Key Skills & Experience
Essential
- Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent).
- Proven experience of European multi-entity consolidation.
- Experience working for a product-based business, ideally distribution, wholesale, FMCG, retail, or another stockholding environment.
- Complex consolidation experience across multiple European entities.
- Strong understanding of intercompany accounting and reconciliation.
- Experience with European VAT, ideally across multiple jurisdictions.
- Strong inventory accounting and stock reconciliation experience.

Important
- Product / distribution experience is essential. We are specifically looking for someone who has worked in a business that buys, holds, moves, and sells physical products, rather than a predominantly service-based organisation.
- Experience of European entity consolidation is also essential. Candidates with only UK entity consolidation experience are unlikely to be suitable.
- You will need to be comfortable working through complex reconciliations, identifying discrepancies, and driving them through to resolution.
- Most importantly, you will bring a hands-on, analytical, and determined approach, with the confidence to work across multiple entities and European finance partners.
