Our client is a large, international group operating across multiple services globally. The organisation is growing and evolving, with finance playing a key role in supporting change, consistency and best practice across the group.

Each business within the group has its own local finance team, while Group Finance provides oversight, expertise and support across all entities.

The team has grown significantly in recent years — and there’s more to come.

This is a newly created position within Group Finance, reporting to the Group Accounting Manager. You’ll sit within a shared services environment supporting UK-based businesses, with exposure to group-level reporting and projects.

• Preparing and processing cost recharges (IT, payroll, shared services, etc.)
• Supporting month-end close and maintaining the general ledger
• Preparing P&L and balance sheet analysis and monthly reporting packs
• Assisting with lease accounting and fixed asset accounting (capitalisation, disposals, depreciation and analysis)
• Supporting internal control and compliance activities, including documentation and testing
• Getting involved in finance transformation initiatives, including process improvement, automation and systems optimisation
• Supporting ad-hoc projects across Group Finance

This role would suit someone who’s keen to learn
