Orka Financial is recruiting an International Finance Manager for a four-month assignment with an established global consumer-products business in Basingstoke. The role is offered on a hybrid basis, with three days each week in the office.

This is a hands-on controllership position supporting several international entities through year-end and the wider reporting cycle. You will help maintain a reliable control environment, keep accounting records audit-ready and work across finance and operational teams to resolve issues quickly.

The role

• Coordinate month-end activity, including journal review, reconciliations and close meetings.
• Support year-end delivery and act as a key contact for internal and external auditors.
• Maintain effective financial controls and contribute to SOX testing and improvement work.
• Prepare payroll accounting entries and reconciliations, supporting related statutory information where required.
• Produce cash-flow forecasts and review bank reconciliations for international entities.
• Help resolve finance-system issues and support testing and improvement projects.
• Guide junior colleagues and promote consistent, well-documented accounting processes.
• Work with finance, tax, treasury, legal, HR and commercial teams on cross-functional matters.

About you

• Qualified accountant: ACA, ACCA, CIMA or an equivalent recognised qualification.
• Strong financial-control and year-end experience, including direct work with auditors.
• Practical knowledge of US GAAP, IFRS and FRS 102.
• Experience gained in a multinational organisation or professional-services environment.
• Comfortable explaining technical accounting matters and operating with limited supervision.
• NetSuite experience would be useful, as would exposure to international statutory reporting and process improvement.
• You must have the right to work in the UK without sponsorship.

The assignment is expected to last four months and pays up to £300 per day. Fully remote applications cannot be considered.
