A highly regarded international group is seeking an experienced accountant to provide interim support within its Group Finance function during a period of transition.

This is not a leadership role. Instead, the focus is on identifying a technically strong, hands-on accountant capable of taking ownership of the monthly group consolidation process and ensuring a smooth, accurate and timely month-end close.

Working closely with senior finance stakeholders, you will play a key role in maintaining reporting continuity whilst supporting the wider finance team through a critical period.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the monthly group consolidation and reporting process
• Manage and maintain the consolidation model within TM1
• Review and reconcile intercompany balances and eliminations
• Support the production of consolidated management and statutory reporting
• Ensure reporting deadlines are met accurately and consistently
• Investigate and resolve consolidation issues across multiple entities and jurisdictions
• Partner with divisional and local finance teams to improve reporting quality
• Support audit and year-end reporting requirements where required

About You

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
• Strong technical accounting and consolidation experience within a multi-entity group environment
• Proven experience using IBM Planning Analytics / TM1 is essential
• Comfortable operating independently and taking ownership of month-end processes
• Strong Excel skills and ability to work with large, complex datasets
• Available at short notice or immediately available preferred

Why Consider This Assignment?

• Opportunity to step into a well-established international business
• Highly visible role with exposure to senior finance leadership
• Immediate impact opportunity where your expertise will be valued from day one
• Flexible hybrid working environment

If you have a strong consolidation background, are confident operating within TM1 and enjoy bringing structure and stability to complex reporting environments, we'd be keen to speak with you.
