Technical Accounting Specialist
Location: London or Singapore
12-Month Fixed-Term Contract
Holtmon Jones is partnering with a leading global mining and commodities organisation to recruit a Technical Accounting Specialist.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced technical accountant to join a high-performing global finance team in a role that goes far beyond traditional financial reporting.
As the business's technical accounting expert, you'll provide trusted IFRS advice across complex commodity trading transactions, partnering with finance, commercial and trading teams from the outset of a deal through to completion. You'll play a key role in ensuring accounting implications are understood early, supporting commercial decision-making while maintaining compliance with IFRS and internal accounting policies.
In addition to advising on technical accounting matters, you'll support group and statutory reporting, lead the implementation of new accounting standards and policies, and work closely with Group Finance and external auditors.
