We are looking for a highly motivated and proactive Financial Accounting Manager to join our EMEA Accounting and Reporting team on a permanent basis.

- Manage the readiness workstream for newly licensed entities, including chart of accounts set-up, opening balance migration, accounting policies alignment, and design of internal controls supporting the regulatory environment.
- Prepare and review monthly reconciliations between IFRS and local GAAPs for the entities in scope, ensuring timely and accurate reporting packages to Group Finance.
- Support the preparation of statutory financial statements and manage the relationship with external auditors to deliver statutory audits within agreed timelines.
- Liaise with external accounting service providers to ensure reporting deliverables are produced accurately and on schedule on a monthly/quarterly basis.
- Support regulatory reporting requirements (e.g., FCA, BaFin, CBI, DFSA, or equivalent) in collaboration with Compliance and Regulatory Reporting teams, ensuring financial inputs are reliable and submitted on time.
- Stay up to date with relevant accounting standards (IFRS) and regulatory developments affecting payment institutions and e-money issuers, applying Group accounting policies, standards, procedures, and internal control practices across EMEA entities.
- Ad-hoc reporting and analysis for UK/EU regulators, Group Finance, and senior management; support special projects related to entity set-up, licensing, and accounting integration.
