Developing insightful internal reporting under IFRS and bringing an analytical eye to the quarterly reports
Ownership of regulatory and statutory reporting under IFRS, including production of annual accounts and supporting the external audit
Drive the risk management agenda across the team, ensuring risks and controls are fully understood, documented and tested
Articulating technical accounting concepts to support and advise Finance and non-Finance partners on business and enterprise wide initiatives
Challenging existing processes, continually searching for efficiencies and driving automation opportunities
What we’re looking for
Qualified Accountant (ACCA, ACA or CIMA) with strong technical accounting knowledge and risk management mindset
Experience working in a Finance or Audit team. Financial services experience preferred but not essential
Strong reporting and analytical skills with a high attention to detail and focus on meeting stakeholder needs
Ability to work autonomously and manage multiple tasks and initiatives, as well as playing an active and supportive role in the UK Accounting team
Ability to take ownership of the role and set the context from the outset
Drive to progress a career in Accounting and Finance
We are committed to creating a level playing field and seek to create teams that are representative of our customers and the communities we serve.
