The posting

We’re looking for a technically strong Group Accounting Manager to take ownership of the accuracy, integrity and technical quality of our Group financial accounting and reporting.

Working across an international, multi-entity business, you’ll lead the Group consolidation and statutory reporting processes, maintain accounting policies, coordinate the external audit and help ensure consistent reporting standards across APAC, EMEA and AMER.

This is a hands-on technical accounting position. It is ideally suited to someone who enjoys solving complex accounting issues, improving reporting quality and setting clear standards across regional Finance teams. It is not an FP&A, commercial finance or business-partnering role.

What you’ll be responsible for

  • Owning the monthly, quarterly and year-end Group consolidation process
  • Reviewing consolidated results, Group accounting entries, intercompany eliminations and foreign currency accounting
  • Leading the preparation of Group statutory financial statements
  • Setting Group reporting standards, formats, timetables and submission deadlines
  • Reviewing regional submissions and challenging unusual or insufficiently supported accounting treatments
  • Providing technical guidance on complex matters under UK GAAP and FRS 102
  • Maintaining Group accounting policies and ensuring their consistent application
  • Researching and documenting significant accounting judgements
  • Leading the day-to-day management of the external audit and coordinating regional deliverables
  • Supporting the accounting assessment of acquisitions, disposals, restructurings and other significant transactions
  • Managing, coaching and developing the Group Financial Accountant
  • Building effective relationships with Regional Financial Controllers, external auditors and the wider Finance leadership team

What we’re looking for

  • ACA, ACCA or an equivalent accountancy qualification
  • Ideally five or more years of relevant post-qualification experience
  • Strong working knowledge of UK GAAP and FRS 102
  • Significant Group consolidation experience within an international, multi-entity organisation
  • Experience preparing or reviewing Group statutory financial statements
  • Strong experience managing external audits, deliverables and timetables
  • The ability to research complex accounting issues and document technical judgements clearly
  • A strong understanding of intercompany accounting, foreign currency and balance-sheet accounting
  • Hands-on ERP experience, with NetSuite particularly advantageous
  • Excellent organisation and attention to detail
  • A confident communication style, with the ability to provide direction and constructively challenge senior Finance colleagues
  • Experience managing, supervising or reviewing the work of other accountants

It would be an advantage if you also have

  • Knowledge of US GAAP, particularly in a business with significant US operations
  • Big Four or other major accounting firm experience
  • Experience of acquisitions, disposals, purchase price allocations or other complex corporate transactions
  • Experience working in a multinational, multi-currency Group

Why this role?

This is an opportunity to take ownership of critical Group accounting processes and shape the quality and consistency of financial reporting across an international organisation. You’ll work closely with senior Finance leaders, regional teams and professional advisers, while developing a direct report and driving meaningful improvements to accounting and control processes.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
