Jobbeschreibung

At lastminute.com, we live for the holidays. We are the European Travel-Tech leader in Dynamic Holiday Packages. With technology, we turn spontaneous thoughts into meaningful experiences, helping people travel the world

Job Description

The Consolidation team is deliberately small. There is no layer between you and the output: you will own workstreams end to end, report directly to the Head of Consolidation, and see your work land in the numbers the Group publishes.

It also puts you at the centre of the finance organisation. Consolidation sits at the point where every local finance team, the Group functions and the external auditors converge, so you will build a view of how the whole business works that few other roles offer. If you want technical IFRS work with visibility, this is the seat.

The job in brief:

• Job Title:Consolidation specialist
• Working model :Hybrid from Chiasso or full-remote from Romania
• Team:Consolidation team within the Finance department.
• Contract:Permanent (100%)
• Travel time required:Very limited

What your impact will be:

You will contribute actively to the preparation, analysis and release of the Group consolidated financial statements, in line with IFRS, our internal control requirements and the Group monthly financial calendar. You will also support the team on work that serves other departments across the Group.

What You Will Need to Solve:

• Prepare, maintain and execute the reconciliation of consolidated ledger accounts and financial statements: monthly consolidated balance sheet, profit and loss, cash flow and equity statements, capital expenditure schedules, intercompany schedules and related deliverables
• Preparation and execution of consolidation adjustments and intercompany calculations according to the Group’s Transfer Pricing policies
• Reconciliation of the Group Net Financial Position on a monthly basis and accounting of key personnel long-term incentive plans
• Run periodical reviews of the reporting packages prepared by local finance managers in Tagetik
• Support the preparation of the Impairment Test (IAS 36) and of interim and annual disclosures
• Support the preparation of forecast figures and financial modelling on request both at Group and local level.

Systems, process and control:

• Develop, test, deploy and maintain consolidated reports in Tagetik
• Design and maintain internal controls over financial reporting processes, ensuring control activities in your area of responsibility are fully executed, documented, and formalised
• Build and maintain documented procedures that keep systems, processes and controls running efficiently and financial reporting accurate, including reporting guidelines for Group subsidiaries and maintaining of the Group Chart of Accounts
• Support the implementation and set-up of consolidation procedures and the intercompany set-up

Working with others

• Manage the relationship with external auditors and consultants on ordinary requests under the supervision of the Head of Consolidation
• Act as a reference point for local finance teams and other Group functions on consolidation and reporting matters

Qualifications

Your expertise:

• Master’s degree in accounting or finance
• At least three years in technical accounting and financial reporting, with deep knowledge of IFRS, gained in a large multinational group or in an audit or consultancy firm
• Deep knowledge of consolidation rules and techniques
• Professional-level English, written and spoken
• Practical fluency in AI tools like Claude, standing alongside IFRS expertise. Candidates must already use AI to speed up real-world reporting and analysis while possessing the critical judgment required to know when to trust AI outputs and when to double-check them for accuracy
• Advanced Microsoft Excel: lookups, pivot tables and confidence working with large volumes of data. Solid working knowledge of Google Workspace, in particular G-Sheets
• Audit experience gained in a Big 4 firm
• Working knowledge of Tagetik, or of a comparable consolidation and reporting system
