Senior Financial Accountant - 9 Month Contract
A FTSE-listed group is looking for a Senior Financial Accountant to join on an initial nine-month contract. The business is highly acquisitive and in the middle of an ERP implementation, so this is a role with real exposure to change rather than a pure BAU seat. You will work closely with the Group Financial Controller and the M&A team, manage two direct reports, and act as a key point of contact for finance teams across the international business.
The role
- Own elements of the group month-end and consolidation under IFRS, including review of submissions from international entities
- Lead the accounting for the group’s derivative portfolio (FX forwards and interest rate swaps), including valuations, hedge documentation and IFRS 9 hedge accounting
- Support the M&A team on acquisitions, covering due diligence input, opening balance sheets, purchase price allocations and integration of new entities into group reporting
- Act as finance lead on workstreams within the ERP migration, including chart of accounts mapping, data migration, testing and process redesign
- Contribute to half-year and year-end reporting, preparing technical papers and supporting the external audit
- Manage, review and develop two qualified/part-qualified accountants
- Deliver ad hoc projects for the Group Financial Controller and CFO
About you
- ACA (or equivalent) qualified, ideally with a Big 4 or top-tier audit background
- Strong IFRS knowledge, with hands-on experience of derivatives and hedge accounting
- Group consolidation experience within a listed or multinational environment
- Exposure to acquisitions and/or ERP implementations
- Experience managing a small team and working with overseas finance functions
- Available immediately or on short notice
