Finance Reporting Manager

About the opportunity

A globally operating real estate investment company, established by a sovereign wealth authority and active across 18 countries is seeking an Interim Financial Reporting Manager to join its Finance team on a contract basis, targeting a start date by end of June or early July.

With over 20 years in business and a multi-billion dollar international investment portfolio, this is a business that operates at the highest international standards in real estate development and asset management.

This is a technical audit focused role within a sophisticated finance function. You will work closely with the Financial Controller and liaise directly with a Big Four audit firm, giving you genuine visibility across group-level reporting. The breadth of the statutory accounts workload, spanning both audited and unaudited submissions, means no two periods are alike, and the work carries real commercial weight.

• Lead preparation of circa 30 unaudited subsidiary Financial Statements for filing at Companies House
• Lead preparation of circa 15 audited Financial Statements for Companies House and/or lender submission
• Liaise with a Big Four audit firm as the group's external auditors throughout the audit process
• Participate actively in the annual Group Audit and Group Half Year Audit processes
• Provide annual leave cover for the Financial Controller as required
• Support the wider Finance team with technical financial reporting matters

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent)
• Background in audit, ideally from a practice environment
• Proven experience preparing statutory Financial Statements
• Exposure to Real Estate or property sector finance
• Comfortable managing a high volume of entities and submissions concurrently
  
  Strong understanding of UK GAAP / FRS 102 and Companies House requirements
• Confident communicator able to work effectively with external auditors and senior stakeholders

• Competitive day rate
• Interim contract with a targeted start by the end of this month ideally
• Exposure to a globally recognised real estate investment business
• Direct involvement in high-profile group and subsidiary audit processes

We are an equal opportunities recruiter, valuing diversity and inclusion and welcoming applications from all suitably qualified individuals, irrespective of background.
