- Oversee billing, AR, AP, general ledger, revenue recognition and cost accounting, all run on NetSuite
- Apply the client's group accounting policies and IFRS (including IFRS 15 and IFRS 16)
- Produce monthly and quarterly reporting with variance analysis and business performance reviews
- Manage cash flow reporting and forecasting, payroll review, and reporting to parent entities
- Analyse working capital, profitability and EBITDA, and partner with business leaders on decisions
What you'll bring
- A professional accounting qualification (ideally ACA)
- Strong IFRS knowledge, with IFRS 15 and 16 experience
- Proven experience running financial close in a multi-entity, multi-currency environment
