Senior Financial Accountant

Ebury Leon Office - Hybrid: 4 days in the office, 1 day working from home per week

The role

This is a hands-on job with real ownership and three parts: IFRS 9/IFRS 13, subsidiary audits and entity control. You will work day to day with the senior managers in our team and with the Group Financial Controller, who leads the department.

What you’ll do

IFRS 9/IFRS 13, the heart of the role

• Own our IFRS 9/IFRS 13 numbers, from calculation to posting: ECL provisions, CVA/DVA and credit risk adjustments.
• Explain them. Each month you will walk through the movements and send management a clear summary of what happened and why.
• Keep our IFRS 9/IFRS 13 policies and procedures up to date, and prepare the disclosures for Group and subsidiary financial statements.
• Work with the Data, Treasury and Credit Risk teams and answer the auditors’ questions.
• Question how we do things today and make our processes simpler and better.

Run the audits of our subsidiaries

• Be the audit controller for several subsidiaries, from start to finish: agree fees and sign-off dates with the auditors, and prepare the financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, equity, cash flow) and disclosures.
• Be the link between the auditors and the business, making sure every department replies on time and the audit is signed off on schedule.

Be the entity controller

• Prepare monthly packs and P&L / balance sheet variance analysis for your entities.
• Spot what looks odd, ask the right questions and challenge the explanations you get.

What we’re looking for

• IFRS 9/IFRS13 knowledge: provisions, ECL calculations, CVA, DVA and credit risk adjustments. This is the key requirement.
• 5+ years in audit, accounting or financial reporting.
• Hands-on IFRS 9/IFRS 13 experience and an audit background (ideally Big 4) are big pluses.
• A good understanding of how a statutory audit works, and the ability to prepare financial statements, including mapping.
• A project-manager mindset: you keep many people moving towards a deadline and stay on top of things.
• An eye for detail and for the big picture, and the confidence to challenge.
• Advanced Excel and excellent English. Spanish and a professional qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CPA, ROAC or equivalent) are a plus.

Why Ebury?

• Competitive Starting Salary with an annual discretionary bonus that truly rewards your performance from day one.
• Dedicated Mentorship: Learn directly from experienced managers who are invested in your success.
• Cutting-Edge Technology: Leverage state-of-the-art tailor made tools and systems that enable you to perform at your best.
• Clear, Accelerated Career Progression: Defined pathways to leadership and specialist roles within Ebury.
• Dynamic & Supportive Culture: Work in a collaborative environment where teamwork and personal growth are prioritized.
• Generous Benefits Package: Access competitive benefits tailored to your location, which typically include health care and social benefits.
• Central Office: A fantastic location with excellent transport links.
