A Tier 1 Hedge Fund Manager is looking for a Head of Group Reporting directly to the CFO. The firm is well established with a strong record of performance and growth. Its streamlined structure means broad scope and real visibility with the CFO and Executive Committee. You will own the group's reporting across an international, multi-entity, multi-currency business, and lead the modernisation of how that reporting is produced, with technology and process improvement at the centre of the agenda.
What you'll do
- Run the monthly and quarterly consolidation of the group, including intercompany balances and currency translation
- Lead the preparation of year-end statutory accounts for UK and overseas entities under FRS 102 and IFRS, act as the group's authority on accounting policy and technical matters, and manage the audit relationship and timetable
- Ensure regulatory reporting for the group's regulated entities is delivered accurately and on time
- Take charge of the annual budget, the quarterly forecast and the group's cost model
- Produce quarterly management accounts with insightful variance commentary for the CFO and Executive Committee, and oversee the quarterly divisional calculations
- Choose and implement the tools that underpin group reporting, including consolidation and BI platforms, and automate manual processes wherever possible
- Redesign the reporting cycle around clear close calendars, review standards and controls, so the function is less dependent on any one individual
- Lead and develop the Group Reporting team, partnering with finance colleagues in the UK and overseas, Tax and the external auditors
What we're looking for
- A chartered accountant with at least 8 years' in-house experience delivering group reporting across multiple entities and currencies
- Deep experience of group consolidation, FRS 102 and working with auditors, and a record of leading change in reporting processes or systems
- Practical experience with finance BI and reporting systems (e.g. Power BI), advanced Excel and modelling skills, and a genuine curiosity about AI and automation in finance
- A background in financial services or asset management is desirable, along with familiarity with UK regulatory reporting
- A credible, detail-focused leader who can explain complex financial topics clearly to senior, non-finance colleagues
