It's also an environment that is continuing to evolve. Processes are being developed and improved, so this role will suit someone who is comfortable working with some ambiguity, can identify where improvements are needed and is confident creating structure rather than relying on everything already being in place.

Managing General Ledger accounting and completing high-level reconciliations
Supporting month-end and year-end close
Preparing accruals, cost centre repostings and intercompany/regional recharges

You'll ideally have:
Strong finance / General Ledger accounting experience
Experience working with a Shared Service Centre or centralised finance function
Strong month-end and year-end experience
Experience of statutory reporting and year-end accounts
Good knowledge of VAT and tax compliance
Experience working with internal and/or external auditors
Strong reconciliation and financial controls experience
The ability to identify problems, challenge existing processes and implement improvements
Confidence working within an evolving environment where processes may not always be fully defined
Strong attention to quality, accuracy and compliance
Experience using an ERP system; SAP would be advantageous
Strong Excel and analytical skills
You may be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified or part-qualified, or qualified by experience (QBE). The depth of your practical technical accounting experience is particularly important.
Why Consider This Role?
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the technical side of accounting but also wants broader exposure within an international business.
You'll have ownership of key UK accounting activities whilst working across a wider regional finance structure, giving you the opportunity to build international experience and develop your career within a global organisation.
What's in it for You?
Salary of circa £45,500
