Are you an experienced ACA or ACCA qualified accountant with a background in practice? Whether you're currently in practice and looking for your first move into industry, or you've already made the transition and now want greater scope and progression, this could be the right next step. This role offers the chance to join a respected Group Finance function, where you'll contribute to critical financial reporting, project support, and strategic planning in a collaborative and professional environment. As Group Reporting Accountant, you'll be responsible for managing the Group's quarterly reporting processes - both for internal presentation to the Executive Board and for key external stakeholders. You'll lead the year-end routine, including statutory adjustments, and act as a key contact for external auditors. You'll prepare statutory financial statements for multiple Group companies under IFRS and UK GAAP. The role also includes reviewing and improving internal controls, addressing technical accounting issues with practical solutions, and supporting corporate finance projects such as refinancing and modelling. You'll play an important role in the five-year business planning process by maintaining financial models and documenting key assumptions, alongside handling a variety of ad hoc assignments as required. To succeed, you'll be a qualified ACA or ACCA accountant with a clear understanding of current accounting standards and technical issues, particularly IFRS. You'll have a strong, hands-on accounting background developed in a practice setting, and bring an inquisitive, analytical mindset that pushes beyond simply preparing figures - you'll want to understand and explain them. You should also have experience or interest in investment appraisal, excellent communication skills, and the confidence to liaise with senior stakeholders across the business. Strong IT and Excel skills are essential, especially in using spreadsheets to support analysis and planning. Once you've completed onboarding, you'll benefit from a flexible hybrid working model, with the option to work up to three days from home each week.
