A market leading multi-national PLC is undergoing a significant period of Finance Transformation having recently established a pan-European Shared Service Centre in the Greater Manchester area. We are now looking for a fully qualified reporting specialist to head up an end-to-end Record to Report (R2R) and Group Reporting Process stream and act as a key figure within the management team of a centralised Financial Shared Services operation.
Reporting in to, and working very closely with, the Head of Finance Operations – and calling on the support of a team of Project Management and Process specialists – this role will be responsible for the establishment of an end-to-end R2R process that services captive clients across 14 countries in Western Europe. Once established, you will work with the Project Management team to migrate client business into the SSC and drive the standardisation and optimisation of processes across the R2R cycle. As each country becomes ‘live’, you will ensure that the R2R team is fully resourced, effectively lead and managed in order to achieve SLA’s and deliver best practice. You will work with the Head of Service Management to ensure a culture of continuous improvement is inculcated across your team and you will champion and lead this culture in the pursuit of service excellence.
As Head of Group Reporting you will manage the external reporting cycle including the planning, preparation and production of Annual / Interim Reports and the Board and Audit Committee papers. You will be responsible for changes to Group Accounting Policies – including the assessment of changes to accounting standards – and will prepare critical reporting issues papers for the Board. As a senior member of the finance team you will provide technical accounting support to finance officials and their teams across the Group and you will own and drive improvements to the year end asset impairment review process. You will manage the Group’s monthly management accounting reporting process, producing commentary and analysis for key deliverables and compiling monthly and weekly reports.
To succeed in this role you will be an ACA qualified (or equivalent) accountant and a Subject Matter Expert in the full R2R process with extensive experience of financial accounting and Group-wide reporting within an international listed business. It is essential that you have had prior experience of owning the financial section of the Annual / Interim Report and that you have managed the full reporting cycle. You will have a strong practical understanding of International Accounting Standards and will ideally have had previous experience of multi-currency Group consolidations. You will be experienced in asset impairment testing, accounting for acquisitions, financial instruments (such as forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps) share based payments and defined benefit pension schemes under IFRS. You will have a strong systems background – ideally including SAP and detailed knowledge of a reporting tool such as Hyperion – and advanced Excel. An experienced and highly capable leader and manager, you will have a proven track record of building and developing teams that are focused on continuously improving working practices in order to drive enhanced service delivery. It goes without saying that you will be used to working at a senior level within a large PLC and will have the advanced communication skills coupled with the interpersonal dexterity and gravitas required to thrive at this level. Essentially, you will be a team player with a can do attitude.
If you believe that you match this specification and are excited by this opportunity then we are very keen to speak with you. In the first instance, please apply online for this position and we will be in contact with all applicants.
