Newly Qualified Accountant - Group Consolidation (IFRS)
About the company
Our client is building out its Group Finance function at its London HQ. The role, titled Group Consolidation Analyst, reports to the Group Consolidation Manager. It’s a qualified position, typically suited to someone 0-3 years post-qualification.
Your tasks
Newly qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA accountant from audit, ready for your first move into industry? This group reporting role covers consolidation of 20+ entities under IFRS for a global manufacturer, with real exposure to M&A.
_Consolidation and intercompany_
- Monthly, quarterly and annual consolidation of 20+ entities in multiple currencies under IFRS, on a 10-12 day close
- Intercompany reconciliations, eliminations and resolving differences with regional finance teams
_Statutory, tax and forecasting_
- UK statutory accounts, plus support on other Group entities
- Accounting for the Group’s holding and corporate entities
- Supporting the Global Tax team and Group forecasting (EBITDA and cash flow)
- Audit support and input into Board and management reporting
You’ll also get genuine exposure to M&A and Group financing activity, and you’ll be expected to question how things are done and suggest better ways of doing them.
Requirements
What you’ll need
- ACA qualified (ACCA or CIMA considered), ideally within the last two years
- Audit experience at a large accountancy firm preferred, including group audits and IFRS clients
- Hands-on exposure to multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation and intercompany
- Confidence to challenge and improve processes
Experience auditing manufacturing, industrial, private equity-backed or other asset-heavy groups is a real advantage. A purely financial services audit background is less likely to fit. SAP or OneStream experience would be useful but isn’t essential.
What we offer
A strong bonus, real M&A exposure, and a Group Finance team that’s still being shaped, so there’s room for an ambitious person to grow with it.
