Non-Financial Reporting Accountant

We're partnered with a rapidly-growing UK financial services organisation to appoint a Non-Financial Reporting Accountant to support the continued development of its sustainability and non-financial reporting capabilities.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to build a career across finance, sustainability, reporting and data. You'll work closely with senior stakeholders across Sustainability and Finance, helping deliver external reporting, regulatory disclosures, assurance readiness activities and the ongoing enhancement of reporting processes and controls.

Importantly, this is not a traditional financial accounting role.

We're specifically looking for individuals who already have exposure to sustainability, ESG or non-financial reporting and an understanding of the frameworks, standards and disclosures that underpin this landscape.

What you'll be doing

• Supporting the delivery of annual sustainability and non-financial reporting
• Contributing to disclosures aligned with recognised frameworks including UK SRS, TCFD and other evolving reporting requirements
• Gathering, validating and analysing sustainability and non-financial data
• Supporting emissions calculations and wider environmental reporting activities
• Assisting with assurance readiness, audits, ESG ratings and external reporting submissions
• Identifying opportunities to strengthen reporting processes, controls and data quality
• Working with stakeholders across the business to improve reporting ownership, governance and accountability
• Supporting reporting automation and continuous improvement initiatives

We're particularly interested in people from the following backgrounds

• Sustainability Reporting
• ESG Reporting
• ESG Data & Reporting
• Sustainability Assurance
• Climate Reporting
• Corporate Responsibility Reporting
• ESG Audit or Assurance
• Regulatory Reporting with sustainability disclosure exposure

Candidates may come from either industry or professional practice environments.

What we're looking for

We're open to part-qualified and newly qualified accountants as well as professionals from reporting and assurance backgrounds. However, applicants should be able to demonstrate experience in one or more of the following:

• UK SRS
• TCFD
• Sustainability disclosures
• ESG reporting frameworks
• ESG ratings submissions
• Carbon or emissions reporting
• Assurance or audit of non-financial information
• Sustainability data management and controls
• Regulatory non-financial reporting

Alongside this, you'll bring:

• Strong analytical and data interpretation skills
• High attention to detail and control-minded thinking
• The ability to work with large datasets and reporting processes
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills

Why consider this opportunity?

This organisation has made sustainability and responsible business practices a strategic priority and is continuing to invest in its reporting capabilities. You'll gain exposure to senior stakeholders, evolving regulatory requirements and industry-leading sustainability reporting practices whilst helping shape the future direction of the function.

For ambitious professionals looking to develop expertise in an increasingly important and highly sought-after area of finance and reporting, this offers an excellent platform for long-term career development.

Please note:

applications from candidates whose background is solely focused on traditional financial accounting, management accounting or transactional finance, without exposure to sustainability, ESG or non-financial reporting, are unlikely to be considered for interview for this position.
