GL Accountant – International Career Opportunities

Looking for your next step in finance, where you can build on your accounting experience and open the door to a much bigger career?

I'm working with a leading international group operating across construction products, specialty coatings and building materials, who are looking to strengthen their UK finance team with a GL Accountant based in Newcastle.

This is an opportunity to join an established multinational where you can develop your technical accounting expertise today, while building towards opportunities in corporate tax, treasury, team leadership or even international positions in the future.

What's in it for you?

  • Competitive salary, dependent on experience.
  • Hospitalisation and group insurance.
  • 30+ days of holiday.
  • One day of home working per week.
  • Genuine long-term career opportunities within an international group, including the potential to move into corporate tax, treasury, people management or roles abroad.

What will you be doing?

You'll play an important role in the accounting operations of the UK entities, working across general ledger activities, month-end closing and financial reporting.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Managing and reviewing general ledger transactions and journal entries.
  • Reconciling balance sheet accounts and ensuring the accuracy of financial records.
  • Supporting month-end and year-end closing activities.
  • Working with the international shared-service team in India, reviewing completed work and helping maintain the quality of the UK entities' accounts.
  • Supporting audits, internal controls and ongoing process improvements.
  • Collaborating with colleagues across finance and the wider business.

Who are they looking for?

  • At least 5 years of accounting experience, including accounts payable/receivable and some hands-on general ledger experience.
  • A solid understanding of month-end closing, reconciliations and financial reporting.
  • Strong Excel skills and experience working with ERP/accounting systems.
  • Someone analytical, organised and comfortable taking ownership of their work.

If you're ready to move beyond routine accounting tasks and join a multinational where your next career move doesn't have to mean changing employers, this could be well worth exploring.
