Group Reporting Accountant

I'm working with a well-established manufacturing business based in Bradford that is looking to appoint a Group Reporting Accountant to join its finance team. This is a key role within the organisation, focused on delivering accurate and timely group financial reporting, ensuring compliance with accounting standards, and providing financial insight to support strategic decision-making across the business.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious finance professional looking to develop their technical accounting and reporting expertise within a growing manufacturing environment, offering exposure to senior stakeholders and the opportunity to contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across the finance function.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual group financial reports, ensuring accuracy and adherence to reporting deadlines
• Managing the group consolidation process, including the review and elimination of intercompany transactions and balances
• Assisting with the preparation of statutory accounts and ensuring compliance with relevant accounting standards and regulatory requirements
• Producing balance sheet reconciliations and supporting the month-end and year-end close processes across multiple entities
• Working closely with operational and finance teams across the group to ensure consistency and accuracy of financial information
• Supporting external audit processes and acting as a key point of contact for auditors throughout the year
• Providing financial analysis and insight into group performance, identifying trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement
• Assisting with the development and enhancement of reporting processes, controls, and systems to improve efficiency and reporting quality
• Supporting finance transformation and continuous improvement projects across the wider finance function
• Ensuring compliance with internal controls, group policies, and governance requirements

The client is looking for:

• ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified accountant, or a finalist nearing qualification
• Previous experience within Group Reporting, Financial Reporting, Technical Accounting, Audit, or a Financial Accounting role

If you're a technically strong finance professional looking to take the next step in your career within a successful manufacturing organisation, this could be the ideal opportunity for you.
