Group Consolidation Accountant

Following the 2024 combination of Barratt and Redrow, the newly merged finance function continues to evolve, enhancing efficiency while providing more tailored support to the business and key stakeholders. As integration progresses, the team must address challenges in process alignment while ensuring data accuracy, regulatory compliance, and financial control.

Group Finance is structured into “centres of expertise” covering tax, treasury, financial and non-financial reporting, FP&A, and finance systems. Each team delivers deep functional expertise to stakeholders, be they the business, Exec, Board, investors, holders of debt, or government bodies such as HMRC.

The Group Reporting team ensures accurate, transparent, and compliant financial and non-financial reporting. It focuses on three core areas: consolidating and delivering group and statutory accounts, leading technical accounting and financial control, and delivering and improving ESG reporting and insight. Through these functions, it provides information and insight to users of the accounts, whilst also enhancing decision-making and corporate accountability.
