Senior Group Accountant
The Client
A well-funded deep-tech business building hardware and AI products for industrial customers, having raised over $100m in its Series A from leading VC investors. It is moving from R&D and prototypes into production, operates across multiple international entities including the US, and is building its finance function to public-company standards.
The Role
Reporting to the Global Financial Controller, this is a hands-on Senior Group Accountant role covering monthly and statutory reporting and group consolidation across the group's global entities.

Much of the close, audit and controls framework is still to be built, so this suits an audit-trained accountant who wants to set those foundations rather than inherit them.
Key Responsibilities
Run the month-end and year-end close, owning journals, accruals, prepayments, fixed assets, payroll postings and full balance sheet reconciliations
Operate and improve the group consolidation across all entities, including intercompany reconciliations, eliminations and multi-currency translation
Prepare monthly management reporting and group cash flow reporting for leadership, investors, lenders and auditors
Prepare UK/US statutory financial statements and support local filings in other jurisdictions alongside external advisors
Own the external audit end to end, including PBC lists, auditor relationships and technical position papers
Write technical accounting papers on complex transactions and develop policies across revenue, inventory, R&D, leases and share-based payments
Lead inventory and manufacturing cost accounting as the business moves into production, including standard costing, cost of sales and stock provisioning
Build and document internal controls, play a central role in the ERP build-out, and use AI and automation to speed up the close and reconciliations
Essential Experience
ACA, ACCA or CPA qualified (CIMA considered), ideally trained in an audit firm
4+ years' post-qualifie...
