Job Description
Every day, our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals.
Our Group Financial Reporting team sits at the center of the group’s financial control environment, responsible for statutory accounts preparation, group consolidation, and technical accounting across the firm and its international entities. As the firm's international footprint grows, the team's role in translating complex multi-entity activity into accurate, timely reporting that meets statutory, regulatory, and monthly investor requirements is becoming increasingly central. The role reports to the Head of Group Financial Reporting, and you'll work closely with local international finance leads, the wider Group Financial Reporting team, FP&A, Tax, Treasury, and external auditors, with direct visibility of board and senior stakeholder reporting.
We’re happy to talk about flexible working and consider reduced hours and job shares, and we’ll support you in balancing your work and life.
A Look into the Role
As an International Financial Reporting Senior Manager within our Group Financial Reporting team, you will:
- Take ownership of monthly international reporting for board and investor packs, collating consolidation inputs from local finance teams and articulating international business unit performance against agreed local and group strategy.
- Support the Group Financial Reporting team in assisting local finance leads and advisors in resolving technical and jurisdictional differences during local reporting implementation, and maintain a proactively managed calendar of statutory reporting obligations across international entities.
- Support the submission of statutory accounting packs from international entities, ensuring subsidiaries and acquisitions align with group accounting policies, and escalate judgmental issues to the Group Financial Reporting team where needed.
- Ensure timely and accurate P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow forecasting for international entities, working with FP&A on consistency between actuals and management accounts, and support active treasury management to provide foresight of local funding requirements and opportunities.
- Champion the use of digital and AI solutions to challenge the status quo, driving continuous improvement and streamlining reporting across the international entities.
