About the Role
At Miele, we work every day on products and services that stand for uncompromising quality. We do this with people who take responsibility, collaborate across borders, and strive for continuous improvement. For our Great Britain, Ireland and South Africa cluster, we are looking for an experienced Accounting Manager to lead our accounting function and help ensure financial excellence across the business. We strive to make our workplace and culture as future proof as our world-renowned products. Come and join a team that has been evolving since 1899 and help us continue achieving our philosophy of "Immer Besser".
Your Responsibilities
- In close collaboration with the wider Finance team, you will lead, coach and develop a team of two, building capability, driving performance and fostering strong collaboration with colleagues across the business and our international shared service centre.
- Through effective planning and oversight, you will lead the month-end and year-end close, ensuring accurate, timely and compliant financial reporting across the Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow.
- As the local expert for accounting governance, you will oversee tax and credit management activities, ensuring compliance with local legislation, transfer pricing requirements and Group policies.
- As Compliance Ambassador, you will promote strong financial governance, safeguard accounting integrity and support a culture of accuracy, accountability and continuous improvement.
- In partnership with local and international stakeholders, you will contribute to finance projects, coordinate key activities and enable the harmonisation of financial processes across the cluster and in line with regional guidance.
- By understanding operational priorities, you will deliver practical, value-driven financial solutions that support the business and enable informed decision making.
