About the Business
Our client is a FTSE-listed business with a Group Finance function covering external reporting, FP&A, consolidation and reporting. TM1 (Cognos TM1 / Planning Analytics) is the core platform for all Group consolidation and financial reporting activities.
Following recent resource changes and a temporary reduction in senior capacity, there is a need for someone who can quickly take ownership of the TM1 environment and ensure the integrity, stability, and reliability of the Group's reporting processes. This is a highly technical, hands-on role focused on TM1 ownership, consolidation accuracy, and operational continuity rather than business partnering or stakeholder presentation activity.
Key Responsibilities

* Take day-to-day ownership of TM1 / Planning Analytics, ensuring the system is balanced, reconciled, and operating effectively at all times
* Validate FX rate uploads and ensure currency translations are functioning correctly across all entities
* Investigate and resolve posting issues, particularly around intercompany recharges and eliminations
* Act as the primary escalation point for TM1 system issues, errors, and data integrity concerns
* Maintain TM1 as the authoritative source of truth for Group financial data
* Monitor and improve controls, reconciliations, and system governance processes
Month-End Consolidation & Reporting
* Support and lead the month-end consolidation process across the Group
* Ensure data flows from source systems into TM1 are complete, accurate, and timely
* Review intercompany eliminations and consolidation adjustments
* Work closely with junior team members to support output quality and strengthen close processes
Essential Skills & Experience
* Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or international equivalent)
* Deep, hands-on expertise in IBM TM1 / Cognos TM1 / Planning Analytics
* Demonstrable experience in Group consolidation and reporting within a PLC or listed Group environment
* Strong understanding of intercompany accounting, FX translation, group eliminations, and consolidation processes
* Comfortable operating as the lead TM1 subject matter expert within the team
