The Role
We are looking for an ACCA or ACA qualified Senior Finance Manager to take ownership of statutory compliance, financial reporting, and multi-entity consolidation across our international group, while also contributing to cash flow and treasury management.

Key Responsibilities
Financial Reporting & Statutory Compliance
- Prepare and review statutory financial statements across multiple UK and international group entities, ensuring compliance with local GAAP/IFRS requirements as applicable in each jurisdiction.
- Own the external audit process end-to-end: liaising with UK and international auditors, preparing audit schedules, resolving queries, and ensuring statutory filings are accurate and on time.
- Ownership of the balance sheet reconciliation process including cash and bank ID facility.
- Ensure compliance with local tax and regulatory reporting requirements (e.g. corporation tax, VAT, & Middle East and European payroll compliance, German trade tax filings) in coordination with local advisors and internal payroll/HR teams.
- Act as a key point of technical accounting knowledge within the finance function.
