We are seeking a technically skilled and detail-driven Group Financial Reporting Manager to lead and enhance our group-level financial reporting and consolidation processes. This role will play a central part in delivering accurate, timely, and compliant external reporting across our international operations. You will be a key technical accounting resource, supporting IFRS consolidation, policy alignment, and special projects such as acquisitions and IFRS conversion.
What You'll Do
* Provide technical accounting support across all subsidiaries, ensuring consistency and compliance with IFRS.
* Lead the preparation of IFRS consolidated financial statements, including notes and formal statutory consolidated cash flows.

* Prepare audit schedules and manage external auditor requests efficiently and professionally.
* Manage the external financial reporting process, including investor requests and group reporting templates.
* Develop, implement, and maintain up-to-date group accounting policies in line with evolving standards.
* Lead the restructure of intercompany architecture, supporting a more efficient consolidation and reporting structure.
* Drive the IFRS conversion project across international subsidiaries, aligning global reporting for eventual automation of IFRS consolidation.
* Support or manage financial reporting systems, ensuring functionality meets group consolidation and compliance needs.
* Continuously improve financial reporting processes, identifying opportunities for automation, standardisation, and enhanced insight.
* Reconcile group results to US GAAP where required for investors or stakeholders.
* Support special projects, including reviewing contracts and business combinations to ensure correct accounting treatment and disclosure
What You'll Need
* Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CPA) with significant post-qualification experience in a group reporting or technical accounting role.
* Strong technical expertise in IFRS and consolidation accounting (multi-entity, multi-currency).
* Experience preparing consolidated statutory accounts and managing external audits.
* Proven ability to interpret and apply accounting standards to complex transactions (e.g. acquisitions, restructures, revenue recognition).
* Advanced Excel skills and familiarity with financial reporting and consolidation systems (e.g. NetSuite, Hyperion, OneStream, or equivalent).
* Highly organised and detail-oriented, with strong analytical and documentation skills.
It would be great if you have
* Experience with IFRS to US GAAP reconciliations or operating in dual-reporting environments.
* Experience managing or participating in IFRS transition projects across global subsidiaries.
* Familiarity with automating consolidation and reporting processes.
* Background in audit, financial reporting, or technical advisory (Big 4 or similar desirable).
