A leading international organisation with operations in over 15 countries is undergoing a significant strategic transformation—realigning to focus on high-growth, high-impact sectors. At the heart of this journey is a high-performing Group Finance function, driving change through insight, accuracy, and technical excellence.
You'll join the Group Finance team during a critical period of change.

* Serve as a primary contact for external auditors to support efficient audit processes.
* Ensure full compliance with IFRS and maintain up-to-date group accounting policies.
* Provide technical accounting advice and guidance on complex issues including disposals and impairments.
* Oversee the operation and development of the Group’s reporting systems (Cognos).
* Perform accounting tasks at the Group level related to IFRS 16 leases, share-based payments, and ECL modelling.
About You:
* Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or equivalent).
* Demonstrable experience in multi-currency group consolidations and technical accounting.
* Strong understanding of IFRS and hands-on experience with complex reporting requirements.
* Systems-savvy, with prior exposure to consolidation/reporting tools (experience with Cognos is a plus).
* Commercially aware, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
* Prior experience with business disposals or restructuring activities.
* Working knowledge of Cognos, or similar financial reporting systems.
For those ready to make an impact in a global business at a crucial turning point—this role offers the scope, support, and visibility to do just that. Do get in touch or share with your network.
