produce management information and financial accounts for the official and private finances of a number of entities and account holders including both retail and charitable bodies."

"You'll provide everything from annual reports and statements, to tax advice. Preparing budgets, forecasts and reconciliations, your timely financial planning and control will be vital."

The right person also needs to be as “good with people as you are with numbers, which is crucial, given the customer faced nature of this role”.

If you’re interested in relocating as well as working within the walls of Buckingham Palace, better get in quick as applications close at the end of February.
