Group Reporting Accountant

Immediate Requirement Reading Initial three-month assignment Day rate – Inside IR35 Immediate starter required

I’m supporting a large international business with the appointment of an experienced Group Reporting Accountant for an urgent interim assignment. The key requirement is hands-on project experience in revenue accounting, specifically the transition to FRS 102.

We need someone who can support or manage the project end-to-end, including:

Prepare monthly group management accounts, consolidating results across multiple entities. Manage intercompany reconciliations, eliminations and accounting for foreign currency movements. Review entity submissions, ensuring accurate reporting and consistent application of group accounting policies. Prepare consolidated financial statements and support statutory reporting requirements. Maintain robust balance sheet reconciliations and investigate discrepancies. Support the year-end audit, preparing schedules and liaising with external auditors. Provide technical accounting guidance on areas such as revenue recognition, leases and provisions. Support group budgeting and forecasting, providing commentary on key variances. Monitor group cash flow and working capital, highlighting risks and opportunities. Strengthen financial controls and improve reporting processes across the group. Support the integration of acquisitions into group reporting and accounting processes. Work closely with local finance teams to deliver accurate reporting within agreed deadlines.

The wider role will also support group consolidation, statutory reporting, intercompany adjustments, balance-sheet control and the review of submissions from international entities. You must be a qualified accountant with strong technical accounting and group reporting experience.

The successful candidate must be available to start immediately or at very short notice.
