Role: Group Reporting Manager
Location: London (Hybrid working - 2 x days per week in the office)
Duration: 5 Months
Rate: £600 per day - Inside IR35
About the Role
We're looking for an experienced technical accountant to step into a pivotal interim role within our Financial Control team to support with year end. You'll work with our external auditors, provide the technical accounting backbone for our IFRS reporting, and bring clarity to some genuinely complex consolidation and acquisition accounting challenges. It's a role for someone who's as comfortable in the technical detail as they are explaining it to a non-finance stakeholder.
What You'll Do
- Lead the annual external audit — be the day-to-day face for auditors and keep every deliverable on track and on time
- Own technical accounting positions — assess and document key judgements, estimates, and complex matters under IFRS
- Drive statutory reporting — support the preparation and review of annual reports and financial statements that meet the highest standards
- Navigate acquisition accounting — provide technical input on business combinations and integration activity as the Group grows
- Master the consolidation — work across jurisdictions, entities, and currencies, reviewing eliminations, FX translation, and consolidation adjustments
- Bridge IFRS and US GAAP — evaluate and document accounting implications across both frameworks where relevant
- Build real relationships — partner with finance, legal, tax, and treasury stakeholders to keep everyone aligned
- Raise the bar — drive continuous improvement in reporting processes, audit efficiency, and accounting governance
