I am partnering with a wealth management group to appoint an experienced Interim Group Financial Reporting Consultant to provide critical cover during a period of transition within the finance function.
This is a highly visible assignment supporting a complex, listed financial services organisation that has recently undergone significant transformation.
The successful candidate will take ownership of the Group's external reporting process, ensuring the timely delivery of statutory and regulatory reporting requirements whilst managing a demanding reporting and audit timetable.
The role offers significant exposure to senior executives, the CFO, Audit Committee and external stakeholders, requiring an individual who combines strong technical accounting expertise with a pragmatic, hands-on approach and the ability to operate effectively under pressure.
Lead the monthly consolidation process across approximately 10+ legal entities.
Ensure robust financial controls and reporting disciplines are maintained throughout the reporting cycle.
Provide technical accounting guidance on Group reporting matters as required.
Take ownership of the finance elements of the Group Annual Report and Accounts.
Coordinate production of key financial disclosures, KPI reporting, CFO statements and supporting commentary.
Ensure all reporting outputs meet applicable accounting, regulatory and listed company requirements.
Act as the central finance lead across the annual reporting process.
Coordinate inputs from multiple stakeholders including Finance, Executive Leadership, Company Secretariat, Investor Relations, Communications and External Auditors.
Build strong relationships across a geographically dispersed finance function.
Effectively challenge and influence senior stakeholders where required to ensure reporting deadlines and quality standards are achieved.
We are seeking an experienced qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CA or equivalent) with a strong background in Group Financial Reporting within a listed or highly regulated environment.
Strong technical accounting knowledge, ideally within financial services, wealth management, banking or other regulated sectors.
Previous responsibility for Annual Reports & Accounts and year-end reporting cycles.
Prior wealth management, banking or broader financial services experience would be beneficial but is not a prerequisite.
