A newly created role, and a good one for a qualified accountant who wants ownership rather than just feeding numbers up the chain. You'll act as finance owner for a defined set of entities within the Record-to-Report function of a growing Accounting Centre of Excellence, in a private-equity-backed, buy-and-build business.
Real responsibility from day one: owning month-end close, producing the P&L and balance sheets, keeping the balance sheet clean and reconciled, and being the person who can explain what's moving and why. It's also a build role. The CoE model is still taking shape, so there's room to tighten controls and shape how things are done — not inherit someone else's spreadsheet and keep it ticking over.
Day to day, you'll own the month-end close for your assigned entities and hit the deadlines, prepare journals, P&L, balance sheets and reconciliations, support group reporting, consolidation and the year-end audit, prepare and submit VAT returns, and handle variance analysis against budget and prior period.
You'll need to be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, with solid month-end close and reporting experience and a good grip on balance sheet reconciliations and controls. Strong Excel is a must; multi-entity experience is a bonus.
