• Owning monthly reporting for the region, delivering accurate, timely and insightful packs that help senior leaders make smart decisions.
• Partnering with Group Tax to ensure compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
• Leading M&A finance integration streams for new acquisitions in EMEA, applying IFRS 3, managing purchase price allocations and embedding new entities into our financial framework.
• Driving process improvement across month‑end close controls and workflows.
• Maintaining stakeholder relationships, working with finance and operations stakeholders to get things done.

Skills and Experience

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent) with 3 years post‑qualified experience.
• Have operated as a Financial Controller or senior finance lead in a multinational business with complexity and scale.
• Hands‑on experience with M&A integration accounting.
• Confident managing month‑end close, improving processes and delivering under pressure.
• Able to turn complex financial data into clear actionable insight.
• Proactive, organised and thrives in fast‑moving environments, with an eye for detail.
• Based in or around Nottingham (or willing to relocate) and happy to be in the office 3 days a week.
