Job Description

As Group Director Accounting, you will lead REPA's corporate accounting function and ensure accurate, timely, and scalable financial reporting across our European business. Reporting directly to the CFO, you will oversee accounting operations for a complex distribution environment, including inventory, cost accounting, consolidations, compliance, and financial controls.

You will play a key role in supporting REPA's continued growth by driving process excellence, strengthening governance, leading transformation initiatives, and developing a high-performing accounting organization.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Lead all corporate accounting activities, including monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes across multiple European entities.
  • Ensure the accuracy and integrity of financial statements, consolidations, intercompany accounting, and general ledger activities.
  • Own the quality and completeness of the balance sheet and income statement, supported by robust reconciliations, variance analysis, and review processes.
  • Oversee complex accounting matters including revenue recognition, leases, foreign currency, acquisitions, impairments, and equity-related transactions.
  • Provide executive leadership with visibility into accounting performance, emerging risks, and business-critical financial matters.

Inventory, Cost & Distribution Accounting

  • Own accounting policies and execution for inventory valuation, standard and actual costing, reserves, obsolescence, cycle counts, and physical inventory processes.
  • Ensure accurate accounting for cost of goods sold, freight, supplier programs, rebates, and other key drivers of gross margin.
  • Partner closely with Supply Chain, Pricing, and Commercial leaders to improve margin transparency, operational decision-making, and working capital performance.
  • Serve as the accounting leader for a complex, multi-site European distribution network.

Governance, Controls & Compliance

  • Strengthen accounting governance and internal controls across inventory, purchasing, receiving, warehousing, order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and financial reporting processes.
  • Lead risk assessments, control improvement initiatives, remediation programs, and audit readiness activities.
  • Act as the primary accounting contact for external auditors and ensure the timely resolution of accounting and control matters.
  • Promote scalable and consistent accounting practices across entities, functions, and geographies.
  • Oversee transfer pricing documentation and related intercompany processes, ensuring compliance with applicable regulations while driving process standardization, transparency, and continuous improvement.
  • Collaborate with external tax advisors to ensure compliance with accounting-related tax requirements and support the continuous improvement of related processes.

Transformation & Strategic Initiatives

  • Drive the harmonization, standardization, and automation of accounting processes, systems, and reporting structures across European entities to improve efficiency, transparency, and scalability.
  • Lead or support ERP implementations, finance transformation programs, warehouse management integrations, and process modernization initiatives.
  • Provide accounting leadership for acquisitions, integrations, new distribution centers, network expansions, and other strategic projects.
  • Build a finance infrastructure capable of supporting continued organic growth and future acquisitions.

Leadership

  • Lead, develop, and inspire a high-performing accounting organization across Europe.
  • Continuously evolve the European accounting operating model, optimizing organizational structures, responsibilities, and processes to support efficiency, accountability, and future growth.
  • Establish clear accountability, succession planning, and talent development strategies.
  • Partner effectively with operational leaders while maintaining an independent controllership mindset.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, collaboration, and operational excellence.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or an equivalent professional accounting qualification.
  • 10+ years of progressive accounting leadership experience, including significant responsibility within distribution, wholesale, retail, manufacturing, or other inventory-intensive environments.
  • Proven success leading multi-country, multi-entity accounting organizations across Europe.
  • Deep expertise in inventory, cost, and operational accounting within a complex distribution or supply chain environment.
  • Strong technical accounting knowledge and experience navigating complex accounting issues and business transactions.
  • Demonstrated success leading ERP implementations, finance transformations, and large-scale process standardization initiatives.
  • Ability to operate effectively at both strategic and operational levels in a fast-growing, evolving business.
  • Exceptional leadership, stakeholder management, and communication skills, with credibility among executives, auditors, and business leaders.

Preferred

  • Experience in a private equity-backed, acquisitive, or rapidly growing international organization.
  • Experience integrating ERP, warehouse management, document management, financial reporting, and consolidation systems.

Why it works

3×

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.
