Job Description

At Thermo Fisher Scientific, our Finance teams help colleagues make informed decisions, maintain accurate financial reporting and protect the company’s assets.

We are looking for a recently qualified accountant to join our PDX finance team in Birmingham. You will take responsibility for end-to-end accounting for our APAC entities and support accounting activities for LATAM, working closely with finance colleagues and business partners across regions.

This role would suit someone who enjoys working as part of a team, takes pride in getting the details right and follows through on commitments. Alongside your accounting responsibilities, you will help resolve queries, maintain effective controls and contribute practical ideas to improve how we work.

What you will do

Deliver accurate and timely financial reporting

  • Perform monthly closing activities, including journal entries, accruals, account reconciliations, reporting and analysis.
  • Review financial information, investigate differences and work with colleagues to resolve outstanding items.
  • Apply appropriate accounting treatments and prepare supporting documentation and supplementary reporting.
  • Coordinate with colleagues across regions to meet reporting deadlines, communicating progress and raising issues early.

Maintain effective controls and compliance

  • Ensure accounting activities comply with U.S. GAAP, Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, company policies, the approval authority matrix and standard operating procedures.
  • Maintain clear documentation and supporting records for accounting activities and controls.
  • Support internal and external audits by providing accurate information and responding to queries.
  • Follow company requirements for data retention, privacy and security, including controls within ERP systems, financial systems and data flows.

Contribute to the team and improve processes

  • Build constructive working relationships with finance colleagues, business partners and auditors.
  • Share information and knowledge, support colleagues and contribute to shared deadlines.
  • Identify opportunities to strengthen controls, simplify processes and reduce manual work.
  • Work with colleagues to assess and implement practical improvements.

What you will bring

Qualifications

  • Recently qualified accountant with ACA, ACCA, CIMA or an equivalent professional qualification.

Knowledge and experience

  • A strong understanding of financial accounting standards and internal controls.
  • The ability to prepare and review accounting entries, reconciliations and supporting documentation accurately.
  • Proficiency in Excel.
  • Experience with IFS or a similar ERP system would be helpful but is not essential. Familiarity with Hyperion and PowerPoint would also be useful.

How you work

  • You enjoy working collaboratively and contributing to the success of the wider team.
  • You take ownership of your work, manage deadlines and communicate early when priorities conflict or issues arise.
  • You are comfortable asking questions, seeking input and sharing what you know.
  • You communicate clearly with colleagues across different functions and regions.
  • You bring attention to detail and a practical approach to resolving problems.
  • You seek to understand existing processes and work with others to make thoughtful improvements.

What the role offers

You will gain experience across international entities, broaden your accounting and reporting knowledge, and work with colleagues across APAC and LATAM. Your contribution will help the team deliver reliable financial information and support the wider business.

Travel

Occasional domestic and international travel may be required, representing less than 25% of working time.

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.
