A genuinely high-profile opportunity to join a well-known, market-leading business as a Senior Financial Reporting Accountant. They are looking for a newly qualified accountant from practice (ACA/ACCA) who wants to step into industry with a strong technical foundation and build a long-term career in financial reporting and controllership. You will sit within a busy, high-calibre Group Finance team and take ownership of key parts of the external reporting cycle, while being exposed to complex accounting, group consolidations, and high-visibility projects.
This is an ideal first industry role for someone who has trained in audit or financial reporting in practice and now wants to work for a recognised brand with real progression potential. What you will be doing
* Own and deliver elements of the group's external financial reporting cycle, including draft statutory accounts, IFRS disclosures, and supporting the Annual Report & Accounts.
* Prepare and review consolidated financial statements and statutory accounts for key UK and overseas entities.
* Lead on technical accounting research and implementation of new or complex IFRS standards as required.
* Manage balance sheet reconciliations, group journals, and intercompany accounting at a senior level.
* Coordinate closely with external auditors, tax, and corporate finance teams through year-end and interim processes.
* Support process improvement and control enhancements across the reporting function, including working with ERP/systems projects where relevant.
* Mentor and review work of more junior accountants and assistants within the reporting team. What they are looking for
* Newly qualified ACA or ACCA (0-2 years PQE), ideally with a strong audit or financial reporting background from a top/mid-tier practice.
* Solid technical knowledge of IFRS and UK GAAP, with exposure to group accounts and statutory reporting.
* Experience preparing or reviewing financial statements, working on year-end audits, and dealing with external auditors.
* Strong Excel skills; any ERP or consolidation system experience is beneficial
* Clear communicator who can explain technical accounting positions to non-finance stakeholders.
* Proactive, structured, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
