* Partner with Financial Accountants to deliver robust monthly balance sheet reconciliations, resolve variances, and highlight financial risks.
* Act as key point of contact for internal and external audit, ensuring timely and thorough responses to all requests.
* Prepare and review annual statutory accounts and tax submissions, including quarterly VAT returns and international tax considerations.
* Manage intercompany reconciliations and collaborate across business units to resolve discrepancies.
* Respond to ad hoc financial reporting requests and manage key stakeholder relationships.
What We're Looking For
* Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) with 5+ years of post-qualification experience.
* Strong leadership experience, with a track record of mentoring and developing finance teams.
* Excellent understanding of Record-to-Report (R2R) best practices and controls.
* Experience in complex, multi-entity organisations—ideally with Group-level reporting exposure.
* Skilled in statutory reporting, VAT submissions, and intercompany accounting.
* Advanced Excel skills, with confidence handling large datasets.
* High level of accuracy, integrity, and a solutions-driven mindset.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a finance function that plays a vital role in shaping the business’s future. If you're motivated by transformation, control, and leadership, and want to work in a team that values continuous improvement, we’d love to hear from you.
