Group Reporting - Investment Management

The Group Reporting Accountant/Manager will own the preparation and delivery of the firm's consolidated group financial statements and statutory reporting obligations, working across multiple entities and jurisdictions. This is a technically demanding role within a regulated investment management business, requiring strong IFRS knowledge, comfort with FCA regulatory reporting, and the ability to manage external audit relationships independently.

• Prepare the consolidated group financial statements under IFRS, including group consolidation, intercompany eliminations and reconciliations across multiple legal entities and currencies.
• Own the Annual Report and Accounts process end-to-end, ensuring statutory and reporting deadlines are met both in terms of timing and budget.
• Prepare and review monthly/quarterly consolidated balance sheets and management reporting packs for senior stakeholders.
• Lead the preparation of FCA regulatory submissions, including MIFIDPRU/IFPR reporting, ICARA (formerly ICAAP) documentation, and other statutory and regulatory returns as required.
• Act as the primary point of contact for external auditors, overseeing audit planning, fieldwork and the resolution of technical accounting queries.
• Prepare statutory financial statements for individual group entities, ensuring compliance with applicable accounting standards (IFRS/FRS 102) and local regulatory requirements.
• Provide financial information and support to the tax team for corporation tax, VAT and other statutory tax computations.
• Partner with FP&A, Treasury and other finance functions to ensure consistent, accurate and timely reporting across the Group.
• Drive process improvements and standardisation of accounting practices and reporting templates across group entities.
• Support the onboarding of newly acquired or newly established entities into group reporting processes and systems.
• Contribute to system improvement and finance transformation initiatives, including ERP/finance system implementations or migrations where relevant.
• Line manage, coach and develop junior team members, where applicable.

Requirements:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified (or equivalent), ideally with a first-time-pass record.
• 2+ years' post-qualification experience in a group reporting, financial reporting or technical accounting role, ideally within investment management, asset management or a related financial services business.
• Strong working knowledge of IFRS, with practical experience of group consolidation, intercompany eliminations and multi-currency reporting.
• Experience with, or strong appetite to learn, FCA regulatory reporting requirements (MIFIDPRU, ICARA, COREP-style submissions).
