As we grow, the finance function has to keep pace: fast, accurate, and increasingly automated. You'll drive the month end close, build and maintain a high bar for internal control, and support the preparation of our statutory financial statements and annual audit completion. As you grow in the role, the ambition is for you to also take ownership of group consolidation and become the financial reporting engine of the business.

The work

SPECIFICALLY, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Also

Reporting, Close and Consolidation

• Own the month end and year end close against the group close calendar, preparing journals, accruals and prepayments, completing balance sheet reconciliations and delivering the reporting pack, with hands-on support while you build up to running it independently.
• Support group consolidation across our entities, including intercompany reconciliations, eliminations and FX.

Also

Technical Accounting

• Support technical accounting assessments, ad hoc finance projects and the development of group accounting policies (for example leases and share based payments), helping prepare papers and notes on judgemental areas and complex transactions.

Also

Statutory Reporting and Audit

• Manage the PBC list and audit request tracker, and support the wider external audit process, maintaining auditor relationships and contributing to remediation of any audit findings.
• Support preparation of the UK statutory financial statements and, alongside external advisors, compliance across our other jurisdictions.

Also

Controls, Systems and Process

• Own process improvement and automation across the function, documenting changes as you build them and using AI and modern workflow tools, including NetSuite, to speed up the close and find efficiencies.
• Support the group's financial controls and risk framework (RCM): help document key controls, carry out testing, identify gaps, and put together remediation plans.

Who they want

ABOUT YOU

• You're a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with 1-2 years of PQE and a solid grounding in financial reporting and controls, built through practice, industry or a multi-entity environment. The exact route matters less than the instinct for clean, well controlled numbers.
• You treat financial processes as products, not just tasks: when you spot a control gap or a messy reconciliation, you dig into why it happened and build a scalable solution, not just patch it once and move on.
• You're comfortable getting hands-on with close and consolidation work, journals, reconciliations, intercompany eliminations and FX, across multiple entities and jurisdictions, and you can move quickly without cutting corners on control.
• You communicate clearly and build trust easily with auditors, external advisors and internal stakeholders.
• You're curious about how automation or AI can make a financial process faster or more reliable, and NetSuite experience (or a comparable ERP) means you can get going quickly.
• You're high
